I confessed my anglophila back when I sipped coffee at 5:00am from my souvenir mug to watch William and Catherine become man and wife. It came up again when I found out she was pregnant. I took it upon myself to write her a letter. I haven’t heard back from the palace.
I’m sure the tweets of an American mommy don’t mean much to a Royal mummy but, I vehemently defended Kate online today. I had the live stream of the door of that hospital up on my computer today. Seriously. I got anxious for Kate. If the whole world was tweeting about my cervix, I would have a f-ing breakdown. I mean, when I heard some “Royal obstetrics expert” on ABC News predict how many centimeters she was dilated and what that meant for her labor (excuse me, labour) I almost turned it off. When she said “It gives a new definition to the term ‘crowing’ Ha ha ha ha!” I was truly disgusted.
I am so happy for them. Healthy babies, rock! I genuinely thought it was a girl. Which goes to show you how good I am at gender prediction. Okay, I need to run. I’m sending my husband to buy a gilded easel to announce this baby’s birth. Every kid deserves that type of pageantry upon their arrival, but maybe without all the cervix tweets.
Also, someone pointed out to me on Facebook tonight that the royal baby is the same weight as the Baby Jesus that Ricky Bobby prayed to in Talladega Nights. That is awesome, and you can’t unhear that comparison. You’re welcome. Here’s hoping the Prince of Cambridge never has a binding endorsement with Powerade.
Spread it around:
Seriously. Bless that woman. Having your dilation be worldwide news? Not a joke!!
yeah the ‘experts’ and talking about her labor was putting me over the edge. also, i’m glad I am not the only one thought baby jesus!
Definitely! As much as I love the royal family and jumped on the bandwagon of refreshing my Twitter news feed every few minutes, I have no interest in knowing the number of centimeters. So happy for them – even made crown shaped scones to celebrate… – but they deserve some privacy still!
