I've given up trying to figure out when the baby is due I read an article yesterday that suggested late April or early May. Meghan's looked like she's ready to pop for weeks!

Here are some hints that I recall:

- Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding on October 12, 2018. Media reports indicated that Meghan had already had 12 week scans.

- On Christmas, Meghan told fans, "We're nearly there!" I took this to mean that she was entering third trimester.

- On or around February 12, George Clooney said that Meghan was seven months pregnant.

If I’ve done my math right Meghan should be at approximately 37 weeks.
Already had 12 wk scan on Oct. 12

12 x 7 = 84
10/12 - 4/2 = 172
84 + 172 = 256 days
256/7 = 36.37 weeks or approximately 37

37 weeks is considered early term. It would be very good for baby’s development to have two more weeks. 39 - 41 weeks is considered full term. Let’s hope things go well til Meghan reaches full term in about two weeks.​

That should read 36.57 wks! That’s why it rounds up to 37 wks.

I did the same math I'm sticking with my prediction that the baby will be born around April 15, give or take a day or two before or after. DH and I are going to Chicago the weekend of April 12-14. There always seems to be "breaking news" when we're away, so maybe the royal birth will be the big story We were "up north" on Grand Traverse Bay when Princess Diana died in the fatal car crash. We had planned to stop in Traverse City on the way home, but I insisted on getting home ASAP so I could watch cable news coverage of the tragic accident.

LOVE THESE!

I think the Trooping the Color 2018 is my favorite, but there are many that could be strong contenders for second place. None that I strongly disliked.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Love all Kate's hats, but my favorite among these is Christmas Day, 2011 (purple).

Meghan WON'T pose for an 'on the steps' moment after leaving hospital with Baby Sussex because it doesn't fit with her 'feminist world view', royal commentators claim

They will do the modern thing and put a photo of them on Instagram I’m pretty sure of this.

WTH does standing on the steps with a baby have anything to do with being a feminist? I think this is a made up story.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Crazy.

How does Kate keep these hats on her head? Some of them look to be heavy. I think I would lose my balance if I wore some of those hats.

Bazinga, another slam IMO. I don't feel it necessary they do the step thing. This baby is never going to see the Throne.

I think it’s more likely she doesn’t want to copy what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did. It would be great if they could sell photos to a magazine and raise a lot of money for sick or poor children that’s what I would do in their position. But they won’t be allowed to do this even if they wanted to.

Following the Sussexes' Instagram debut on Tuesday, Prince Harry has shared the most adorable post - which includes the cutest baby photo. A series of photographs from Harry's visit to YMCA Ealing were shared on the account on Wednesday evening, showing some sweet moments from the engagement. Among them, Harry made a three-month-old baby smile as he pulled faces and stuck his tongue out at her. Another photo shows him joining in with a ballet class lesson, while a third captures him discussing mental health and the perils of social media.

The Duke of Sussex today. It always makes me smile seeing how good he is with children. He is going to make a wonderful father.

The Duke of Sussex has said that social media is 'more addictive than drugs and alcohol' during a roundtable discussion on young people's mental health.

Harry visited the YMCA in South Ealing, west London, on Wednesday, to discuss and meet with representatives from charities including Stonewall and Young Minds.

The roundtable event was convened by Heads Together, a mental health initiative headed by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

I agree with this. It is terrible the abuse they get on Twitter and Instagram from trolls.

I hope they do the step thing, but I agree it is a passive-aggressive slam.

I really hope they do too. I understand if they don't.

Good for her. She doesn’t want to be primped and blow dried

I can’t speak for most women, but having a baby may be so painful that it is incredible women have more.

And of course the flabby belly and the gushing blood.
