...the smuggest woman in smugtown?

Although I still think it was a daft thing to do.

I didn't read the thread last week but i assumed the babygrow was William-sized from the title Xmas Blush

TandB · 03/12/2012 16:24

Oops. And I even re-phrased it after I thought that "to think that the Prince William babygrow woman.." might give the wrong impression!

Ahhh, I just saw the news. How lovely (not the babygrow bit, that was weird). Ooooh, a royal baby!

(Yes, I am quite unashamedly excited about stuff like this Xmas Blush )

She is still an idiot. I hated the constant pressure put on them to firstly get married and then as soon as they did to have a baby. I just feel like arghh leave them alone!

I don't particularly like the Royal's but William, Kate and Harry are great. I'm very happy for them.. Although this is all we are going to hear about for the next decade and some..

I feel old suddenly. When I was about 6, Princess Diana landed at the airfield my father was a flying instructor at, and we got to meet her. I gave her a record of fairytales for Prince William who had just been born.

And now it was thirty years ago and he's having a baby of his own.

Don't suppose he still has the record though!

Does anyone else think Babygrow Woman will now become a minor celebrity and finish up on Big Brother 192 or whatever number it is up to?

I had the incredible non-sleeping baby last night. I could probably be mistaken for the world's oldest woman today....

oh i hope they dont find babygro woman. i thought it was really bad taste.

Justforlaughs · 03/12/2012 16:37

Well I obviously missed that bit of news Grin. I'm really pleased for them, not least because trying for a baby is always stresful and to be doing so with the eyes of the country (if not the world) on you (not literally!) must just add so much to the pressure.

TandB · 03/12/2012 16:39

Slarty - I agree with you. It could have caused huge upset.

But can't you just see it? They'll wheel her out to make predictions about whether it is a boy or a girl, and interview her about her Magical Royal Babyhunch. Next thing you know, she'll have her own royal chat column in some gossip mag, and then it's a tiny step to Celebrity Deal or No Deal and jungle frolics with Ant and Dec...

I think with all the rumours going round it was inevitable, but I agree she must be rather smug and will probably check magazines for the next year and half to make sure her baby grow turns up Grin

TandB · 03/12/2012 16:42

Is it "Babygrow", "Babygro" or "Baby Grow"?

I can never work it out....

BridgetBidet · 03/12/2012 16:43

She's still an idiot. For all she knew Kate might have just had a miscarriage, not been pregnant. It was a smug patronising idiotic thing to do.

slartybartfast · 03/12/2012 16:43

i thought it was a vest ? Grin

off with her head anyway.

TandB · 03/12/2012 16:45

Vest Woman just doesn't have the same ring to it.

What would make the media's day is if her name begins with a B. Then she can be Babygrow Barbara or Babygrow Brenda.....

just read of yahoo news it is samantha so pehraps psychic sam?

LemonBreeland · 03/12/2012 16:48

It is lovely news, but she will end up getting hounded more by the press now.

I also hope she is feeling better soon.

She probably feels like the smuggest woman in smugtown, even though it was a wankerish thing to do.

I have a theory that W+K deliberately held off getting married until they were ready to try for a baby, because they didn't want to face years and years of that kind of thing.

No such thing as "Waity Katie", more "FGS I am not a brood mare Katie".

slartybartfast · 03/12/2012 16:49

oh yes, good one, sleepsuit
