I didn't think I was engaged in the whole Royal Baby frenzy, but when I got a text alert at 3am that the Duchess was in labor, I got intrigued. I remember feeling some pressure before I was in labor to hurry up and have the baby so everyone could hold it. I can only imagine what Kate is feeling.
I was reading an article about how the Royal Labor was progressing. It was a completely vague and uninformative article, understandably. What struck me in the article was not so much the attempt to fill space with limited information, but I was stopped by the fact that parents in the UK have waited to name their newborns because they want to either name their child after the Royal Baby or they want to avoid naming their child the same name.
This blows my mind. It's not that I don't believe it; it's just that I don't understand being so attached to a family I do not know. I would not be able to hold off a few days in naming my child, waiting to see what someone else does.
What are your thoughts?
Yesterday Olivia squeezed soy beans out of pods to depict how she thought the royal baby was born. Then she said, "Well actually, that's how any baby is born. It doesn't matter if they are royal." The conversation took an odd turn when she started eating the beans, but still I liked her commentary on the royal birth experience.
