While the rest of the world was urging Kate Middleton to push for England (not to mention Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and the rest of the Commonwealth) yesterday, I was secretly hoping that the Duchess of Cambridge would keep her legs crossed for just a little longer.
The reason being that my gorgeous best friend Christina (who has guest-starred on this blog with her enormous bump several times over the past few months) was also due to give birth this week, and wanted to pop at the same time as our future queen to get her hands on the commemorative coins promised to all tots arriving on the day of the royal birth.
Alas, it was not to be. Kate dropped her sprog yesterday evening, while Christina worked her way through a pile of ironing at home in Huddersfield.

However, while the world seemingly goes crazy today over Wills and Kate’s baby joy, I have other, much much more exciting news to report.... at 10.30am this morning Christina gave birth to her twins.
Amelie and Rosa were born by cesarean section, weighing 4lbs 11 and 5lbs 10 respectively, and the whole family are doing fine.
These are the babies who have, while still in the comfort of the womb, accompanied me to farm shops in North Yorkshire, been gifted a truck-load of baby clothes from my overly-excited mother from the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance charity shop where she volunteers (not a supermarket!), and narrowly avoided a run-in with out-of-date supermarket formula milk thanks to Tesco. So I feel they have rightly earned their place on this blog.
Congratulations Christina and Matt, they are absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to meet them. xxxxxxxxxx
