A Royal Baby!

Kate Middleton and Prince William announced today that they are expecting their first child!

St. James's Palace this morning confirmed and announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby.

"Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," the palace said in a statement this morning.

Since the announcement has been made, Kate most likely is past her first trimester.

The weight gain around the face is already showing. Yup def pregnant! My face blew up almost immediately with my first! So my guess...........A GIRL!

The palace did announce that Kate was "in the very early stages" of her pregnancy, however, and today was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London due to suffering hyperemesis gravidarum—in other words, acute morning sickness. She's expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after.

"The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news," the palace said.

Royal babies have typically been born within one year of marriage. Princess Diana gave birth to William just 11 months after her wedding and the queen gave birth to Prince Charles six days before her first wedding anniversary.

Congrats to the cute couple!!!
