Witnessing History

It's happening. The Royal Baby, soon to be known as His/Her Royal Highness Prince or Princess of Cambridge, is being born today at St. Mary's Hospital here in London. I can't believe I am actually here during such a special moment in history. I was shocked to find out that some of my classmates don't feel the same. One girl had the audacity to say it was all 'a little much'. Can you believe it!!!

After some class time touring Westminster and the National Gallery Melissa and I just couldn't wait any longer. We had to go check out St. Mary's Hospital and see what was going on. A quick Tube ride to Paddington and we were right outside. You would not believe the number of news vans, reporters, and excited people were gathered around the entrance to the Lindo Wing. We walked through the throng of onlookers just taking it all in. It was crazy to think that just inside the building was a little prince or princess being born.


Now we are just waiting to hear an official announcement from the palace, which should come sometime in the next day. I can't wait to see the city celebrate such a momentous occasion, and I'll be right there partying in the streets with them!

Update:
IT'S A BOY! And we went to celebrate at Buckingham with a few thousand people!
