Is she having twins?! Is she buying maternity clothes?! LET'S ALL FREAK OUT IN A SEMI-ORGANIZED FASHION!
How is Kate feeling?!

The pregnancy is obviously epically wonderful news — the news we've been waiting for since Kate entered the media at all! — but the palace told the world in its statement:
The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.
This condition, hyperemesis gravidarum, is a serious one. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, "Hyperemesis gravidarum is extreme, persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that may lead to dehydration."
Additionally:
The cause of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is believed to be rapidly rising blood levels of a hormone called HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is released by the placenta.
Extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can happen if you are pregnant with twins (or more) or if you have a hydatidiform mole.
Many experts believe that hyperemesis gravidarum is what took Charlotte Bronte's life at 38 years old in 1855. Treatment for the illness today includes small, frequent meals and plenty of dry food, lots of fluids, and medication to reduce nausea.
But wait did I gloss over something really important, now?
What if she's having TWINS?!
All we know is that she's conceived, not necessarily that she's just got one baby growing inside her, so Royal Twingate could indeed be upon us.

Is she having a boy (or boys) or girl (or girls)?!
Diana said she was glad she had boys and not girls because baby girls are obviously so much more viral (not that it would have been "viral" when Diana was pregnant — more like "breaking newsstands everywhere" ha ha) than boys. Just look at Suri Cruise vs. Tom and Gisele's Benjamin. Although everyone will probably be just as obsessed with this blessed child, whether it's a boy or girl.
