Baby Hamblett | A Fangirl's Reaction

Yes, I know, this is Union J related. To be honest though I don't think it’s possible for me not to write this post so you're just going to have to put up with it :)

At 9:30 am on Thursday 28th November Princeton J. Alexander Hamblett was born to Caterina Lopez and JJ Hamblett. It was great in anticipation as on the 18th September JJ tweeted to announce that he was going to be a daddy. That was the day when the fangirling began.

I've never seen a fanbase take news so well! Normally, whatever the news, there is a small minority who don't like it and post negative comments on all the social media websites. A member of a boy bands girlfriend’s pregnancy announcement can create all sorts of drama in a fanbase because it is a sign that said member is settling down and therefore no longer available. But, for Baby Hamblett, I didn't see one negative comment. Everyone was delighted by the news (including me) and was so happy for them both.

Since then I have been buzzing, literally so excited. I have met them twice since September and both times I have congratulated JJ. On the second time me and my friend Sophie, bought him a baby grow because we were so excited and that was why JJ followed me :)))

There have been many false alarms, like JJ and/or Caterina have tweeted something and everyone got the wrong idea and went crazy thinking that it was happening and then only calming down when we were reassured by JJ or Cat that it was in fact not happening. But this just proves the excitement of the fanbase as a whole.

And then the day came. On Wednesday 27th November JJ tweeted.

This was when everyone went mad. Like if you read this, it could mean anything but somehow we all knew. We all knew it was time and my timeline was filled with excited tweets and good luck messages (a lot of them my own). As soon as I woke up on Thursday morning I went straight to twitter to check. Nothing. My fangirl heart just had to wait a while longer.

All through registration and lesson 1. I was constantly checking my phone. Like I checked it every 5 minutes I was just so excited! And then at 10:20 he tweeted again.

As you can see from the amount of retweets and favourites compared to the other one, this tweet was one of the most exciting tweets ever.

So there you have it. Baby Hamblett, Princeton J. Alexander, was born. I fangirled my way through the day and victory danced my way home.

Congratulations to JJ and Cat and I wish all the best to the THREE of you in the future!
