Kate Middleton gave a glimpse of her blooming baby bump over the weekend.

The Duchess of Cambridge who is five months pregnant celebrated St. Patrick's Day in royal tradition by handing out springs of shamrock to soldiers in the Irish Guard. Kate was photographed glowing in a green dress coat, shamrock pin and hair stuffed in a black hat.

According to the Associated Press, when asked if Middleton knows if she's having a boy or girl, she responded, "not yet."

Unfortunately, the Duchess ran into some technical problems when the heel of her black shoe got stuck in the drain. She had to lean on Prince Williams as she yanked it out. The mishap didn't stop her from handing out shamrock sprigs and chatting with onlookers.

US Weekly reported that Sergeant Thomas Laven, had the chance to briefly speak to the Duchess and shared parenthood stories of his infant son.

"I congratulated her on the impending birth and said, 'You've got sleepless nights to come,'" he said. "She [Middleton] said she was prepared for it."

When Laven asked Middleton if she decided on any baby names yet, she responded "no." A source claimed that Middleton and Prince William has nicknamed the unborn baby as their "little grape."

As reported by Enstars earlier, a source said the baby's name will be named Elizabeth Diane Carole, after Prince's William's mother and grandmother. The middle names will also be in honor of their parents, William's late mother Princess Diana, and Kate's mom Carole. Carole is also the Latin variation of the name Charles, and Elizabeth is the middle name of Middleton's mother.

On March 5, Middleton visited the National Fishing Heritage in Grimsy and walked among the 2,000-person crowd who had waited up to six hours in freezing fog for her arrival, where she reportedly revealed the baby's gender.

Diana Burton, a local, handed Middleton a white teddy bear, which the Dutchess accepted with a smile.

"Thank you, I'll take that for my d-" Middleton said before she stopped the rest of her comments.

According to reports, despite Prince William's conflicting work schedule as a search-and-rescue pilot, he's doing everything to support his pregnant wife. "They make it work as best they can," the source revealed.
