Unmarried daughter of Sarah Palin gives birth to second child
Sarah Palin is a grandmother again: Unmarried daughter Bristol Palin gave birth to her second child, posting the news and pictures on her Instagram page.
“My sweet Sailor Grace was born yesterday, our family couldn't be more complete,” Bristol posted Thursday with a picture of her in bed with the infant.
She also posted a picture of the baby with her older child, Tripp, 6.
Former Dancing With the Stars contestant Palin, 25, announced her second out-of-wedlock pregnancy in June on her online blog with a certain amount of defensiveness, knowing she'd be the target of accusations of hypocrisy given her own and her mother's conservative “family values” positions.
“I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you.”
No lectures, no sympathy,and no nosy questions about the father, she demanded.
The news of the pregnancy came on the heels of the collapse of her plans to marry a decorated Marine in March.
And the second pregnancy came seven years after her pregnancy with Tripp caused problems for her mother’s Republican vice-presidential campaign in 2008.
Tripp’s father (ex boyfriend Levi Johnston) is known; Palin, who is unequivocal in her right-wing views on her blog (she recently railed against birth-control implants for girls), has not identified the father of her new baby.
Despite her “leave me alone” attitude displayed in her blog announcement, Palin hasn’t hidden herself away during her pregnancy, sharing frequent pictures of her progress on Instagram, including disclosing the sex of the baby in October.
She even shared her due date on Twitter, in a selfie with her youngest brother, Trig.
