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.”
