The daughter of former vice presidential nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) announced Thursday on her blog that she is pregnant with her second child.
Bristol Palin said the pregnancy would be a “huge disappointment to my family.”
Palin’s blog post is below:
(I’m announcing this news a lot sooner than I ever expected due to the constant trolls who have nothing better to talk about!!!)
I wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant.
Honestly, I’ve been trying my hardest to keep my chin up on this one.
At the end of the day there’s nothing I can’t do with God by my side, and I know I am fully capable of handling anything that is put in front of me with dignity and grace.
Life moves on no matter what. So no matter how you feel, you get up, get dressed, show up, and never give up.
When life gets tough, there is no other option but to get tougher.
I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you.
But please respect Tripp’s and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy.
My little family always has, and always will come first.
Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful.
The news of Palin’s pregnancy comes after she called off her marriage to Dakota Meyer, an Army sergeant and 2011 Medal of Honor recipient, days before it was set to occur in May.
