... Sarah, 44, had her water unexpectedly break (just a slow leak of amniotic fluid, she shared) while attending an energy conference in Texas, but checked in with her doctor, was able to stay, deliver a 30 minute speech, and then get on a plane to return to her home state in time for the delivery (which ended up needing to be induced) early this morning.
I am not a glutton for pain and punishment. I would have never wanted to travel had I been fully engaged in labor. After four kids I knew what labor felt like, and I wasn't in labor.
Sarah said that while she did not tell the pilot or flight attendants that she was 36 weeks along, she did not hide her condition either
The family initially released a statement saying that Trig has "special challenges," but did not specify what they are. However, on Monday, April 21st, they said the baby has Down Syndrome. Sarah and Todd's statement reads,
Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed.
HUH?????
In respect to Down Syndrome children you are an assh@t. I voluntarily raised my beautiful Down Syndrome step daughter, there is a waiting list to adopt Down Syndrome children. All children are a blessing from G-d.
AMEN!
Utter bullshit of course but if she was so what? Sounds like shes got bigger balls than most of the liberal men ala Breck Gurl.
Yep, she would be the perfect supermom if they were homeschooling on the campaign trail!
What pain? The only pain felt when our daughter was born was by my husband -- even the doctor told me to let go of him before I strangled him :)
I don’t know the circumstances of Trigs conception. Whether he was planned or not.
He certainly was welcomed judging by his big sisters caring embrace and the way the younger sister felt the need to touch his tiny toes today.
I think he will be just fine.
What an ignorant thing to say.
I am not impressed that Ms. Palin gets pleasure from shooting innocent animals.
And yet another ignorant statement.
And now he insults women with his cynical and patronizing belief that a female running mate will bring him female votes.
Three for three in the stupid column!
Both parties have fallen into the politically correct abyss. It is disgusting, and whoever wins, we are in trouble.
Wow! Congratulations on "hitting for the cycle"!
Are you always this bitter?
my mother had me in her 40s... i am the seventh of seven children... i am a lot younger than my six siblings... i have nieces and nephews my age... she and my dad had no plans to have a seventh child... but i am grateful that God blessed me to be born... you are sad...
That’s what I said on another post. Who cares? It’s better to be a great parent than be friends with unrepentant terrorists!
If she can handle it...why not?
Well....statistically... Down's babies are more likely to be born to mothers over 31.....so the blogger is apparently showing his/her ignorance anyway. Don't lower your IQ by reading their trash! *chuckle*
That is no excuse for your ridiculous personal attacks and if you are having fun doing that, you’ve got one strange sense of humor.
I am glad that women are seeing through these venal and craven comments, and tackling them head on. The sour grapes and slander brigade will find themselves in hard places if they keep attacking motherhood and the choice to have a child even if they aren’t “perfect” in the shallow ,pee warm wading pool of the misogynist left wing mindset.
You know it is quite possible that this wasn’t a planned pregnancy. I have a friend who was blessed with a baby when she was 43. It was a huge surprise, as their youngest was 10 or 11, but they took it as a blessing.
I’m telling you she is just the cat’s pajamas. We are talking a politically viable Ann Coulter with ambitions.
Check my tagline.
it's really hard some times, but i try not to play the Holy Spirit in people's lives... as a conservative Christian woman who has independent and strong leadership tendencies, i sometimes find it hard to be in that circle... i feel like i am supposed to be what is considered "traditional" all of the time--or else i must not really be a conservative Christian... all i know is, Sarah Palin speaks to me and my good friends... we cannot help but be excited...
Loved your comment... and just wanted to share with you that I am very excited about this choice for VP as well.
