Sarah Palin: Surprised by Bristol’s 2nd Unwed Pregnancy, But Happily Awaiting First Granddaughter

sarah palin bristol

Second-time grandmom-to-be Sarah Palin finally publicly addressed her daughter Bristol Palin‘s second unplanned unwed pregnancy this weekend during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning .

Correspondent  Tracy Smith asked the politician-turned-reality TV star if she ever imagined Bristol would be in that same situation she was in about 4 years ago when she was expecting as a teen for then boyfriend Levi Johnston.

Heck, no,” the former Governor of Alaska replied, adding, “because being a single mom is, oh my goodness, my heart goes out to the single parents. But my enormous admiration for what it is that they’re able to accomplish doing double-duty. And I watch Bristol do double-duty all the time, you know, with her little boy, Tripp.”

Bristol and Marine Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer were scheduled to marry but the couple called off  their nuptials less than a week before walking down the aisle, then Bristol announced the pregnancy shortly thereafter.

The former FOX News correspondent addressed her critics.

“Of course, there are those who say, ‘Come on, this goes against everything you stand for,’ In response to Smith pointing out the inconsistency of her position from her familial situation, Sarah Palin added, “Well, the cool thing about puttin’ your faith in God is, He certainly is a God of second chances – and third, and fourth and fifth chances…I screw up all the time.”

But now, the former Republican Vice Presidential Candidate is embracing the expectant arrival and actually counting down.

“I can’t wait for about 45 more days, and I’m gonna have a little baby granddaughter – and I’m happy about it,” the former vice presidential candidate said Monday, adding that she “absolutely” considers the new addition a blessing.

Nice!

Inside RHOA’s Kandi Burruss’ Baby Shower

inside kandi's baby shower

This weekend, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and her husband Producer Todd Tucker celebrated the impending arrival of their first child together, a son, at a baby shower hosted at the Zucot Gallery in the upscale Castleberry Hill in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday, November 14.

It wasn’t hard to come up with a theme that vibed off of the mom-to-be’s name, Kandiland.  Very cute!

Along with balloons shaped like candy, a cup cake cart, multiple candy bars and stations and other yummy delicacies, upstairs there was a gentlemen’s quarter with a safari theme that the guys could chill in, we learned from Rolling Out‘s coverage.

Our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums Phaedra Parks  and Rasheeda attended along with other celeb moms we’ve featured including  Tiny Harris who were among the organizers.

On site, there were gorgeous black and white family maternity portraits taken by Atlanta-based photographer Drexina Nelson.

Actually, it was very cool to see the team incorporate many ATL and other small event planning businesses like JW Exclusive Designs, Johnnie Winston catering, Balloons And Things, Blushing Berries, Cami Cakes and Exquisite Events by Tomeka who all posted photos of the event in social media, in particular, Instagram.

Here are some of the lovely photos we spotted shared by vendors, guests and the guest of honor, Burruss, herself.

‘The Walking Dead’s ‘Tara’, Alanna Masterson welcomed Baby Girl

 

Congratulations to The Walking Dead’s Alanna Masterson (“Tara Chambler“) and her boyfriend Brick Stowell on the birth of their first child together recently.

Masterson announced the pregnancy in July via Instagram and last month tweeted a bump photo of herself in a pumpkin patch.

Announcing the birth, she simply featured a photo of herself laying a huge smooch on Stowell with the caption “We did it.”

We did it. @brickstowell ?

A photo posted by Alanna Masterson (@lucytwobows) on



Stowell went one step further sharing an Instagram photo of his new baby daughter’s tiny feet against his hands.



Too cute!

But before, he shared a photo of himself about a week ago in scrubs perhaps from he delivery room and she captioned a sleepy photo with two baby bottles with “been awake for days”, meaning the baby’s been here since then. Who knows?

The hit zombie apocalyptic show just got renewed for a 7th season so as the show tapes its final episodes of season 6, we can expect less scenes from Masterson’s character as she tends to her new baby.

That’s if Tara makes it to season 7. We hope so!

The new mom hid her pregnancy well during this season’s taping though we could tell by the fullness of her face and the baggy clothes and strategically placed chairs that she was preggers.

She and another recent new mom Sonequa Martin-Green did superb jobs working through their respective pregnancies. 

Martin-Green welcomed a son, Kenric Justin, in January 2015 and bounced right back into taping too so maybe Masterson will too.

Weekend Buzz: Get Chrissy Teigen’s Fab Dinner Look (SPLURGE & STEAL)

chrissy look

The web is abuzz about first-time, mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen‘s very cute look today while attending The Hollywood Reporter‘s Beauty Dinner in Los Angeles, California at The London Hotel on Wednesday, November 11 this week. The intimate event celebrated the launch of the double cover feature with one of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums Reese Witherspoon and her make up artist, Molly R. Stern and another frequent featured mom Taraji P. Henson and her make up artist Ashunta Sheriff.

Some style networks are saying Teigen is channeling Kim Kardashian who is known for wearing sheer clothes this pregnancy.

We love the green lace  Femme d’Armes shirt over a forest green bra tucked into a pair of very smart black Farfetch by Stella McCartney pants and paired with some cute black pumps while toting a black Kotur box clutch.

We’ve curated an almost similar look which will retail for about $2,500 below: 

Here is a version in a lower price point (about $100 total) for any preginistas out there that may want to replicate the fab look:

Seriously…Dads-To-Be Are Social Media Posting the ‘Birthie’ Now?

guys birthies

Um…so you’ve heard of the Selfie and the Usie and the Belfie, but behold, a Reddit user this week went viral with his “Birthie“, a photo of his wife in the 12th hour of labor.

As one could imagine, the photos upset a few of the 1.4 million and counting people who saw the viral photo of Gil Silano all smiles with his wife Sarah grimacing in pain in labor on a delivery bed. But it turns out it was her idea to capture their expressions as the baby entered the world, Silano says.

reddit

 ‘My wife wanted to make sure that someone took a picture of the expression on our faces when our daughter was born today.,” Silano captioned the pic. “So I took one.”

The proud dad-to a daughter born soon after the photo said he showed her the photo and she chuckled and the laughter continued even as he read all the comments on it.

‘I showed it to her in between pushes and she cracked up. Now I’m reading her all of you guys comments while she feeds our healthy 7lb 6 oz girl,” he added. “P.S. Her mom took pics of our reactions 10 mins later :).”

In coverage of the viral photo, the Daily Mail reminded its readers of last year’s marathon photo session that Brit singer Robbie Williams took of his wife  Ayda Field when she was in labor and eventually delivered their second child , son Charlton Valentine, last year, October 2014.

The “Take That”  singer-songwriter  snapped himself pleasant looking while his Turkish American actress wife looked downright miserable and probably in pain.

He also took a pic of her glittered Louboutin pumps on while her legs were propped up in stirrups with the caption: “‘When Ayda goes into labour she comes correct.” Funny!

He shared photos of himself entertaining her and of the two knocked out asleep wearing matching sleeping eye masks.

Honestly, I can dig it because it’s another example of social media being used to keep it all the way real with folks and share the insider look into what pregnancy, labor and delivery REALLY are about…and the wives looked like they appreciated the distraction from the other pain of labor and delivery. Good stuff!

EcoFriday: DIY Tips with Mom-to-Be ‘FABLife’s Leah Ashley (VIDEOS)

leah ashley diy

So here’s what happened.

A little while ago, I got the heads up from the folks on the new lifestyle talk show FABLife  about an episode where the daily show’s DIY enthusiast and Lifestyle specialist Leah Ashley did an awesome upcycle job turning a pair of baby cribs into children’s desks.

Ashley co-hosts  the show along with show creator Tyra Banks and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch mom-to-be Chrissy Teigen, design stylist Lauren Makk and Fashion expert Joe Zee.

On the show, Ashley helped a mom to quadruplets go through the kids’ grandmom’s garage and pull out their old cribs and eventually convert them into two awesome kids’ desk workstations! Amazing. You can see the clip here!

Perfect for our occasional Eco-Friday segments on the blog.

On the episode with the cribs transformation, I noticed that Ashley was also preggers and naturally, being obsessed with pregnant women, I started to do some online research and landed on her Living with Leah Facebook page and soon learned that the YouTube Star turned regular DIY featured guest for several TV shows is expecting her first child, a son, Finn with her husband of about a year.

She had a baby shower on the show recently and then had one with an audience full of other expecting women.

And I also discovered that Ashley has been rocking her stylish looks on her channel and on air during the daily talk show.

And Ashley also shares some pretty cool DIY vids that moms-to-be could appreciate, like this video on how to make  your own baby shower ornaments and items:

Ashley even took her fans into her own baby shower at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, California!

Why We Love Kim Kardashian West’s Candor About her Pregnancy This Go Round

kim k

Kim Kardashian West has gained 52 pounds this pregnancy already and she still has 6 weeks to go.

It matters that the celebrity pop icon is being refreshingly honest because she has such a massive following and her candidness about her struggles to conceive and her sharing that she doesn’t love being pregnant are all great for de-mystifying pregnancy.

With her openness, Mrs. West also represents the millions of women past and present who also hate pregnancy and have struggled to conceive.  The former are made to feel selfish or ungrateful if they dare complain and the latter hear insensitive things about their fertility all the time and have to deal and keep it together.

Also, for those who have never given birth, don’t plan to or are men, Kim K’s honesty in comments in social media and news articles also gives the other side that isn’t often seen in the press.

Most celebs boast about how wonderful pregnancy is and don’t share their conception challenges, so someone as influential as Kim K keeping it real is a big deal.

Like her and her fam or not, they do make a difference! Kudos Kim K West! Hang in there, mama! You’re in the homestretch!
