Announcing her pregnancy less than one month after her intended Memorial Day weekend wedding to Meyer, Palin did not specify how far along she is, or name her baby's father. "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," she blogged last week. "I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy."

Palin followed up her initial announcement by confirming that her pregnancy was indeed planned. "I made a mistake, but it's not the mistake all these giddy a–holes have loved to assume," she blogged on June 28. "This pregnancy was actually planned. Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn't go as planned, but life keeps going. Life moves on."
