But: no crying over spilt milk! February was a big month for me, because I finally got the plan all worked out: In early March, I would say that I was 7 months pregnant, due in May; get that baby officially born in April.
I started wearing my big floppy long scarves every blessed day, starting on Feb 19; on Feb 23-25, I was at the governor’s conference and John McCain singled me out and said a lot of nice things to me, and made me feel just GREAT; we talked for
Well, it was just perfect timing that I could do the Women in Leadership interviews on Mar 3; on Mar 4, McCain was picked to be the GOP candidate; so I had to hurry up and announce my pregnancy on March 5, saying I’d deliver in May but knowing I’d have it happen a month early, in mid April.
Such a busy time! On April 13 we took those whale-sized Gusty photos, along with the TV interview. Then at the Governor’s Conference on Energy (Apr 15-17), I gave my talk and raised my hand when they asked who would not refuse if asked to be the VP candidate! That sure made all the papers.
And the wild-ride story worked fine at the time. Too bad I had to make that one up on the fly, after dear old Dad did it to me again and told the press that stupid story I told him. See what I mean about my family always complicating things for me?
But that story worked out okay, at least during the campaign. Boy, was I well positioned now for whatever door the next months would open. Yessss!
Oh, yeah, we made it look like Trig was born on Apr 18, and I showed him off a little right after that.

Sarah Palin announces her pregnancy in her seventh month, on March 6, but she still doesn't look pregnant.
She says she delivered Trig five weeks later.
Here's the one and only photo where Sarah Palin looked pregnant enough -- but Ooops! there are some problems with this photo.
Sarah's wild ride, in her own words, and
here's the audio.
