On the Way

I had thoughts about Kelly Clarkson’s wedding and her relationship with Blackstock, why leave this announcement off limits. I logged on to FB to post this when I saw her announcement. I should have screen captured when it said, “posted about a minute ago.”

I like that she made the announcement over FB and Twitter rather than make a huge production out of selling her story to some tabloid. There’s something fun about knowing the news before the press and realizing they don’t have any more of the story than you do. I googled news for her after I saw the story break and it was all about her losing her beloved dog Joplin. I’ve enjoyed watching the ensuing media frenzy.

From what I know of pregnancy, it usually takes a while to show itself. Most women don’t even realize they’re pregnant until 4 to 6 weeks. Even if you watch everything like a hawk, it’s difficult to be certain too early in the pregnancy.  

The wedding was on October 20th so I’m betting she was knocked up before getting married. Most celebrities don’t make public announcements such as these until almost 3 months in. There’s a reasonable margin of error so most wait until they know the pregnancy will last.

Leading up to her elopement, Clarkson was very vocal about wanting a pregnancy for Christmas. Her wedding was also pushed up and transformed into such an elopement all parents and siblings were excluded from the ceremony. 

While I believe the big wedding was scrapped for valid reasons, the cynic in me wonders if it was rushed because they suspected or knew a baby was on the way. Either way I’m happy for her. She’s stupid in love with her fiancee and loves being a stepmom. I wish them smooth sailing, lots of luck, and hope that we still get that country album she was talking about for next year.
