Heh, I was an accident. I’ve pretty much always known it. I have no problem saying it, or hearing my parents say it. They always say it in kind of a funny way. A lot of pregnancies do happen like that, ya’ll know?

I am sure every single one of us has said something that didn’t quite come out as planned or is taken by others differently than we meant it. In our non-celebrity world though, it doesn’t end up in print for everyone to criticize. Give celebs a break, they can’t possibly script every single thing they say.

I agree with you 100% Renee. I didn’t take that comment in a bad way. I have heard ALOT of people use that terminology. It doesn’t necessarily mean that SHE was an accident the way that some of you are taking it. I took it more as a way of her saying that the pregnancy was an accident. Now, if she had said a mistake, then I can see where some of you getting so upset would take that in a bad way. Alot of my friends who have gotten pregnant have said that it was a accident, but they are wonderful parents and love their children more than life itself.
If you can actually get past the comment she made and really read the rest of the article, you’ll see that she loves her daughter with all her heart. Ms. Halliwell has always struck me as a very loving and caring mother. And this statement hasn’t changed my opinion of her one bit.

When I saw there were many comments on this post I read again wondering what it could be about, but coudn’t find anything! She was an accident, so what! She’ll know that anyway as her mother is raising her alone it’s not like it will be shock to her if she reads it on the internet later.

Nothing wrong with being a beautiful accident either!

I agree with you colleen. I see nothing wrong with what she said. You can tell she loves her baby, and it’s not a shocker the baby probably wasn’t planned considering she isn’t married or was involved with the dad, while pregnant. Not that unmarried people don’t plan children,but the fact that geri and bluebell dad haven’t been together for awhile, can kinda let you know maybe the baby wasn’t planned. Doesn’t mean she loves her daughter anyless though. It seems anytime a celebrity shares their views or stuff in their life, people are quick to judge. I hate to break it to everyone but none of us are perfect parents here, we will all say or do stuff that aren’t always the best thing, only difference with us is we aren’t in magazines or t.v. So people can’t sit behind a computer and judge us, like so many tend to do with celebrities. Their human too, their not perfect parents just like we aren’t either.

OK, I guess I’m siding with the “uptight” people in this blog because I don’t like the phrasing. Yeah, sure, we hold celebrities at a higher standard. That’s just the way it is.

My mom became pregnant with me when my brother was 5 months old. Obviously, I wasn’t a planned child but my mom has never called me an ACCIDENT. Gosh, if I ever heard my mom say to someone, “Yep, she was such a beautiful accident.” I’m sorry but I’d be kinda put off. But she always says I was a pleasant surprise. Sure, it’s a different way to say the same thing. But it sounds much better.

Perfectly said, Colleen

really not that big of a deal…

I personally don’t find a problem with her phrasing. A beautiful accident is much less offensive than some word choices. My kids were both “happy surprises.” We knew the risks, even with precautions. We always knew we wanted a family, we just had a different idea on when than they did!

I think some people on this blog need to relax. I’m starting to think people just post to judge or complain about something. I think what she said is fine. We all get that Bluebell wasn’t planned but she was a happy surprise.
