Relax, relax -- baby Solomon and mom Robyn are healthy and doing fine. It wasn't Solomon's actual birth (which, yes, took place at home) that made the Sister Wives season finale so shocking, it was what happened directly afterward. But I'll wait to talk about that until after the jump, because man, what a SPOILER ALERT!!!
Anyway, no biggie, because there were plenty of surprises that happened before the birth to concern ourselves with now. Like Christine's big reveal about what a hard time she had accepting Robyn into the family. Well, that in and of itself wasn't a huge surprise, but the part about how she felt like she treated Robyn badly was kind of unexpected. I never really noticed her being mean to Robyn, did you? I always thought it was Meri who had the major issues with wife #4.
Which is what made the aforementioned afterbirth event SO SHOCKING!
Okay, here goes. After baby Solomon was born (FYI: Kody was, not surprisingly, a pretty awesome birth coach. You could swear he had experience or something!), and each sibling had a turn holding their new little brother (a fairly lengthy process), Robyn told Kody that she needed to speak to Meri alone. Hmmm ...
What could she have to say to her family's founding wife? I figured it was going to be something like, "Hey, I'm glad we've grown closer over these months and thanks for sticking up for my kids, etc."
But no! Just moments after pushing out yet another member of the Brown family (by the way, those are some damn strong genes Kody has! Kid looks like him already!), Robyn offered her services as a surrogate to the fertility-challenged Meri.
Um ... wow?
Of course Meri cried, and Robyn cried, and the episode ended on a will they or won't they? note, with Robyn assuring Meri that she didn't have to feel pressured to make a decision right away.
Although, you know, if the Sister Wives really want to get picked up for another season ... might not be a bad idea ...
Do you think Robyn should be a surrogate for Meri?

Meri kept talking about how special her and Robyn's relationship had become before the birth and how very excited she was for solomon and how special he was going to be to her. The offer was totally unexpected to me and very sincere and touching. Robyn was stating earlier in the show about how she had suffered with morning sickness all times of the day all the way through the pregnancy. I can relate to that and for that reason do not think I could endure a surrogacy but she has offered the greatest gift to her sister wife who she loves and I know how much it means for Meri as well. I have to say that I really, really, really hope that Meri takes Robyn up on her offer.
its disgusting that this is a show. its not okay to have multiple wives. and its not okay to show people that this is okay.
I think it was wonderful of her to offer that to Meri. I could not live in as a sister wife but its up to them how to live their lives. They are not adults marrying children or molesting children like Warren Jeff did so whats the big deal. I find it just stupid that a man can go father lots of babies with different women and most of the time not pay for any support and its ok but you have a man who sticks by his women and children and he is a bad guy. I dont get it. I love the Browns
