Gov. Sarah Palin gave birth to her fifth child at 6:30 this morning at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, her spokeswoman said today.
The boy's name is Trig Paxson Van Palin. He's 6 pounds, 2 ounces.
"The governor's labor began while she was in Texas, and I do know that she got on a plane and landed in Anchorage late last night," said Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow.
Leighow said the governor and her son are healthy and resting comfortably today.
The baby wasn't due until May 18. "It was quite a surprise," Leighow

SNIP............The Palin family issued a statement that read: "Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives............SNIP

[Bahbah]

They sound like remarkable and special people, the Palins.

May God bless this family.

I believe He has. Sounds like a wonderful family to belong to.

Wow, what a beauty, in all ways. Glad to see people having lots of babies!

Congrats to the Palin family...

...but Trig ? Why couldn’t she choose a more normal sounding name like Epaphroditus ?

[Solitar]

Give her a few months, then have her be McCain’s Vice President.

Nice pics ......hadn't seen them.

That's not a 'sport' caught salmon, though.
It's been gillnetted. Notice the net marks on top of the head where the scales are rubbed off?

The Palins fish commercially in Bristol Bay (setnet, I tink, and their oldest daughter is named Bristol.)

...but Trig ?

Algebra is one of the girls.

...but Trig ?

Other names Palin comparison.

[vpintheak]

All their kids have weird names, but her conservative credentials are darn near impeccable. Congrats to the Governor!

I asked her if she was a RINO...... she said ((( NO )))

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Wishing the Palin family well, and I’m also seriously hoping that Sarah Palin is on McCain’s list of VP possibilities.

[goodnesswins]

How on earth did they LET her get on a plane from Texas to Alaska????

[martin_fierro]

Trig Paxson Van Palin.

You Who.

"I asked her if she was a RINO...... she said ((( NO )))"

Not wanting to dampen the moment but since the question came up, she is most definitely a RINO. This is from one who supported her and contributed to her with vigor. Sarah is a narcissist who is out for Sarah above all else.

[ Sarah is a narcissist who is out for Sarah above all else. ]

But she is sooo cute.. and seems to dislike thieves even they are republicans..

Apparently it's good to be the governor. You know that wouldn't have happened with a regular citizen.

[skeptoid]

She said when she had Piper -- Palin was mayor of Wasilla at the time -- the baby was born on a Monday and she returned to the office on Tuesday.

Apparently, birthing just doesn't slow her down.

[ASOC]

!st year in office, state budget up 15%, second year, budget up 23%.

Taxs raised no once, but twice and retroactivly.

State budget od 13.5 BILLION for a population of of about 650K.

Ya, she no RINO, she’s a pro-life Democrat....
Oh, wait, this session, she **didn’t help** push the partial birth abortion ban bill nor the Parential consent bill...

She’s a conservative Dem.

No, she’s a classic Dem - tax and spend.

(No, I didn’t vote for her, based on her past history)

[strongbow]

"But she is sooo cute"

So is her little friend Mayor Markie Begich. I suppose you want to see him as our next senator cause he is so cute too. Democrat thieves are so much nicer than republican thieves.

[Impy]

Not to be callous but a specials needs baby in arms of a VP candidate would make for good media mush.

[Marysecretary]

That might not be such a bad idea...

[skeptoid]

Huge budget, because of wellhead $$.

But she DID slash the proposed budget, and she DID withdraw life suppport from the Bridge to Nowhere.

I sincerely hope it never regains consciousness)
