Congratulations to Alaska’s governor and her family on the inauguration of a new member:
Gov. Sarah Palin gave birth Friday to her fifth child, a boy, about a month before her due date.
Trig Paxson Van Palin weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces. A news release from Palin�s office says the 44-year-old governor and the baby are doing well and resting comfortably.
�Trig is beautiful and already adored by us,� said the Palin family in a written statement. �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.�»
Palin welcomes fifth child
Here’s hoping for a long and happy life for Trig. And here’s hoping this is just a nasty rumor:
Anchorage television station KTUU on Friday quoted an unnamed source close to the family saying the baby has Down’s syndrome.
When Palin talks to the press herself in a few days KTUU can ask about that themselves.
Update, Tuesday: Down’s Syndrome confirmed. The best to the Palin family.
