Congratulations to Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin and husband on the birth of their fifth child, Trig Paxson Van Palin:
“Trig is beautiful and already adored by us,” the Palin family said in a 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 spokeswoman Sharon Leighow would not elaborate on the special challenges. She said the governor would talk with reporters early next week.
The governor went into labor Thursday while in Texas at an energy conference. Her contractions let up enough for her to fly home on Alaska Airlines to deliver her baby in Alaska, Leighow said.
That is quite a name.
The name Trig is a Norse word meaning “true” and “brave victory,” Leighow said. Paxson is an area of Alaska that both Palin and her husband, Todd, feel is “one of the most beautiful spots in Alaska,” she added.
