Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin welcomes son Trig Paxson Van

Although not due until May 18th, the governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, gave birth to her fifth child today, Friday, April 18th, at 6:30 am. Trig Paxson Van Palin weighed in at 6 lbs, 2 oz when he was born at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. Sarah, 44, went into labor in Texas, but was able to get on a plane and get back to her home state in time for the delivery early this morning.

The family has released that Trig has "special challenges," but did not specify what they are.

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. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed.

The pregnancy was announced in March. Trig join siblings Track, 18, Bristol, 17, Willow, 13, and Piper, 6.
