A new baby!

Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska, just gave birth to her 5th child ***and he's special***.
I get so excited when the population of people in the world with DS gets greater. 'Cause the world is so much a better place with them all here in it.

Here is the news release from the governor's website:

Palin Family Welcomes Fifth Child, Trig Paxson Van Palin

April 18,
2008, Anchorage, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin and her husband Todd welcomed the arrival of their fifth child this morning. The Palins were thankful that the
Governor’s labor began yesterday while she was in Texas at the Governor's Energy
Conference where she gave the keynote luncheon address, but let up enough for
her to travel on Alaska Airlines back to Alaska in time to deliver her second
son.
Trig Paxson Van Palin was born at 6:30 a.m. and weighs six pounds, two
ounces. The Governor and Trig are both doing well and resting comfortably.
The family released the following statement:


"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 Palins have four other children including Track,
18, Bristol, 17, Willow, 13 and Piper, 7.



Congratulations to the Palins!

What a wonderful story, what a fortunate family to think they will have what we have, their very own "Will".
