Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gave birth to a baby boy early Friday, becoming the second U.S. governor to have a baby while serving in office.
Palin's labour began Thursday, about a month early, while she was attending a Republican Governors' Association meeting in Grapevine, Texas, said spokeswoman Sharon Leighow.
Palin, 44, the first woman to serve as Alaska governor, delivered a keynote luncheon address on Alaska energy issues Thursday before flying back to Anchorage and delivering the baby Friday morning, exactly a month before her due date, Leighow said.
The baby, named Trig Paxson Van Palin, is the fifth child for Palin and her husband, Todd.

A little early. Nobody seems alarmed, so probably all are okay.
Well, at least she did not him ‘Cosine’.
If it was a girl, her name would be “Algebra.”
The name Trig is a Norse word meaning "true" and "brave victory," Leighow [spokesperson for Gov. Palin] said.
Well, at least she did not name him ‘Cosine’.
Yes, it's a sine of the times we are living in.
In other articles I read, this baby will face significant challenges.
Not sure what this means, so maybe a good strong name is needed.

Her really difficult child is the one named Calculus.
You're going off on a tangent.
I guess “Quantum Physics” was already taken.
Glad to hear Mom and baby Trig are doing fine.
(I hope he doesn’t grow to be an overly large child. The other kids will call him Trog.)
Other names Palin comparison.
I read somewhere that little Trig has Downs Syndrome but it was an unconfirmed report. I’m sure he’ll be a special child and much loved, praise the Lord.
She is 44. The odds of Downs increase with age, so that is plausible.
They are my all time favorites. Too bad today we have to endure Sponge Bob and Pokemon instead.
Arctangent would be worse.
She somehow managed to keep the pregnancy secret until seven months!
Secret's out: Palin pregnant
