Bristol Palin gave birth to a baby boy over the weekend. The baby weighted in at 7 pounds 4 ounces. He was born in Palmer, Alaska and is named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.

Bristol Palin was the center of a firestorm of criticism during the Presidential campaign. Both she and her fiancée are 18-years-old and plan to marry next year. The left used her pregnancy to criticize Sarah Palin for having an unwed pregnant teenaged daughter, among many other criticisms. There also was much speculation regarding fairly bizarre conspiracy theories that Sarah Palin’s youngest son Trig was actually Bristol Palin’s baby and the family was trying to cover that up. This, of course, flies in the face that they were open about the pregnancy. The criticism was brutal not only to Bristol, but to the rest of the Palin family.

Levi Johnston has dropped out of school and begun work as an apprentice electrician. Bristol is finishing up her high school diploma via an online correspondence program.

Bristol’s great-aunt, Colleen Jones, reported, ‘We think it’s wonderful. The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.’

We wish the Palin family nothing but the best and congratulate them on the arrival of a wonderful new addition to their family.
