Rep. Tammy Duckworth gives birth to daughter [View all]

Rep. Tammy Duckworth, who won a second term in the U.S. House two weeks ago, gave birth Tuesday to a daughter: Abigail O'kalani Bowlsbey.

The child's arrival, announced by the lawmaker's office Thursday, came a few weeks before her due date.

"My husband Bryan and I are thrilled to announce that we are the proud parents of a baby girl," Duckworth said in a statement. "Abigail O'kalani Bowlsbey was born on Nov. 18. Bryan and I were deeply honored that Senator Akaka acted as Hawaiian elder and selected her middle name."
