The Democratic lawmaker announced the arrival of Maile Pearl Bowlsbey Monday, making Duckworth the first U.S. senator to have a baby while in office.
"Bryan, Abigail and I couldn't be happier to welcome little Maile Pearl as the newest addition to our family and we're deeply honored that our good friend Senator Akaka was able to bless her name for us — his help in naming both of our daughters means he will always be with us," Duckworth said a statement.
