Facebook Owner Is Expecting Second Daughter
All the “Likes” in the world might not be enough for this news: Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan are going to be parents again!
The Facebook CEO announced Thursday
on the popular social media site that he and his wife, a pediatrician,
are going to welcome a sibling for their 15-month-old daughter Maxima “Max” this year.
“Priscilla
and I are happy to share we’re expecting another baby girl!” the post
reads from Zuckerberg, 32, accompanied by childhood photos of himself and Chan.
“After our difficult experience having Max, we weren’t sure what to
expect or whether we’d be able to have another child. When Priscilla and
I first found out she was pregnant again, our first hope was that the
child would be healthy.”
“My next hope was that it would be a girl,” the post continues. “I cannot think of a greater gift than having a sister and I’m so happy Max and our new child will have each other.”
“I grew up with three sisters and they taught me to learn from smart, strong women,”
Zuckerberg adds.
“They weren’t just my sisters but some of my best
friends. They’ve gone on to write books, excel at performance, music,
sports, cooking and their careers. They showed me how to compete and still laugh together afterwards.”
He continues, “Priscilla grew up with two sisters and they taught her the importance of family, caring for others and
hard work. They supported each other as first generation college
students and in their careers in medicine and business. They have so
many inside jokes — the kind only siblings can understand.”
“We
are all better people because of the strong women in our lives —
sisters, mothers and friends. We can’t wait to welcome our new little
one and do our best to raise another strong woman.”

After our difficult experience having Max, we weren't sure what to expect or whether we'd be able to have another child. When Priscilla and I first found out she was pregnant again, our first hope was that the child would be healthy. My next hope was that it would be a girl. I cannot think of a greater gift than having a sister and I'm so happy Max and our new child will have each other.

Priscilla grew up with two sisters and they taught her the importance of family, caring for others and hard work. They supported each other as first generation college students and in their careers in medicine and business. They have so many inside jokes -- the kind only siblings can understand.
We are all better people because of the strong women in our lives -- sisters, mothers and friends. We can't wait to welcome our new little one and do our best to raise another strong woman.
