The Committee Extends A Heartfelt Congratulations to the Wu-Pewarski Family!

Blaise and Cass have a new sister, and we're thrilled. On Tuesday, January 14th at 2 p.m., Mayor Michelle Wu gave birth to her third child, a girl that she and husband Conor Pewarski named Mira. Weighing in at 8 lbs., 4 oz., she arrived one day before the mayor's birthday. Both are doing fine.

"Mayor Wu wishes to express her deepest gratitude to the nurses, doctors, and healthcare staff who made this possible for her family, and who work everyday to support so many families across the city, " a statement from the city said.

She is the first woman to be elected mayor of Boston, and to deliver a child while in office. While Wu has no plans to take parental leave, she did, as a city councilor, lead the successful push for city workers to get six weeks of paid leave. In the months ahead, we'll likely see the mayor patting Mira on her shoulder, while giving speeches and attending to other official duties. She has been clear about her plans to be present in the city. When her two boys were young, Wu took them along for the ride.
