Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered her third child, a baby girl named Mira, on Monday. Mira is the first child born to a Boston mayor while in office. Mayor Wu plans to continue her work without taking parental leave.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu welcomed her third child, a baby girl named Mira, on Monday afternoon. A city spokesperson announced the news on Tuesday morning, revealing that Mira was born at approximately 2 p.m. on Monday, weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. Both Mayor Wu and her newborn are reportedly in good health. Mira's arrival came just a day before Mayor Wu's birthday.
In a statement, the city expressed gratitude to the nurses, doctors, and healthcare staff who made the birth possible, highlighting their ongoing dedication to supporting families across Boston. Mayor Wu was scheduled to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Jamaica Plain on Monday at noon but had to cancel shortly before the event due to her impending delivery. This marks a historic moment for Boston as Mayor Wu becomes the first female mayor and the first to give birth while in office. Although she doesn't plan to take parental leave, she previously championed the successful initiative to grant city workers six weeks of paid parental leave during her tenure as a city councilor. Wu has stated that she will continue to be actively involved in her community, often bringing her children along with her, as she has done with her two sons. She also reaffirmed her commitment to running for reelection, emphasizing that she has successfully managed campaigns after both of her sons' births. Mayor Wu acknowledges the challenges of balancing motherhood with her demanding role, stating that it is a juggling act that many families in the city can relate to and understand
