California Rep. Linda Sanchez gave birth to a boy today, the eighth lawmaker to do so while in office, CNN reports. “Mother and baby are both happy and healthy,” her husband said in a statement. Two other congresswomen have had babies in the past year, the AP notes; Sanchez looked like she would be Congress’ first single mom when she announced her pregnancy in November, the Washington Post adds, but she married last month.
