AceShowbiz - Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are expecting their second child together. The Facebook CEO has announced on the popular social media site that he and his pediatrician wife are going to welcome "another baby girl," who will be joining their 15-month-old daughter Maxima "Max".
"Priscilla and I are happy to share we're expecting another baby girl!" so reads the post from Mark. Accompanied by several childhood photos of himself and Priscilla, the post continues, "After our difficult experience having Max, we weren't sure what to expect or whether we'd be able to have another child."
The couple previously revealed that they had been trying to conceive for a couple of years and Priscilla had experienced three miscarriages before finally becoming pregnant with Max. Mark says in his post, "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," Mark 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."
Mark also reveals that he grew up with three sisters who taught him how to "learn from smart, strong women." "They weren't just my sisters but some of my best friends," the 32-year-old says. "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," he adds, concluding, "We can't wait to welcome our new little one and do our best to raise another strong woman."
