EXCLUSIVE: Tammy Duckworth is pregnant; will be 1st senator to give birth
Source: Chicago Sun-Times
WASHINGTON — In the history of the nation, only 10 members of Congress have given birth while in office and Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., is one of them.
Soon Duckworth will be in a class by herself.
Duckworth told me she is expecting her second child, another girl, in late April, a few weeks after she turns 50. The birth will make Duckworth the nation’s first senator to have a baby while serving in the chamber.
The other congressional births have all come while the female lawmakers were serving in the House.

Hope it is a healthy pregnancy and the developing fetus doesn't get too stressed by being exposed to all the negative energy in Congress....
Will be interesting to see how the voters in her state respond....I think its great....
I think this is from her US Senate swearing in. (Yup!)
"Mommy! Put me down!"
