Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are expecting their second daughter. The founder of Facebook made the announcement as one might expect, on his social media platform. In the post Zuckerberg praised his and Chan’s sisters and shared photos from both of their childhoods. A snippet from the post: “Priscilla and I are happy to share we’re expecting another baby girl! 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. I grew up with three sisters and they taught me to learn from smart, strong women. They weren’t just my sisters but some of my best friends. 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.”
