Mary Brucehas a new addition in the works!
“It’s been a wild few months!” says Bruce. “Covering this election, the presidential transition, the insurrection at the Capitol and impeachment, taking on a new role to cover the White House — all while pregnant and in the midst of a pandemic. But we feel so fortunate and grateful that we are healthy and able to grow our family.”
“My son is super excited to be a big brother and to show his sister all his toys. Recently, he’s been telling us all the things he wants to teach her. It’s really sweet,” says Bruce. “We just hope the enthusiasm sticks. He’s even offering name suggestions. Though, I hate to break it to him, we’re probably not going to name her ‘Eric,’ after my son’s favorite neighbor.”

Compared to her first pregnancy, Bruce says things are “definitely different” this time around.
She admits she anticipated a “challenge” covering the 2020 Election while in the early weeks of a pregnancy. However, the unprecedented events that followed made things more complicated.
“Never did I imagine I would be spending a full week in a Delaware parking lot with the Biden campaign reporting around the clock on every twist and turn as results came in (all without any coffee!),” she says. “I’m sure the team knew something was up. It’s tough to keep this kind of personal news a secret, but luckily it was a busy first trimester.”
The journalist says she and her husband “always knew” they wanted another child, and it “just felt like the right time.”
