Her twin girls arrive just a little over a week after Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's baby, Max, was born [3]. Mayer's initial announcement of her pregnancy and decision to take "limited time away" prompted widespread debate [4] about maternity leave.

It's unclear just how much time Mayer will take for maternity leave, but whatever she decides to do, congrats all around!
