* From the governor’s office…
Rich,
Remember that time Emily Bittner had a baby and then a pandemic started? Well here’s the good news for you to post!
The Governor’s comms director Emily Bittner and husband Clay Diette of the Chicago Laborers’ District Council are excited to (virtually) introduce the world to Wilhelmina Jean Diette, aka Lily, named after beloved relatives. She came into the world at 7 lbs, 4 oz and she and mom are doing great.
She’s rigorously observing all social distancing recommendations for as long as needed, but she’s very excited to meet everyone in person when the world returns to normal. In the meantime, she appreciates all the well wishes and encourages everyone to do what the governor says.
* Here she is…
Such a cutie.

I think we all needed this today. Thanks for sharing your bundle of joy with us, Diettes.

Congratulations and sincere best wishes. Lily is truly adorable. My best to you and Clay.
Just a glimmer of sunshine brightens more than the light it gives.
We need that light.

She takes after her mom. I see a glint in her eye that says “I want to see the Illinois human service system funded at an appropriate level by my 5th birthday.”

May she lead a long, healthy and happy life. And may this be the only pandemic she ever sees.
