Roll Call Hill Navigator columnist Rebecca Gale announced Wednesday the arrival of her first son, Ezra Alan Margolies.

Dad, Warren Margolies, emailed to say that Ezra “joined the family at 10:28 this morning, weighing in at a lean and mean 6 pounds, 6 ounces.” Coincidentally, her latest blog item, “Wanting It All,” posted two minutes later.

Gale, who also serves as Roll Call’s op-ed editor, said via email that the little guy was very “punctual,” arriving one day before he was due. (HOH might suggest that seems more like being “fashionably early.”)

Gale, who will continue to offer advice to congressional staffers in her blog while on maternity leave, reports that she and Margolies “both liked the name Ezra and Alan is named for Warren’s grandfather. Next up in young Ezra’s life: his bris next week.” A big first week indeed!
