New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was regaining her strength with macaroni and cheese today and planned to spend at least one more night in an Auckland public hospital with her newborn girl.
Ardern yesterday became just the second elected world leader to give birth while holding office. Many hope the 37-year-old will become a role model for combining motherhood with political leadership.
Tributes have come in from around the world, including from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and from Google, which posted an image in the shape of a heart on its New Zealand homepage along with the message "Congratulations!" Ardern posted an Instagram message today thanking "our wonderful midwife Libby."
Ardern has not yet made a public appearance since giving birth or announced a name for the girl. She'd earlier said the quest to come up with a name had been going "terribly."
"The baby was looking up at Jacinda and it looked like she was in awe of her and I couldn't get over how alert it was just after being born," she said. "So, I'm dying to see it and hold her and just see what's she's like."
