JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, Houston–Astronaut Randy Bresnik carried out a spacewalk Saturday awaiting word of the birth of his second child. Responding to a wake-up call from Houston early Sunday, he delivered the news that his wife, Rebecca, had given birth, saying “good morning, Houston. Good morning, Rebecca, good morning, Wyatt, and good morning to our little girl.”

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to report some good news,” he said later in the morning. “At 11:04 last night, Abigail Mae Bresnik joined the NASA family and momma and baby are doing very well. I’m very thankful for everyone…that’s been so supportive and so helpful the last couple of days with everything that’s been going on.”

Rebecca and Randy Bresnik discussed the pending birth of their daughter in a pre-flight NASA interview.
