While Jenna did not provide specific details about Edward’s birth, it was noted that he was wearing a hat from NYU Langone Health, a detail that highlights the family’s connection to the institution.

Barbara also mentioned Cora’s early vocabulary, revealing that her daughter’s first word was “meow,” followed closely by “no.
” “She’s a totally unreliable narrator,” Barbara quipped, with Jenna chiming in, “She’s already gaslighting her!” This playful exchange highlighted the close bond between the sisters and their shared experiences as mothers.
