User Reviews

Reference the baby.

The first pregnancy ended without comment. After the second one, there was one episode (when Mac's sister got married) where Mac's mother asked how the baby was doing and Mac said "fine" and then she asked whether it was a girl or boy and Mac said "a boy". Later in the episode at a restaurant, Mac said that Sally had to stay home to take care of the baby. That was it. It was never heard or shown or mentioned again.
