Facebook’s director of corporate communications Brandee Barker is on maternity leave until mid-October.

“I’m expecting a boy, my first and a welcome diversion after nearly four years of PR at Facebook!” Barker told PRNewser today.

Don’t worry, reporters. The Facebook PR team will be picking up the slack. “There are a number of people that will be assisting in her coverage while she is away,” a Facebook spokesperson told PRNewser.
