Congratulations to new mother,
Chelsea Clinton, and new father,
Marc Mezvinsky, who welcomed Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky into the world, and into our hearts September 26, 2014.
Many of us watched Chelsea grow up into a strong, progressive, and beautiful woman. Our former First Daughter has made us nothing but proud, and if you're old enough, you might even feel like Charlotte is your own granddaughter, as well.
Two of her real grandparents, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, seem to be pretty over the top with joy as well. They tweeted out their first pictures with Charlotte on Saturday, as any proud grandparents would do, and they look very happy.
And from Chelsea:
Boston.com reports:
Clinton has been eager to become a grandfather. During an event with former President George W. Bush in September, Clinton’s cellphone rang on stage and he joked that only two people had the number ‘‘and they are related to me,’’ musing that he hoped he wasn’t becoming ‘‘a premature grandfather.’’
‘‘Every day I get up and I say, ‘You have to remember whose child this is. Do not interfere. Be there when you are welcome. Be loving but not judgmental,’’ Clinton said to laughs in an interview with CNN at his annual Clinton Global Initiative, only days before the baby’s arrival.
The 34-year-old Chelsea Clinton said in an interview with Glamour magazine last year that she and her husband had hoped to make 2014 ‘‘the year of the baby.’’ She announced her pregnancy in April at the end of a forum in New York on female empowerment.
‘‘I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me,’’ she said at the time.
I think Chelsea will be a wonderful mother.
