Marc and I are full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky.

Bill has long said that his wife was more interested in grandchildren than the presidency.
“I would like to have a happy wife, and she won’t be unless she’s a grandmother. It’s something she wants more than she wanted to be president,” Bill said during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2011.
Now, that Chelsea has shared her big news, hopefully it will give Hillary the chance to share hers. (USA Today )
