1. Chelsea's baby girl is happy news. But was she born

on the 26th or the 27th of September?

Not clear from the news reports.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

3. The FB post was about 40 minutes ago.

But I don't know how long between the birth and the post.

5. Looks like it must have been Friday, the 26th, according to the first link I found:

http://celebritybabies.people.com/2014/09/27/chelsea-clinton-welcomes-daughter-charlotte/

The former First Daughter and global activist, 34, and husband Marc Mezvinsky welcomed their first child, a daughter, on Friday, Sept. 26, she announced via Twitter.

8. Okay! And I'm presuming the child was born in NYC. And weight?

Not much detail given as yet.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I did a search and all the sources said the exact same thing

I imagine that they put out some kind of statement. I did think it was odd, though, that no one but "People" thought it was important to specify the date. Since it's the Clintons, I imagine that this is big enough news that we'll be hearing more details before very long. In fact, we'll probably be hearing the latest updates from every news outlet possible...

4. Congratulations to the whole family!

6. Sleep now. not gonna sleep much for the next six months.

I want another kid.

[elleng]

7. Make that, 60 years!

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. Word.

(Twins!)

10. Congratulations to Chelsea and Marc on the birth of Charlotte!!!

Also congratulations to both sets of grandparents. Babies are such a joy.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

12. I love the name "Charlotte."

It was a great choice. And the first and middle initials, CC, would be a cool nickname.

[Archae]

29. My calico cat is named "Charlotte"

She's 5 years old now.

And still a kitten.

[Beacool]

42. It's a good name.

[Beacool]

41. Me too.

It's a classy and elegant name. It's also a "normal" name, not a ridiculous moniker like "Apple" or "North West".

[WhiteAndNerdy]

60. I agree with you about weird names. nt

[FrodosPet]

14. Absolutely!

The birth of my niece has helped me learn to love life again.



Congratulations to the parents and rest of the family.

52. Interesting fact about the grandparents

Three of them were in Congress, and the fourth one was President. I doubt you'd find many people in the US who could say that about their grandparents.

[Beacool]

58. True.

There's also the chance that one of the grandparents could become our next president. That would be a first.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Whoa!

Congratulations, Clintons!!!

[Arthur_Frain]

15. Seriously, why do I care?

No really! Why should I be excited that there is another "Clintonite" joining the human race? Good for her she had a healthy baby, but this should NOT be newsworthy, in any way shape or form.

[No Vested Interest]

16. Arthur, many of us watched Chelsea grow up, from a youngster

with braces to an intelligent, competent, beautiful young woman.

We saw her with her parents at her father's inauguration, and we saw her holding both her parents' hands, walking between them when their marriage was going through an especially difficult time, as though she was holding the marriage together.

Her parents did a wonderful job of raising her, in the spotlight of publicity and press, and she remained unspoiled throughout.
Bottom line, Arthur, we hold Chelsea in high regard and wish her, her baby and family, all the best.

It's your prerogative to not care, but the news of her baby is of interest and newsworthy to many.

[montana_hazeleyes]

17. Great post !

And may I add my congrats to the families.

[yardwork]

38. Ok, that made me cry.

I'll never forget that photo.

Thank you for that beautiful post.

[LibGranny]

45. Thank you! My sentiments exactly as to Arthur and his post!

He must be a republican!

[WhiteAndNerdy]

18. Hmm.

You do know that you're not required to click on every single thread on DU, right? If something doesn't interest you, move along and find something that does. It's not very realistic to expect every single topic discussed on a site as large as DU to be one that you personally will find interesting.

46. ^ THIS ^

[Lil Missy]

26. The Clintons are news, whether you like them or not. Get over it. n/t

[MFM008]

37. oh come on

She was first daughter and may be first daughter again soon.
Congrats.

[Beacool]

43. And yet you felt compelled to post your crass comment.

Grow some class...........

[awoke_in_2003]

48. well,

you care enough to click on the thread and post.

[daschess1987]

19. Hardcore congratulations to the Clinton family!

I've been way protective of Chelsea since that bastard Rush tried to make her a target, and she sure turned out to be a fine young woman. Best wishes to them all.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. Who the fuck cares?

Well I do, since I clicked on the thread.

Best of luck to her and her new baby!

[WhiteAndNerdy]

21. Haha!

I saw your subject line and thought, "WTF, there's another one!"

[daschess1987]

22. Damn it, fellow drunkard...

Wouldn't it trip out everybody if Chelsea ran instead of Hillary? WTF kind of ads could the Koch dicks run against her? Her dad got a blow job--which, lets face it, are fun (from what I've heard). Chelsea/Bernie 2016!

[nikto]

23. Congratulations!

And the world gains another little fund-manager.

[stonecutter357]

24. K&R

[Hekate]

25. Mazel Tov! Every year her b'day will fall on or close to Rosh Ha Shana.

We all got to watch Chelsea grow up, but from an appropriate zone of privacy. One thing Bill and Hillary did beautifully was to protect their child from the media dogs.

>sigh< Being a grandparent is one of life's greatest joys. Congratulations and blessings to the whole family.

50. Not necessairly.

Our calendar is lunar, so sometimes, the dates will be weeks apart. In 2016, it will be October 2nd!

ETA: Yeah, I guess one can say it will always be close, give a week or two.

[Hekate]

59. My b'day is today, & ever since my husband came into my life I'm reminded of the Jewish holidays

...on a regular basis. I like lunar.

Our 27th anniversary is a week from today as well.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

61. Happy birthday!

My granny was born on Nov. 23, so some years her birthday fell on Thanksgiving. It was kind of cool.

[Behind the Aegis]

63. Happy Birthday!

[Beacool]

67. Happy (belated) Birthday!!!

I hope that you had a wonderful day.

[Scuba]

27. Tonight on Fox "News": Why Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky is not qualified to be President in 2070.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

28. I wouldn't be surprised in the least. nt

[ctsnowman]

35. lol Love it.

And on CNN will she run?

[Earth_First]

30. Charlotte '64... nt

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Congrats to Chelsea & Marc & welcome baby Charlotte

Best wishes! Now the "fun" (sleepless nights) begins.

[msanthrope]

32. What wonderful news! nt

[mikehiggins]

33. Obviously

a blatant attempt to distract from BENGHAZI.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

62. That's hilarious! nt

[Nye Bevan]

34. Wouldn't it be great if someday she married Prince George?

Two Royal Families of two great nations, united by matrimony.

[tularetom]

54. I hope you just forgot the little "sarcasm" thing

There is no "Royal Family" in America although a lot of Americans apparently wish there were.

[Gothmog]

39. Mazel Tov

[NYC_SKP]

40. OMG, pass the Kleenex, let's plan for the coronation!!!!!

.....

[Beacool]

44. Tsk, tsk.

I expect better from you..........

[JDPriestly]

47. Congratulations to the whole family! Peace and joy.

[awoke_in_2003]

49. I bet that Bill will dote on her...

as much as I do my 11 month old granddaughter. Grandkids are the best, and make getting older worth while.

[Behind the Aegis]

51. Mavel Tov to the entire family.

I am sure the new grandparents are thrilled.

[candelista]

53. When she grows up, they can run her for President.

Actually, they could start doing it now. In 35 years, there could be another dynastic succession, like we had with Dubya.

[blkmusclmachine]

55. And Chelsea's husband is from Goldman Sachs, yes?

[nikto]

68. It just makes people happy...

When good things happen to America's elites.




With that criteria, there's reason to be happy all the time.

[amandabeech]

56. Nice photos.

Best wishes to Chelsea and Marc, and to grandparents Clinton and Mezvinsky.

[cpwm17]

57. Ouch!!!

[RussBLib]

64. I'm going to do my best to stop reading or listening to the haters on the right

They hate everything and anything Obama or the Clintons or anyone on the left does. That also goes for some on the left. Some of the "democrats" on this site can be quite tiresome too.

[nikto]

69. Obama and The Clintons are not "on the left"

But I fully understand the desire to settle for what we get, and label it falsely,
to gratify ourselves.

That's just human.


Frankly, I've caught myself doing that too.







But I find myself doing it less and less as time passes.

[CTyankee]

65. I was hoping for a girl! I thought it would be "fitting." I'm so happy for the family...

I'd love to see a pic of the little one's face. I wonder who she resembles...

[snooper2]

66. Sweet she can run against my daughter in the primaries in 52 years

She has four years on her but I'm not going to let her go easy on any Clinton LOL
