The grandparents of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton's newborn girl are bursting with pride.
In a statement released Saturday, President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton said they are "blessed, grateful and so happy to be the grandparents of a beautiful girl," named Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky.
"We are thrilled to be with our daughter and her husband as they welcome their daughter into the world," the statement read. "Chelsea is well and glowing. Marc is bursting with pride. Charlotte's life is off to a good start."
Chelsea Clinton, 34, and her husband Marc Mezvinsky, 36, happily announced the birth of their healthy baby girl to the world just after midnight Saturday.
“Marc and I are full of love, awe and gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky,” the contented new mom wrote on her Twitter feed.
Twitter The birth was timely for grandparents Bill and Hillary Clinton, who both shared the joyous news on their own Twitter accounts.
Twitter Bill and Hillary had both joked they were on 'babywatch' the whole time — and hoped the gridlock caused by the United Nations summit wouldn’t cause problems for their expectant daughter if she went into labor.

A Clinton spokesman said Charlotte was born earlier Friday. The new bundle of joy was born at Lenox Hill Hospital. Further details weren’t immediately available.
The birth was timely for grandparents Bill and Hillary Clinton, who both shared the joyous news on their own Twitter accounts. The former president canceled a fundraising appearance in Denver Saturday with Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), the Associated Press reported.
Bill beamed as he walked down the steps of the hospital with a suitcase in tow Saturday night. He did not say anything but gave a big smile and a friendly wave before entering a GMC van, wearing a gray sport coat, jeans and Nikes. Hillary was wearing a gray sweater, beads and black leggings, while a woman behind her carried another suitcase.
Along with media maven Katie Couric and designer Vera Wang, those who offered best wishes to the happy couple included the Rev. Al Sharpton, who said he sent an email to Chelsea congratulating her.
"I've known Chelsea since they were in the White House," Sharpton said Saturday, adding he's not friends with the former First Daughter but knows her from his gig on MSNBC and her short-lived tenure at the parent company. "I'm happy for her. I wish her and the baby well."
The Clinton family had just wrapped up the annual Clinton Global Initiative in Manhattan this week.
Bill and Hillary had both joked they were on “babywatch” the whole time — and hoped the gridlock caused by the United Nations summit wouldn’t cause problems for their expectant daughter if she went into labor.
Chelsea and husband Marc had kept the baby’s gender a secret from everybody — including themselves. They announced the pregnancy in April.
Congratulations poured for the young couple — with one fan already dubbing Charlotte the future first granddaughter.
“Charlotte will be 2 years old when Hillary Clinton wins the presidency in 2016!!” tweeted Brian Joel in North Carolina.
