Congratulations are in order for Katie Couric!
The former Today show co-host is officially a grandmother. Couric took to Instagram Sunday to reveal her daughter Ellie Dobrosky, 32, had given birth.
Among the details Couric shared was the touching name given to the newborn.
“On Saturday at 8:23 a.m., I officially became a grandmother,” Couric, 67, wrote on her website.
She recalled her son-in-law Mark suggesting everyone get to the hospital around 8:30 a.m. that day, but “by the time we got outside the maternity wing, Mark had sent us a text saying, ‘IT’S A BOY!’”
Couric, her husband, and her daughter Carrie sat in the waiting room anxiously waiting to see Ellie, “like kids on Christmas morning.”
When they were finally allowed to see the new family of three, everyone was thrilled.
