Meghan McCain has welcomed her first child with husband Ben Domenech.
The View's 35-year-old co-host has named their baby girl Liberty Sage McCain Domenech and, according to her rep, both mother and daughter are "happy and healthy".
The safe arrival of their first born comes two weeks after Meghan had updated her fans with a due date for her pregnancy.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: "2.5 weeks until my due date and trying to keep myself looking as stylish as humanly possible while feeling like shamu."
It looks like her daughter saw the due date as a challenged and managed to knock off a few days from her predicted arrival date.
Meghan had revealed she was pregnant in an Instagram post in March, in which she also said that she would be protecting her newborn from the vitriol on social media.
She said that there are still trolls who leave nasty messages directed at her late father, Senator John McCain.
Meghan wrote in May: "People keep asking and requesting I show pics & details of my pregnancy.
"Given that people write on photos I put up of my family they are glad my Dad got cancer and he's in hell, I thought I would leave my unborn child out of the social media cesspool as much as is possible."
She continued in a lengthy Instagram caption, saying she and her husband "have made the conscious decision to guard our (growing) families privacy as much as is possible."
Meghan added: "I believe children have a right to privacy and hope you will all understand as we navigate this as much as possible going forward without sacrificing our comfort or safety."
Meghan said during her return to The View in March that Whoopi Goldberg had predicted her pregnancy and also that she would have a girl.
She said: "Whoopi told me like a year ago that I was going to have a child and she told me the gender - and you were 100 percent right.
"This doesn't help my feeling that you have psychic abilities that I always thought you had.
"I told my mother, ‘Whoopi was right about everything including the timing.’"
Last month the Daytime Emmy nominee told fans that the preparation for her new arrival had reached the "the nesting phase of pregnancy" and that it "is NO joke."
She wrote on Instagram: "Pray for my husband and the amount of boxes he's had to open in the past few weeks ... "
