It’s a girl!

Congratulations to Harold Ford Jr. and his lovely wife Emily, who just gave birth to their first child, Georgia Walker Ford. She weighed in at 5 pounds, 10 ounces Sunday at 10:55 a.m. at New York-Presbyterian. A friend of former Tennessee ­congressman, banker and MSNBC contributor Ford tells us: “Like her mom, Georgia is healthy and strong. They are resting comfortably and look ­forward to being home to ­celebrate their first family Christmas.” Georgia is the first grandchild for Harold’s father, former Rep. Harold Ford Sr., and mother Dorothy Bowles Ford. Her name has a special family meaning: Harold’s great-grandmother was also Georgia, and Emily’s mom’s maiden name is Walker.
