Yes, congratulations are in order for the Vance family this morning. 
The vice president and second lady Usha Vance welcoming their fourth child, a little baby boy named Alec Neil Vance. 
President Trump posting this photo, the first photo of baby Alec on social media this morning. 
There he is being held by big brother VC and alongside big sister Mirabel. 
The couple announced the birth on Sunday saying both mother and baby are happy and healthy and that their three older children are overjoyed to meet their new little brother. 
The Vance has also thanked doctors and staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit for all of their care and support. 
And this is a historic moment. 
Alec is now the first baby born to a sitting US vice president in 150 years. 
We went back and checked. 
You have to go all the way back to 1870 when Vice President Skyler Kfax welcomed a son in office. 
So, our congrats to the Vances this
