Not yet but very soon
I know, I know, Val is already done with the pregnancy and has a beautiful son to show for it. You are not the only ones looking at me like a ticking bomb. Trust me, all my co workers are too. Since Val went into labor a week before her date, people just assume I'm next.
Well, we are almost there. Remember my due date is 10 days after Valerie's original date of October 2nd. I know it can be any day now and my doctor is very confident it will be close to or on schedule. This girl is just like her Mom, aching to get out and heading for the exit since week 36.
So sit tight, relax and keep watching me go Around Town this week. I'll also be there next week, but in studio since I don't want to chance it and end up having to name this baby after the state trooper who helps deliver her on the highway.
My only hope is that Amelia Victoria waits until my parents get here from Puerto Rico this Saturday. I've told her many times, but as all parents know, kids never listen.
Thank you so much for all your well wishes and keep us in your prayers for a good delivery and a healthy baby girl.

Just wanted to wish you all the best, an easy delivery and a very lovely first few moments with you new daughter. I remember when my first daughter was born, the best part (besides having her out after that 700 month pregnancy!) was the first weekend where I just closed off the rest of the world and we got to know each other. I miss that weekend but will remember it forever! Best wishes!

Ana--Good luck.Whenever it happens. Love the name for your little new girl. Like Val, you will be missed while you are on maternity leave. But do enjoy the time off and bonding with your baby.
Hope all goes well in giving birth and your folks make it in time.

Hi Ana,
Your parents will make it, the first baby is often a little late. I wish you and your family the best of luck! When Amelia's born give her a big kiss for all of us viewers who welcome her into the WGN family.

Ana - congratulations to you and your hubby! A girl, huh? What a gorgeous name too! My hubby and I just recently welcomed our first child - a girl too - back in April. You will love every moment and based on what I see when you are around little ones on tv you will be a wonderfully fantastic momma!
