“I have a little bun in the oven, as I like to say,” she said. “It’s been a pretty easy pregnancy so far.”
Her co-hosts surprised Bila with a visit from her husband during the announcement, where he came out with flowers and balloons. Bila called him “the best daddy.”
“We were very surprised,” Bila shared on the show. “I’m not super young, and I thought it would take a while … I think it took us about 15 minutes.”
Bila described her husband as a “born dad” and a “soccer dad,” adding, “He’s the best.”
Bila also said onFox & Friendsthat she’ll be deferring to her coworkers with children for advice.
“I have a long list of amazing ladies at Fox News that have had babies that I can go ask for help,” she explained. “I’m going to ringAinsley [Earhardt]when I get out of here.”
Bila also crowd-sourced advice from her Instagram followers for tips on what to expect when her son arrived.
“Please comment with any labor/delivery tips, I’ll need all the help I can get!” she captioned a photo one week before Hartley’s birth.
Bila said she was looking to her mom, Solange, for inspiration since she gave her a unique name with Jedediah.
The Emmy nomineetoldParadein August that she “wasn’t sure whether [pregnancy] would happen” for her.
“There was a little voice in the back of my head saying, ‘You’re 40, not 20,’ ” she told the outlet. “But I’m being honest when I say that I was really okay with whatever life brought us.”
