Vaughn, 35, explained that she was on Capitol Hill covering the IRS for Tax Day when she went for a routine OB appointment. It was there that she learned her son was ready to be born. “Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes — I don’t blame him!” Vaughn quipped. After 30 hours of labor, George made his entrance, with Vaughn humorously adding that Peter took care of their taxes early that year to avoid last-minute stress.

The couple’s daughter, Bridget, 2, was thrilled to welcome her baby brother. “It’s a blessing to see Bridget so excited about George,” Vaughn said. “Growing our family means giving our kids lifelong best friends.” Vaughn also shared the humorous challenges of being a “boy mom,” particularly during diaper changes, which she joked might result in an unintended “baptism.”
Peter, 37, also expressed his joy, noting that Bridget was the closest to guessing when George would be born. He shared that Bridget was the first to sing “Happy Birthday” to George in the hospital. Coincidentally, George’s birth coincided with Peter and Hillary’s four-year wedding anniversary. Peter joked, “Thank you, son, for ensuring I never forget to pick up a card for Hillary when I’m buying yours.”
Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox & Friends, shared a funny anecdote about baby-watch, recounting a moment when a bird smacked Peter on the head during a live report. He also expressed his excitement about spoiling his new grandson. “My job is to spoil them rotten for the rest of their lives,” he said jokingly.
