Vaughn, who works as a Capitol Hill correspondent for Fox Business, said she was on Capitol Hill reporting on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for Tax Day when she headed to her routine OB-GYN appointment, where she learned that George was “ready to come out,” People first reported.

“Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes. I don’t blame him!” Vaughn told People.

Doocy added that Bridget was excited to sing “Happy Birthday” to her new brother, according to People.

Doocy’s father, “Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy, said he is looking forward to spoiling his grandson, according to People.

“But what I see beyond that is the unconditional love that the kids show to their grandparents and vice versa,” Steve Doocy said. “Little do they know as a grandparent, my job is to spoil them rotten the rest of their lives.”
