Guthrie shared the baby news on the morning program Tuesday, saying, “Mike and I are so excited. We are expecting a baby in December.”

Later on in the program, Guthrie revealed that due to her pregnancy, she had made the decision to nix her plans to travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazel to cover the Summer Olympics. Over the concerns about the Zika virus and how it could effect the health of her unborn child, Guthrie will be staying home in August.

“I’m not going to be able to go to Rio, so you’ll have to go to beach volleyball without me,” she said. “I’m looking forward to the campaign season.”

 

Guthrie had been scheduled to join Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira in covering the Opening Ceremony of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Brazil for NBC.

Guthrie, who has 2-year-old daughter Vale with Feldman, released a statement on welcoming their second child on the Today website.

“It’s hard for words to contain all the excitement Mike and I have about expecting a new baby in December. When Vale was born, our happiness was complete. The thought of getting to add to our family now is beyond every hope, dream and prayer I have ever had. It is not simply double the joy — it is joy multiplied infinitely.

It hasn’t even been quite two years since Vale was born, but like a lot of mothers, I find myself worrying and wondering whether I will still know what to do. I hope I remember how to swaddle! I hope I still have the talent to coax out that little baby burp. I hope I still have the energy and stamina to be up at all hours of the night (and day) for weeks on end.

But there’s one thing I haven’t forgotten: what it feels like the first time to set eyes on a newborn baby. I remember how those first tears I cried felt like a release from somewhere deep, deep in my soul that I never knew existed. I remember the surge of adrenaline and sleep-deprived giddiness.

I remember how she smelled, her silky hair, her sweet little whimpers and how her teensy tiny frame felt so gloriously heavy across my chest. I remember the feeling of profound gratitude and blessedness. Now, thanks to God, we are getting that beautiful opportunity again.

We will pray every moment for a healthy, happy baby and feel so thankful to have this chance to add to our family.”
