“I said, ‘Mommy and Daddy have to leave, but you’re gonnacome to the hospital and meetOliver today,’ " she recalled. “He had his shoes on and his jacket on. He was so ready to come! And then he walks in with this huge smile on his face. He sits on my lap and he looks at Oliver and he asks to hold him right away. It was perfect.”
As for spreading heraffection between two children, Dreyer said “everything just clicked” even though she initially wondered, " ‘How do you find the love for another child?’ ‘Cause you love the first one so much.”
“Now, it feels complete. The four of us … everything about it just feels right,” she added. “There was no adjustment period. It’s like, ‘Oh yeah, this is us. This is our family.’ "

Dreyer’spregnancy announcement(and big reveal that the couple wasexpecting their second son) came in July, on the heels of sharing in April that she had suffered a miscarriage over the winter. The loss followed a struggle with trying to conceive for six months before being referred to a specialist.
The couple was ready to turn to in vitro fertilization to help conceive a sibling for Calvin when they got an unexpected — yet exciting — call from their doctor.
“I was just waiting for the phone call from Dr. Reichman, to tell me how much of each drug to use,” Dreyer recalled to PEOPLE at the time of herplanned ovarian-stimulation cycle. “Instead, when he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock. We couldn’t believe it!”
The meteorologist also said it was “killing” her not to tell herTodaycostarJenna Bush Hagerabout her pregnancy (the former first daughter coincidentally announced she wasexpecting her third childthe same day as Dreyer’s discussion about hermiscarriage and secondary infertility).

“It was a shock and a different kind of surprise because I knew I was going somewhere dressed up for a holiday promo shoot,” she said of the Dec. 2 bash, which was held atFishbowlsports lounge in New York City.
“I knew I was going to see everybody I work with, but when I walked in [and] there was this tunnel of people waiting for me to walk through the door and the camera lights were there, I was like, ‘What is going on?’ " she recalled of the sweet event. “It took a minute for it to register. Then I’m like, ‘Ohmy gosh, this is all for me. This is so, so special.’ "
