“I didn’t realize this until now, but I’ve been training for motherhood my entire career by trying to get lawmakers on Capitol Hill to respond to my questions. This job isn’t much different,” Vaughn told People magazine.
Vaughn said her water broke when she was on her way to work at Capitol Hill, which she was “prepared” for. She said she knew where to find senators who used to be doctors, and that Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), who was a doctor in Wyoming, told her to reach out if she needs anything.
Doocy said that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre joked with him about what he should name his baby last month, joking that he could name her “Karine.”
“During a briefing last month, the press secretary gave me permission to name the baby Karine and I joked we were considering naming the baby after the president: ‘Joe-sephine.’ But we can report here for the first time her name is Bridget Blake Doocy,” he told People.
“Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy also announced the birth of his first granddaughter on Thursday’s show, saying that he is “so proud.” He said he and his wife Kathy Doocy are ready to help out with the baby so that the new parents can get out of the house.

The photos show the first-time parents embracing their little bundle of joy, dressed in a pink onesie with her name embroidered on the front.
Doocy revealed how he asked President Joe Biden for parenting tips, to which the nation’s leader responded: “Hold her tight.”
“Meet Bridget Blake Doocy! Asked @JoeBiden for tips about being a new dad, at the WH holiday reception. His advice: “hold her tight.” Will do!” the new dad said on Twitter.
Little Bridget was born in northern Virginia, weighing eight pounds, one ounce.
“I didn’t realize this until now, but I’ve been training for motherhood my entire career by trying to get lawmakers on Capitol Hill to respond to my questions. This job isn’t much different,” Vaughn told People.
“‘Baby Bridget – can you give us a comment? Are you hungry or gassy, or both?’ Trying to get an on-the-record answer is tough!”
The new mom revealed to the magazine that her water broke while she was on her way to Capitol Hill.
“I knew where all the offices were for senators who used to be doctors,” she shared.
“Sen. Barrasso (Wyoming physician of the year) saw me the day before I went into labor and told me to reach out if I ever needed anything. Luckily, I didn’t have to call him to catch the baby!
“I’ve only been a mom for one week, but it’s already the best assignment I’ve ever had. She’s stolen the show!”
Doocy joked about some of the name suggestions he got from White House staff while covering press briefings ahead of his daughter’s birth.
“During a briefing last month, the Press Secretary gave me permission to name the baby Karine, and I joked we were considering naming the baby after the President: ‘Joe-sephine.’ But we can report here for the first time her name is Bridget Blake Doocy,” he told People.
The White House correspondent and his wife, a fellow Fox Business reporter in her own right, announced they were expecting a child live during a cooking segment last September.
Doocy’s father, Steve, was on-air for the segment, during which he shared a recipe from The Simply Happy Cookbook.
The co-hosts and anchors were gathered to try the Iowa Caucus Casserole, inspired by Doocy’s work as a White House correspondent.
“This food is particularly good if you are really hungry, and Hillary is hungry all of the time,” Steve said.
“That’s because I’m eating for two,” Vaughn said before she and her husband announced they were having a baby.
Steve congratulated his son and daughter-in-law, telling People, “When I wrote a book on fatherhood, I highlighted a famous quote that, ‘There are three stages of a man’s life: he believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.’ Peter, congratulations, you just made it to fatherhood’s third round.”
Doocy and Vaughn tied the knot in a small ceremony in South Carolina in 2021.
His best man was his father, who shared photos of his son’s wedding on Fox & Friends, where he serves as co-host.
Steve works alongside Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade, and others on Fox & Friends, which airs weekdays from 6am to 9am.
Little Bridget is the third Fox News baby born over the past few months.
Fox & Friends First co-host Carley Shimkus and her husband, Peter Buchignani, welcomed the birth of their baby boy, Brock Edward, last week.
Meanwhile, Fox News anchor Kayleigh McEnany and her husband, former New York Mets pitcher Sean Gilmartin, welcomed their second child, baby Nash, last December.
