Another CNN baby on the way


NewsRoom anchor Heidi Collins announced on Friday that she will shortly be going out on maternity leave. As you may know, Heidi has celiac disease, and because of potential complications from that as well as a blood clot she had about ten years ago, she and her husband were advised by doctors to have a surrogate carry the baby, who is due any day now. Heidi discussed her family's situation with Elizabeth Cohen:

Everyone at ATC wishes Heidi and her (extended) family the very best at this blessed time!

    That's great news for Heidi and her family.
    AC fans will be indebted to Heidi for coining the term 'naughty chair'. She brought her kid's naughty chair in as a prop for her story and the phrase took on a life of its own.

    Congrats to Heidi and her family. This is such exciting news. We will definatly miss Heidi in the mornings but I am sure she won't be gone too long. Can't wait to see pictures of those Collins brothers.

    There must be something in the CNN water :)

    Congratulations to Heidi and her family. I bet they can't wait for the newest member of their family.

    Does anyone have the video of Heidi bringing the chair on as a prop. It has been so long since I have seen that story. It was a classic 360 moment.

    I am sure that they have had the baby by now, but have not heard anything about it? I hope and pray that all turned out okay.
