She has been away from the anchor desk for the past couple of days, busy soaking in motherhood. Mendez first announced that she and her husband, Ryan, were expecting a baby girl on air back in June, when she revealed she named her daughter after her grandmother, who died from ovarian cancer, as well as Ryan’s grandmother.

“We’re just so excited to share that our team here is growing by one,” Mendez said back in June.
