First Alert Meteorologist Lauren Whitney Returns From Maternity Leave This Week

(CBS4) - First Alert Meteorologist Lauren Whitney returns to CBS4's airwaves from maternity leave this week. She says the past five months have flown by -- it's been a whirlwind, but she's loved every single second.

CBS4's Karen Leigh recently visited Lauren at her home and asked her what it's like to be a mother.

"It's been a fun adventure every day," she said. "(My daughter) wakes up and I swear she grows overnight. She's getting so big and so fun and so playful. Seeing her grow and being this tiny little human we have -- we love her so much."

Lauren says to become a parent is to discover a love "you don't know it until it happens to you ... that this little thing is going to change your whole life."

Lauren Whitney will be back covering the weather on CBS4 newscasts starting Wednesday evening.
