Hello, George!

CBS This Morning Co-Anchor Jane Robelot has given birth to her first child. George Robelot De Carvalho was born one month premature at New York University Medical Center on Sunday and weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces.

Robelot and her husband, Mario De Carvalho, a CBS News cameraman, had gone out for a special dinner the night before, prepared by chef Mina Newman of Layla, a New York City restaurant. Newman and De Carvalho had become friendly while shooting a "Chef on a Shoestring" segment for CBS News Saturday Morning, broadcast earlier that day.

It was during the appetizer that Robelot signaled her husband that it was time to get to the hospital. George was born at 12:32 p.m. EST on Sunday.

Both baby and mother are doing very well. "It must have been the eggplant that I ate," laughs Robelot. "I still can't believe he's here. Mario and I thank God that George is a healthy baby, and we're very excited to take our son home. George's half-sisters, Sara (age 17) and Rita De Carvalho (age 14), of Miami, are thrilled and now they have a little brother to pick on."

Robelot's cameraman husband reportedly filmed their son's birth.
