But the 39-year-old Sunrise newsreader admits that she couldn’t wait to get back to work last week – as she was finally able to have a rest!
“Don’t tell my boss but I’m looking forward to having a bit of a break,” Eddy admits to New Idea exclusively with a hearty chuckle.
“It’s a few hours out of the house every day where I don’t have to worry about whose nappy needs changing or who needs to be fed.”
Eddy and husband Neil Varcoe welcomed their son Tom on March 1. They also share an adorable 2-year-old daughter, Molly.
“It’s been wonderful to see the bond develop between them over the last five months,” Eddy says of her two little ones. “Molly is a very doting big sister and hopefully that’s a friendship that’ll last their whole lives.”
At this early age, Eddy can already tell her kids are very different.
“Neil says Molly is just like me – short in stature but tall in personality,” she explains. “Tom is going to be a lot more relaxed and chilled.”
Motherhood has definitely helped prepare Eddy for one requirement of her job.
The Channel Seven breakfast show she has been a part of since 2013 is notorious for its early morning starts – but setting the alarm for 3.30am is a breeze for Eddy.
“Tom has just started sleeping a bit more now, but I’ve gotten used to getting up at 3am,” she admits. “Though I understand why people think I’m crazy to do it voluntarily!”
