It's A Baby For CT Television News Reporter

The little bundle of joy was born last week.

It's a girl for WFSB-TV's Consumer Investigative Reporter Cassidy Williams.

The little bundle of joy, named Valerie Marie, was born last week, Williams announced over the weekend on Facebook.

"I woke up Thursday planning to go to work, but soon realized baby girl had other plans," Williams wrote. "She was born early Friday morning, and we are now happy, healthy and home."
