Dreyer, who has reported forTodayon weekends for nearly a decade, got a proper sendoff Saturday with a sweet video montage looking back at her time onWeekendToday.
“You know, I’m just watching that and looking back — I started in September in 2012 and I got married in October, so in the time I’ve been onWeekendToday, I’ve gotten married and I’ve had three sons,” she said after seeing the montage.
Dreyer added, “It really is incredible just to look back and think of the things I’ve been through, and not to mention everything I’ve done on the show.”

While the fill-in anchor insisted, “I really don’t want to step away,” she admitted, “I just don’t think I can do six days a week anymore. The boys certainly keep me busy.”
Dreyer shares three sons with husbandBrian Fichera: Calvin Bradley, 5; Oliver George, 2; andRussell James, four months.
She added, “It’s all about family time. This job can get crazy especially when we’re traveling and we’re busy, but it’s so important to make time for family, too.”
“These boys are my whole life and Brian and I, we love being a team on weekends and spending as much time as we can with them and having as much fun as we can,” Dreyer continued. “That’s really all I’m going to be doing, just sitting at home and just loving up on those three.”

Dreyer previouslyopened upabout her concerns returning to work after welcoming her youngest son in an October interview withMSNBC’s ‘Know Your Value.’
“When I go back, if things are sort of getting back to normal, I’ll probably go back to traveling again. That’s what I’m most worried about — just traveling and pumping and being on the road and leaving three kids at home,” she said. “I’m kind of terrified about it.”
“I’m showing the boys that you work hard to get the things you want,” she added.
