Mother and daughter are doing fine. Martin and her husband also have a young son.

Martin had scheduled a caesarean section for Marlowe’s birth. Her maternity leave from News 8 began Friday. Before she left, she told viewers on “All Indiana” on Thursday, “The last few weeks are crazy. I feel like this whole journey has taken so long. I feel like I have been pregnant forever. I kind of have, for the past three years.”

She also thanked people who’d shared prayers and kind wishes. “We felt them all!” she said Wednesday on Facebook.
