Reflecting on motherhood in 2022, Dylan told herTodaycolleagues thatshe feels “so complete”with her boys. Shortly after, the meteorologist announced thatshe would be stepping awayfrom appearing onWeekend Todayto spend more time with her husband and children.

“It’s all about family time,”she saidon the air. “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.”

Here’s everything to know about Dylan Dreyer’s kids: Calvin, Oliver and Russell.

Dylan and Brian welcomed their first child, son Calvin Bradley Fichera, on Dec. 17, 2016.

Dylan told PEOPLE in May 2023 that she was “grateful” for the news because it’s a manageable condition that wasn’t anything more serious. While adjusting the family’s daily routine to account for Calvin’s celiac disease, Dylan approached it with positivity.

“It’s a life change and my goal is to make sure Calvin sees it as no big deal,” she said. “Calvin really loves food, and he’s willing to try stuff.”

Since then, he has joined his momonTodayfor his own segment “Cooking with Cal,” in which they try out gluten-free recipes.

“How are you 8???? I remember the day you were born…I never thought I’d be a good mom,” she wrote. “Now I’m making homemade layer cakes … It’s what Cal wanted and I will give these boys the world.”

Dylan and Brian welcomed their sonOliver George Ficheraon Jan. 2, 2020.

The coupleannounced the pregnancyin July 2019, three months after Dylan publicly shared she hadexperienced a miscarriagethat winter. After trying to conceive for six months, they were preparing to begin in vitro fertilization when they received happy news from their doctor.

“When he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock. We couldn’t believe it!” Dylan told PEOPLE at the time.

Prior to Oliver’s birth, the mom expressed her immense gratitude forwelcoming a second child.

Dylan continued, “So every night I pray and thank God for putting us in this situation and giving us this opportunity and not having to struggle any longer than we did.”

As for their son’s moniker, she admitted to herTodaycolleagues that “there’s no significance” behind the name Oliver. However, the namesake jumped out to her and Brian during a work trip to London.

They initially just “liked the name,” but then “everybody we were around was either named Oliver [or we saw it elsewhere],” Dylan recalled. “There were just all these signs, and we were like, ‘Yeah, I think Oliver’s it.’ ”

In a funnyInstagramvideo, Dylan captured Oliver dropping the “R” in the word “color.” When she tried to correct him, Oliver doubled down on his pronunciation, saying, “No, col-uh."

With their third child, the pair wanted topass on a family moniker: Russell is named after Brian’s father, and his middle name, James, is a nod to Dylan’s father.

“We finally worked in a family connection. Both our dads started crying when we told them,” Dylan revealed during a virtual appearance on theTodayshow. “It’s just been really special.”

After welcoming Russell, Dylan admitted she was “terrified” and felt “guilt” about returning to work, but her husband helped shift her perspective.
