Reflecting on motherhood in February 2024, Savannah told PEOPLE she felt “so delighted and overjoyed” for her “blessings.”

“I’ll never get over it,” she said of being a mom. “I got to have babies long past the time that anyone would really be hopeful, [and] I had long given up hope.” (Savannah gave birth to Vale when she was 42 years old and welcomed Charley afterundergoing rounds of in-vitro fertilizationat the age of 44.)

One of her favorite parts about being Vale and Charley’s mother is watching them come “into their own personalities.”

Savannah and Michael welcomed their first child, daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman, on Aug. 13, 2014.

The couple waited until Vale’s arrival to choose her moniker. “We had a few names on the girl list,” Savannah told herTodayco-anchors a few days after the birth. Of the name Vale, she added, “We thought it was pretty unique, but not kooky or weird.”

As for becoming a first-time mom, the broadcast journalist said, “I feel so different. I just feel like life just started. Honestly, I can’t get over the joy she brings. It’s just inexpressible.”

In another segment, the new mom opened up to colleagueHoda Kotbabout her first interactions with Vale, including what it was like to bring her home from the hospital.

“I’m like, ‘You’re just going to let us take her home. Was there any kind of manual?’ ” she quipped. “But those moments I can remember being cheek-to-cheek, the tears rolling down and just having a little conversation with her like, ‘I’m always going to love you. I’m always going to protect you. I’m always going to be your mommy.’ "

While Savannah shared on thePEOPLE Every Daypodcast in January 2023 that she doesn’t like to “embrace” the word “famous” around her children, Vale has already made it known thatshe wants a career in the spotlight.

“My daughter actually … wants to be an actress,” she shared. “But I always say, ‘Honey, talent plus hard work can’t be beat … Just keep at it. I think you’re so talented. I think you’re amazing, bringing the hard work.’ "

More recently, the mother-daughter pairtraveled to Parisfor the 2024 Summer Olympics. A few months later, they attendedTaylor Swift’sEras Tourin Miami alongside Kotb and her daughters, as well asJenna Bush Hagerand her children.

Savannah and Michael welcomed their son Charles “Charley” Max Guthrie Feldman on Dec. 8, 2016.

“I knew it was the winning lottery ticket to have one child — I was 42 when I had [Vale]. So I never dreamed that I would have two,” she toldHealthin May 2019. “But with Charley, I did do IVF. So I would say Vale was a miracle, and Charley was a medical miracle.”

The mom of twoshared that it was “important"for Vale to have a sibling and “somebody to do life with.” Savannah also touched on her journey with IVF, which “ended up taking more than one attempt.”

In a December 2023 birthday post onInstagram, Savannah called Charley a “little firecracker who lights up my heart.”

As for the type of mother Savannah aims to be for Vale and Charley, she wants to strike a balance. “I want to be both the mom I wished I had, and the mom I had,” she said during a 2024 Mother’s Day special onToday.

“I think our job as moms is to be just rock solid,” Savannah continued. “I’m here and I’m for you. You can count on that. You can take that to the bank. You might be mad at me. That’s fine. I’ll still be here and I’ll still be for you and on your side.”
