After FaceTiming her Today show colleagues, Abo took to Instagram<\/a> to share the birth of her baby boy<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cHi there, you can call me Sonny,\u201d she wrote alongside images of her newborn. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a week with our little man. He came into the world a little early but that gave us a little longer to marvel at you, our beautiful boy. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe love you so infinitely darling. And to the incredible doctors and midwives who made hospital home for two weeks \u2013 thank you for taking such good care of us, you are all angels and we are forever grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with the team at Today, Abo held Sonny as she introduced him to her colleagues and the rest of Australia. <\/p>\n

She shared that he is now about a week old, adding that he came into the world \u201ca little bit early\u201d but is doing well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really good. He was born just in time to watch his first Pies win against the Blues … so that was a bit of a thrill,\u201d she joked. <\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough dad only had eyes for his bubba. And we\u2019ve been just in our own little bubble for the week which is such a treat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abo apologised for not getting back to people who had reached out to her over the past week, explaining that she and Moran have had their hands full. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like you can\u2019t even imagine life without them. You just go, \u2018Wow, now this is our world, \u2019 and everything is so special and nothing else matters, which is wonderful,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Abo thanked the doctors and midwives she worked with several times, explaining that her pregnancy didn\u2019t exactly go as planned.<\/p>\n

Abo said baby Sonny arrived early but is well.\u00a0Instagram\/@SarahAbo<\/p>\n

She was originally meant to go on maternity leave in August 2026; however, on July 15, she announced that she had departed the show early due to health complications<\/a> related to her pregnancy<\/a>. <\/p>\n

She announced on Instagram that she had been in and out of the hospital for some time and had since been ordered to stay on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy. <\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully I\u2019m in the safe hands of magnificent doctors, nurses and midwives taking incredibly good care of bub and me and we are both well,\u201d she wrote at the time. <\/p>\n

During her appearance with Sonny on Today, Abo apologised to her colleagues that she wasn\u2019t able to be in the studio for a proper send-off. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know the viewers and the audience have been just incredible. I\u2019ve had so many messages of support from you all,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had so many messages of support from you all. Know that I tried everything. I tried to break free out of hospital to get there on the couch just to say goodbye to you one last time. But I couldn\u2019t, and I\u2019m so sorry about it, doctor\u2019s orders. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut you all know how much I love you, and you all on the couch and everyone behind-the-scenes there just incredible. You put the best show together, and I\u2019ve missed you all so much. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019ll be seeing you all soon, you\u2019ll be able to meet the man and I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
