Erin Coleman, the Channel 2 Action News anchor at 4 p.m., had a son last month. Her son weighed in at 7 pounds 8 ounces at birth.

The boy is the first child for Erin and her husband.

She joined the station five years ago this month.

"Yes, it's hard to believe the baby will be a month old on Sunday!" she wrote me early this morning. "Not sure of the exact date I'm coming back--probably the last week of December, but again, not sure."

In early October on  her public Facebook page, she posted:

10 days into this mommy thing, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. There are some definite things I need to work on -- like changing a diaper much, much faster, but I think he's being as patient with me as possible

Bachman in August left for a lead anchor job in Jacksonville.

Lucie joined WSB-TV in 2011. Here's his note to me:
