She admits, though, that she had some shortcomings.
"I definitely failed at being a wife because I'm like, 'You know what? I'll make you toast but I've got so much going on and I can't do it all right now,'” she says. “I feel so guilty, but I didn’t have time to baby Brian.”
Because of their close quarters, Dreyer assumed she got coronavirus when she lost her sense of taste and smell, which are common symptoms, but she couldn’t get tested; baby Oliver also had a fever for three weeks, but since it was mild, Dreyer says his doctor "really didn't care."
"We think coronavirus went through our whole house," she says.

Now that the whole family is feeling healthy again, Dreyer and her husband are relishing spending quality time with their kids, especially after their difficult journey to get pregnant again with Oliver.
“We’re getting more time together than I ever would’ve imagined,” she says. “Sometimes it drives you crazy, but for the most part it’s been great.”
When Dreyer returns to Today on May 4, the family will remain just as close, as the plan is for her to go live from home like many of her colleagues.
"We're still at a point where even if I had it, am I immune? I don't know," she says about COVID-19. "And without an antibody test, I don't know if I officially had it. Everybody else is doing everything from home so it just makes sense for me to do it from home too. So we're working out getting the whole setup. I don't know where I'm going to do it. Again, we're just in a little apartment and my older son is attached to my hip. So I don't know how this is going to work. It'll be interesting."
Despite her concerns about working from home, Dreyer says she’s taking things “day by day” and is thankful to be with her family.
“Minus what’s going on in the world,” she says, “everything in our little apartment is perfect.”
