The presenter, who is married to John Deasy, opened up on how parenthood has changed her in her blog, first1000days.ie.
“It’s amazing how a child completely changes your life. With Christmas just around the corner, I have realised how different I am as a person compared to this time last year,” wrote the 44-year-old.
Maura, who co-hosts The Today Show on RTE with Daithí Ó Sé, added: “With all the ups and downs taken into consideration, motherhood is sheer joy. I never thought that a smiling baby would make me forget about being totally exhausted after being woken from a peaceful sleep at 4am, but it does.”
The star has previously spoken about her “traumatic birth” with seven-month-old Cal, revealing that it took a lot longer than she had anticipated to recover.
We're delighted to hear the Maura is enjoying motherhood with little baby Cal.
