As for what Phillip cooked for her final meal before motherhood, the senior political correspondent says she made “a sausage dish.”

Speaking about her home delivery, Phillip tells PEOPLE it “went pretty well” and was “fairly short.”

“We gave birth right here in this house, which was really nice,” she adds. “It was great to just be here and recover at home.”
