Popular CT News Anchor Returns To Work After Maternity Leave

Heidi Voight, the popular NBC Connecticut news anchor who recently had twins, returned to work Wednesday morning following her maternity leave, she announced on her Facebook page.

"Reunited and it feels so good!... or is that just the giant iced coffee coursing through my veins?" she joked in the below photo from the set.

Her daughters, Apolonia "Polly" Rose and Violet Concetta, were born prematurely on Mother's Day weekend, six weeks ahead of schedule which she chronicled in an emotional Facebook post.

The two adorable little ones, whose father is Heidi's husband, David, were so tiny that only toy doll clothes would fit them.

"We donated those tiny little girl clothes for other preemie babies to come, and for another scared NICU mom to feel that glimmer of hope," Voight wrote. "Your baby girl is here, and she's beautiful. You can celebrate that. And I know it seems impossible at the beginning, but you are going to get through this...together."

Voight was enthusiastically welcomed back to work by colleagues and hundreds of fans on Wednesday.

Welcome back, Heidi!
