From Mighty Tomato Plants Do Little Tomatoes Grow
Yesterday, within seconds of Tweeting :
Most stressful day of my life. Baby boy – Sam. 9.95lbs born 4.51pm.
I was inundated by congratulations messages from my followers and friends. Thank you for all your good wishes and congratulatory messages. The most commonly asked question - “do you have a pic”. Well, here he is!
Having gone to hospital at 1.30am, it was a long day and at least he came out safe and sound without too much damage to mum. Needless to say the whole family are delighted, if not a little tired.
Three reasons for this post:
1. Obviously i’m immensely proud being a new dad.
2. Extending out to the loyal community on this site and connecting and responding to requests, plus sharing a bit of personal stuff
3. Update you on our Blogging calendar

Thank you Jean. You’re right, we have some friends who have new babies a few weeks old and already they’ve changed enormously.

Thank you Eleanor! He’s still cute and my wife and I keep smiling at him. I’m sure he’s grown a few inches since last time and he’s so strong. Even the nurses can’t believe he’s trying to hold his head up already.

Hey Matt!
Congratulations mate! Good on ya.
I have 3 little ones myself (all 7 and under) and I hear you – each delivery was the most stressful day of my life! All went well for babies, mom and dad though, in all three deliveries!
Anyway, all the best!

Thank you Don.
Wow, 3 under 7 must be a real handful! Blimey, I’m not sure I could go through that stress – as my wife said ‘never again’!
Thanks again, good wishes to you and yours.

Congratulations Matt!
Glad everyone is happy and healthy. Make sure to leave plenty of time for family and perhaps the business needs to take a slight backseat as you get adjusted to all of the wonders of fatherhood.

Thank you very much Karen, his auntie and his grandma are both smitten with him. Doesn’t look like we’re going to be short of baby sitters!

Thanks Ryan, it’s certainly very different. I think this is going to be the easiest part when he sleeps a lot, it’s when he’s toddling about he’s going to be trouble!
