Sam Mac’s emotional tribute to one-month-old daughter
Sam Mac has shared a heartwarming one-month tribute to his baby daughter Margot.
The Sunrise weatherman and his girlfriend, Rebecca James, welcomed Margot Grace McMillan on September 10 following a whirlwind pregnancy.
One month on since her arrival, Sam shared a new photo of baby Margot in the bath with a beautiful tribute, jokingly describing her as a “wrecking ball”.
“Dear Margot, You’re 1 month old today! & my goodness, you came in like a wrecking ball!” Sam’s post read.
“It was always going to take a lot to see me relegated to 2nd biggest diva in the house, but you managed that in your first few hours. When you want something, oh my, do you let us know!
“Your face turns redder than Barnaby Joyce & your scream reaches 2 octaves higher than Jimmy Barnes.”
Sam then described the realities of being parents when babies “shoot out” of their mouths and bottoms, calling Margot a “mini Bellagio fountain”.
He went on to thank Margot for picking him and Rebecca to be her parents, saying they are “just so eternally grateful”.
“You are the most important person in our world. We both can’t stop staring at you. Your tiny fingers, your little ear lobes, the fat rolls on your neck. Every part of you is perfect to us. We even stare at you while you’re sleeping (an activity that would normally have us placed on a watch-list).
“Your Mum is giving you absolutely everything she’s got right now. Sometimes she’s exhausted & in pain, but she doesn’t let you see that. She shows you nothing but love. It’s a privilege to see both of you grow together. You’ll be tough like your Mum one day, I have no doubt.”
Sam continued to get more candid with his post, confessing that he is unable to do as much as his partner but that he is trying.
“Think of me as best supporting actor. I’m 2IC for Nappy Duties, Head Pram Steerer (setting lap records & already off-roading) & my favourite role of all… is Bath Boss. Everyday, 5pm, just you & me at Daddy’s Day Spa (tm).
“It’s very early days. We’re a brand new family working it all out together, bit by bit. It’s daunting, it’s tiring, but it’s mostly exhilarating.
“So much fun ahead for the 3 of us. & do you know what, I feel like you already have more in common with your dad than you might think. We’re both extremely grumpy when woken up & we both have an unhealthy fixation on boobs. That’s my girl.
“Happy 1 Month Margot X
“(Bec just informed me that 1 month olds can’t read & apparently Margot isn’t even on insta yet, so I’ll store this here in safe keeping & read it to her in a few years).”
