Actor Matthew McConaughey recently celebrated his first Father’s Day with his girlfriend and first child Levi. According to reports the star took the opportunity to go online and share some good news with his fans. He and Camila are expecting another baby.

McConaughey broke the news on his official website. “Happy Father’s Day. It’s my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date. We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father’s Day that (will) make this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother… Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time, Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows,” he wrote.

Of course, like any proud dad he spoke about his upcoming arrival at other times as well. Case in point the National Conference for Service and Volunteering that was recently held in San Francisco. The actor talked about his j.k. livin’ foundation as well as Levi’s sibling. He said of the foundation, “We are putting after-school fitness and wellness programs into undeserved communities nationwide, teaching physical fitness, nutrition education, with an emphasis on daily gratitude for how much or how little we have. And now that I’m blessed to be a father myself — I got one at home who’s 11 months and as you people know, we have another one in the oven, three months — this foundation and its cause means even more to me.”

As happens with so many of us, parenthood is clearly affecting the way he sees the world and his place in it. It is good that someone who has the visibility to make a difference can reach out to touch the lives of others. If being a father is what helps to inspire that drive to help the less fortunate then more power to him. He uses the j.k. livin’ foundation to allow himself as well as friends and fans to reach out to those in need.

Congratulations to Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves on the pending addition to their family. I wish her a happy and worry free pregnancy. Some people may jokingly call him a hippie because of his lifestyle, but so far he seems to be a pretty grounded dad. Good luck to them as they continue on this adventure called parenthood.

Ok, another celebrity baby has joined the 2008 list of newborns with the birth of actor Matthew McConaughey and model Camila Alves first child. The baby boy was born on Monday, July 7 at 6.44p.m. The newest McConaughey on the planet weighed seven pounds, 4 ounces (7 pounds 4 ounces) at birth. Young McConaughey followed a couple of hours after Australian actress, Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban welcomed Sunday Rose into the world.

McConaughey in a statement on the birth of his son to OK! Magazine said, ?Camila and I were side by side the entire time. We are both tired and elated, and are so happy to have created the greatest miracle in the world. Having a child and making a family. Now comes the greatest adventure ? raising one, together.

Thirty-eight year old McConaughey and 24-year old Alves, who hails from Brazil, announced they were expecting their first together on his Web site in January.

The proud parents have not yet given the name of their son to the press, but as soon as they do, we?ll give you an update.

Welcome to the world of parenting!

While preparing to write about the birth of actress Tori Spelling?s second child and first daughter, I decided to do a follow-up blog re 2008 being a bumper year for celebrity births.

In early march I reported that 18 celebrities had become parents. The number of celebrities welcoming new addition to their families has not abated. Since March sixth, my unofficial count has seen another 28 births to celebrities, and these are just the more popular ones.

Well-known celebrities who have given birth or whose wives have given birth since our last post are:

March

Punky Brewster star, Soleil Moon Frye, and husband, Jason welcomed a son on March 17. On March 20, director Rob Cohen and his wife Barbara welcomed not one, but three new celebs into the world. The Cohen?s triplets are two girls and a boy.

March births continued with celebrity actress Halle Berry, chef, Giada De Laurentiis, country singer Darryl Worley, singer Kellie Coffey, and Angela Kinsey, star of The Office all welcoming new additions to their families.

April

Nine celebrity births were recorded for the month of April. Those making the list are Australian actress Cate Blanchett, baseball star Alex Rodriquez, actresses Jodie Sweetin, Elisabeth R?hm and Tracey Gold, reporter Thea Andrews and Atomic Kitten singer, Kerry Katona.

May

Another civil rights leader may well be on the way with the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr?s first grandchild. His son, Martin Luther King III and his wife welcomed their daughter into the world. Actor Sean Patrick Thomas and his wife, Aonika also expanded their family during May.

May births were also recorded for rapper T.I., figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, star of Lost, Harold Perrineau, Jr., Zac Hanson of the Hansons, and twins for Coldplay drummer Will Champion and his wife, Marianne.

June

One of the most anticipated births of the year was the daughter of Fantastic 4 star Jessica Alba. June also saw actor Vin Diesel, guitarist of Joe Don of the Rascal Flatts, and funny man Jack Black welcoming their bundles of joy to the world.
