In pictures: Meet the latest Block baby! Haydn welcomes his first child just days into renovations
We've barely scratched the surface on The Block Island, so it's fair to say it came as quite a surprise when a new addition joined the teams just a couple of days in.
No, not a new Blockhead – a Block baby!

During Episode 2, Haydn received a phone call saying that his partner Chelsea was in early labour – a surprise for not only the couple, but also for his teammate Ricky.
Haydn had to take a chopper to the hospital, and before he knew where he was his little girl Matilda had arrived.
Scroll through to see photos of the newborn.
Haydn and his partner Chelsea had been trying for nearly a decade to have a baby and tried IVF for years without success.
Last year they conceived naturally, which was a beautiful surprise. Then Haydn found out he and his best mate Ricky were on The Block, and he had a big decision to make.
Ultimately, the pros of doing The Block and potentially setting up his young family was enough for him and Chelsea to come to the decision that this is an opportunity too good to miss.
Look at that little face!
Here's little Matilda looking ever so adorable in high-vis to match her dad.
Speaking about the phone call he received when he realised the tot was about to arrive, Haydn said: "My head was absolutely spinning when I had that call.
"I had a million things running through my head about what we're trying to do... and I'm on The Block, I'm at Phillip Island."
"It was waterproofing Wednesday, now it's water-breaking Wednesday!" Ricky laughed.
On the day Haydn received the phone call, Scotty Cam howled: "I'm going to be an uncle! Let's get you to the chopper!"
Haydn made it there safely, and Chelsea and baby Matilda were healthy and happy.
A precious little angel!
"It was a wild experience holding her for the first time. Absolutely wild. Coming into my arms, a little bundle of joy and my life changed instantly at that moment," Haydn said of the birth.
"I've been longing for this forever... the best feeling in my life, ever. "
Here's the little tot on-site meeting Foreman Dan – very cute!
With Haydn now on dad duties, it's fair to say it will be quite the wild time for Ricky on-site.
