When asked more specifically how he’s managing a busy career with being a dad, Priestly joked, "Um, one in each hand? I'm not sure yet. I'll have to get back to you on that. It's all very new thus far." As for his wife, Naomi Lowde, Priestly said she’s been handling the adjustment to motherhood very well. "She's doing very well. I'm sure she's resting right now. If the baby's asleep, I'm sure she's asleep too. It's good. There were no big surprises in the first 10 days, but I'm sure there's many to come." Source: People.com

The mother of 20-month-old Alastair told OK! magazine: “We will be trying for another as soon as we can fit it in - we are ready now! We'd both love one in another year.

We'll be happy to stop at that.” Although it might sound ambitious, the fact is the Stewarts already have a large family. Lancaster added that in addition to their son, they have “five children plus I've got all my family and Rod's extended family.
