BABIES and big moments in Cameron Pedersen's football career seem to go hand in hand.
He and wife Sarah had their first child, Charlee, just weeks before he made his AFL debut for North Melbourne last year, while the couple's second child, Ruby, came along three weeks ago - just as the key-position player was weighing up his football future.
A month of speculation led to a last-minute trade deal on Friday in which he moved to Melbourne in exchange for Jordan Gysberts and a swap of draft picks.
Pedersen has endured plenty of ups and downs in recent years.

He had to fight to get on to an AFL list in the first place, while baby Charlee battled health complications after being born five weeks prematurely last February.
The 25-year-old admitted the speculation about his mooted switch had been tough to deal with.
"It was very stressful, because obviously I wanted the opportunity to play more regular senior footy," Pedersen said.

"If nothing had happened, I still would have been happy to stay at North Melbourne as well, but I'm ecstatic I'm at Melbourne."
Pedersen said the chance to play regular football at Melbourne had been too appealing to pass up.
"I'll always be grateful to North Melbourne for picking me up and giving me the opportunity. I loved my time there, but sometimes future plans don't work out and so I'm very happy to be at Melbourne now," he said.
