Big guy was born on 8/17/11 at 2:24pm, 9lbs 7oz and 22in long.
He and Marianne are doing very well! There has been some concern about his heart because they noticed irregular heartbeats, which is typical of newborns, but these irregularities were not the typical ones they expected. Apparently newborns commonly have pre-mature atrial contractions that cause these irregularities, but big chief Sam was having premature ventricular contractions. So we were a little delayed in bringing him home as they ran a few tests on him. He was finally released, but he has to wear a heart monitor that is basically a mini ECG. That will be analyzed and then hopefully we can just have some fun with the big guy!
