In my previous blogs, I mentioned that my wife Heidi and I were expecting our first child. On June 2nd, at 5:33 pm we welcomed Zeke Edward Battier to the Battier family!!!! Zeke weighed 8 lbs 3oz and was 21 inches long. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! This is my wife's and my first child so the entire pregnancy and labor were totally new experiences. I am so proud of Heidi for going through labor; she is certainly a lot tougher than I am! I don't know if I could have done it. I was with her the whole way, coaching her and reminding her to breathe, haha.

We promised each other that we would not find out what sex the baby was going to be. We figured that this is one of nature's great surprises and we wanted the anticipation of not knowing whether or not we were having a boy or a girl.  When Zeke finally popped out, I lost control of my emotions and cried for five minutes. I was just so happy that my child was here and that Zeke was a happy (and big!) boy.

It truly is an amazing process and I never knew that I could love something as much as I love my son (and he's only been here a week!).

Of course we are getting used to a new routine. We don't get as much sleep and we don't get to do as much as we did before. Zeke is now the boss, but you'll hear no complaints from us. I am excited to wake up every day just to see how he has changed overnight.

People ask me all the time if I want him to grow up to play basketball. I only want two things from my children. First, I want them to know right from wrong and secondly, I want them to do whatever makes them the most happy and fulfilled in life. If that happens to be basketball, then I would be happy. But I would be just as satisfied if Zeke wanted to be a concert pianist or doctor or artist. As long as he knows right from wrong, is a good person and is happy.

I'll send you pictures from time to time to show how fast Zeke is growing.

I hope you enjoy these pictures!

Talk soon,

Shane

译文如下:

在我以前的博文中,我应该提过我的妻子海蒂和我一直热盼着我们第一个孩子的降生。在6月2日下午5点33分的时候,我们终于等到了齐克-爱德华-巴蒂尔加入我们的家庭。齐克的体重有8磅、3盎司,21英寸的身长。他简直是我见过的最漂亮的孩子。这是我和妻子的第一个孩子,所以妻子怀孕和生产的整个过程对我们来说都是第一次经历。我为海蒂能够完成这样伟大的事情感到骄傲,她真的比我坚强多了。我不知道如果换作是我,还能不能坚持下来。在生产的当天,我一直在当她的教练,我一直提醒她不断努力呼吸,哈哈。

我们都向对方保证过不会事前查孩子的性别,我们希望这能给我们带来惊喜。当小齐克出生的时候,我没法控制自己的情绪,竟然哭了5分钟。我的孩子就在那,我很开心,齐克也是一个快乐的大儿子!
这真是一个神奇的过程,我以前从来不知道我对自己的儿子会爱得如此之深,而他刚刚才到这个世上一个礼拜啊。

当然,我也知道我的生活以后会走向一个全新的轨道,我可能会没有那么多用来睡觉的时间了,我的生活也不会和以前完全一样。齐克现在是我的新“老板”,但是你却不会从我口中听到任何的抱怨。我每天醒来,对他一晚上的成长都会激动不已。

很多人问我将来会不会让他长大之后也打篮球。我对自己的孩子只有两个要求,第一是要分清对与错,第二,我希望他从事能够让他一生都快乐的事情。如果篮球是他的乐趣所在,我当然愿意他做这行。但是,如果齐克本来想做的事钢琴家、医生或者画家的话,我是不会让他牺牲爱好的。我只想他明事理,做个快乐的人。
我会不断发齐克成长的照片,希望你们能喜欢。

再聊!

肖恩
