I can't get to Shane's blog, but here is the birth info:

Zeke Edward Battier was born June 2 at 5:33 p.m., weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz and measuring 21-inches long.
Congrats Battier family!
Congratulations to Shane and family.

Congrats to Shane!
Now extend the kid an offer already...
Thank God it's a boy.
Congrats Shane.

almost 2 feet long and over 8 pounds - that's a big baby.

I don't know about the height (or is it called length?), but 8 lb is only slightly above average for a newborn these days - this site says an average baby born (actually says median) in the US weighs 7lb 11oz (7.7 lb). I have a feeling women who've given birth before probably want to kill me right now for saying an 8lb baby is not big
Just saw that his first name is Zeke - I guess Shane was a fan of Isiah, or maybe it's a family name, but I just don't think Zeke Battier is a good name... Hopefully he'll just go by his middle name or something :-p
Congratulations, Shane and Heidi!
Who's your daddy? June 15? Sorry. Lil' Battier couldn't wait that long!

I am straight up drooling at Battier in the front court and Parker-Williams in the backcourt! National title, here we come!
Wonder if Roy will have won one with his own players by then?
But how does everyone know that the man is in charge of the family, etc., if his name does not come first?
Of course, you could go preppy and name the kid Parker Williams-Parker.
So, is Zeke short for Ezekiel (strength of God)? Shane was a religion major, if I recall correctly.
