Samuel Is Getting Bigger

Ashley took Sam to the doctor today. He had a cardiologist appointment. His primary doctor heard something that she didn't like when she examined him and sent him to have it checked out. EKG and the works. Ultimately, it turns out its nothing to be alarmed about: kids have a hole in their heart when they are inside mom that closes shortly after birth. Premi's, being ahead of the scheduled due date, don't close up as fast, so he has a small hole in his atrium that will close soon, we're told. "Nothing to be alarmed about," they say. Phfew.

The bigger news is that Sam is now 8 lbs, 1 oz. Ashley took a picture at the doctors office so you can see his progress:
