He's got more grams than a gram convention

Calvin weighed in at 1795 grams this morning. As most of you have probably immediately calculated in your head, that's just shy of 4 pounds. That's a lot in proportion to his original weight of 3 pounds, and we all thought that he looked bigger today than even yesterday. He's getting to look a little more like what you think of when you think 'baby'. This is a little weird- after getting used to seeing nothing but preterm babies, full term ones look like ungainly giants, and it's been interesting watching him fill out. He's moved on to feeding every three hours instead of hourly, too.

From the nurse's perspective he was kind of misbehaving today, pulling out his feeding tube several times. This meant that he was free of tubes when Sam held him, which was nice to see:
Those pictures are very calm looking compared to what he was actually like today. Anyway, today was pretty fun on the Calvin front. To celebrate, here's a Weekend Fun Edition of Calvin, by the numbers!

425: net weight gain in grams.
33: mL of milk every three hours to sustain that growth.
4.7: average number of times per day I rifle through his nursing chart, looking for more data. Must have data.
2: Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil that's been rubbed into his skin so far.
1.8: average hours per day spent outside the incubator (estimated).
1: number of times the word 'explosive' has been written in his nursing chart.
