September 21, 2008: Day 21 (Aunt Linda, Part II and Grandma & Grandpa Smith visit)

Aidan had more visitors today as his Grandma and Grandpa Smith came up from Albany to spend the afternoon. His Aunt Linda also spent the morning at the NICU before she had to get going to the airport to catch a plane back to Chicago.

Dr Mischel increased Aidan's feeding from 13cc to 14cc every 2 hours.

At tonight's weighing, Aidan is now 1120 grams (2 lbs 7.5 oz). It's Sunday, so they also measured him. He is 37cm (14 5/8 inches), and his head is 24.75cm (9 3/4 inches) around. In the last week, he:

- Gained 5.5 oz (157 grams)
- Grew 3/8 of an inch
- His head grew 1/4 inch around

He is growing very well right now.

Aidan holds his own binky:



Tomorrow morning he turns 3 weeks old!
