Weight, weight . . . don't tell me!

Q: What weighs one kilogram?

A: a baseball bat, a cantaloupe, a lot of cocaine, and CLARA MCGARVEY!!!

Since we bragged on Clara, I'm' sure Wilson would like us to point out that he weighs 1.06 kilograms. Clara and Wilson are both gaining weight, which is good, but not at a fast enough rate. Starting tomorrow or Monday the doctors and nurses will begin fortifying Chris' milk so the kids can gain weight more quickly. The fortifier is a specially designed formula that uses proteins and nutrients from human breast milk and is mixed at a 3:7 ratio with Chris' milk. This will raise the caloric content of Chris' milk from 16 calories per ounce to 24 calories per ounce.

All of this is part of the effort to get Clara and Wilson home by late September. In order to come home they have to be able to breathe on their own, eat on their own, and hold their own temperature. The only way for them to maintain their temperature is by having enough body fat. So while everyone from doctors to Michelle Obama has warned us of the dangers of childhood obesity, we're giving our kids the biggest milk shakes we possibly can.
