Lilly and Davis' Story

Lilly Mae and Davis Anthony were born on Sunday, December 4th. They were born at 25 weeks and 5 days of gestation.

Lilly was born first at 9:56PM. She weighed 1 pound and 14 ounces and was 13.25 inches long. Her head was 24 cm in circumference (slightly smaller than a baseball).

Davis was born at 10:07PM... 11 minutes after his sister (something she'll never let him forget). He weighed 1 pound and 13 ounces. He was 13 inches long and had the same size head as his sister.

Both were taken to the NICU directly after delivery and are expected to be there until their original due date, March 12th (that's exactly 100 days in the NICU!)

Please keep these little ones in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully we will get to bring them home sooner!

Day 11 - 12/14/11

Day 11... babies still in the NICU. Both kids started with 11 mls of food this morning, and where bumped up to 12 mls at 9:00PM.

Lilly Mae weighed in 2 pounds and 1 ounce!!! Woohoo, she's our little piggy! Davis gained an ounce, now weighing 1 pound and 15 ounces! He better start putting on the pounds... don't want his sister imposing her will on him when they are older (like aunt Stephanie did to her brother... she was a beast!)

The doctors plan on stopping IV fluids for both kids tomorrow. If all goes well, they both will get the pick lines (IV lines) out of their arms in a few days! We are making progress!!!

Mommy got to kangaroo with Lilly and Davis, while Gandma and Great Grandma visited with the kiddos. Lilly and Davis both really love the time the get to spend with their momma!

We also brought their little blankets home today for Tank and Harley to check out the new smells. Harley didn't really care, but Tank seems to really like his brother and sister... he even slept with their blankies.
