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 12 - 12/15/11

Day 12... Big day for the kids.

Lilly and Davis both gained an ounce. So, 2 pounds and 2 ounces for Lilly, and 1 pound 15 ounces for Davis. We think Davis is going to hit the 2 pound mark by tomorrow.

Both kids are getting 13 mls of food today, and going up to 14 ml at midnight.

Davis got to come off his ventilator today and try the CPAP machine again. Hopefully he handles it better this time. Lilly is still requiring the support of the ventilator... they are thinking another week before we can try the CPAP with her.

Both kids are getting their last bit of fluids through their pick lines today. They plan on stopping the fluids tomorrow, then hopefully removing the lines in a few days.

Daddy kangaroo'd with Lilly today and mommy got to hold Davis. Both kids did well!
