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 14 - 12/17/11

Day 14...

Lilly and Davis both lost some weight today... boooooo! Lilly lost 50 grams, bringing her down to 2 pounds and 1 ounce. Davis lost 20 grams. However, he is still at 2 pounds even (20 grams must have been lost in the rounding...).

Lilly got her pick line removed today, woohoo! Davis gets his line removed tomorrow.

Lilly is up to 20 ml of food every 3 hours. Davis gets 18 ml each feeding. They graduated from the gradual step up feeding schedule and now are getting full feeds! Their food amounts will now be based on their weight (160 ml a day for every kg of body weight... in case you just dieing to know the formula).

We didn't hold the babies today :( We got to the hospital late and they looked all warm and cozy sleeping in their beds, so we decided not to disturb them.
