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 16 - 12/19/11

Grandma and Grandpa looking at the kids.




Day 16...

Both kids gained weight today! Nice to see after a couple days of decreasing weight... Lilly is back up to 2 pounds and 4 ounces. Davis packed on 100 grams, bringing him to 2 pounds and 1 ounce. Hopefully they will continue to gain weight tomorrow!

They are both handling their feedings well, so no changes there. They are also holding steady on their ventilator settings. Both kids will get blood gases tested again tomorrow morning to check the levels of CO2. Davis will get another X-ray on his chest so they can take a look at his lungs.

Grandma, Grandpap and Great Grandma are leaving tomorrow, so they all stopped by to visit our little ones and to say good bye.
