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 18 - 12/21/11

Lilly enjoying her pacifier while sugar plums danced in her head!




Davis doing his best Santa impression (a sleepy Santa...).



Day 18...

We played dress up with the kids today. They don't quite fit in their Christmas hats yet, but they'll eventually fill them in (maybe they'll be their Valentine's Day hats!).

Lilly maintained her weight today, staying at 2 pounds and 5 ounces. Davis lost an ounce (down to 2 pounds and 2 ounces), but that's ok because he had two days of huge weight gains.

They upped Davis's food today to 19.5 ml every 3 hours (he's catching up to his big sis!). Lilly is staying constant at 20 ml every 3 hours.

Both kids are also old enough and big enough to start getting an RSV immunization once a month (some kind of respiratory virus...).

    Thank-you to Marcia for the cute little Santa hats! Lilly and Davis said they are keeping them toasty warm:)
