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 8 - 12/11/11

We have made it one week in the NICU. Davis had to go back to the ventilator… he wasn’t quite ready for the CPAP and was doing well on the ventilator before. So, we’ll have to let him grow and get a bit stronger before trying again. Both babies are doing as expected, so we interpret that to mean they are doing well. We did ask a new nurse today: Given everything that has happened this week, would you say our babies are doing well? Her response was “Heck yeah!” That’s what mommy and daddy like to hear! I know we can’t let our guards down, but nice to hear some positive feedback.

Granny had to go back to Tampa today. We are glad she got to meet her grandbabies and we know they are going to miss her looking at them through the glass cage!
