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 29 - 1/1/12

Day 29... Happy New Year!!!

Lilly and Davis are doing well. Lilly is still handling her CPAP fairly well. Davis is doing great on his ventilator. They are going to start giving Davis steroids tonight, with hopes of moving him to a CPAP tomorrow.

Today was the big measurement day for the kids. Both grew 0.5 cm longer... making Lilly just under 14 1/2 inches and Davis just over 14 inches. Both kids also weighed in at 2 pounds and 8 ounces (Lilly is 10 grams heavier than Davis... little miss piggy!).

They went up on Davis's food again. He is now getting the same amount of food as his sister... 22 ml every 3 hours. Davis has been on continuous feed due to refluxing, so he gets 7.3 ml stretched out over every hour. Lilly gets her food stretched out over an hour to help her with her reflux.
