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 36 - 1/8/12

Day 36...

Today was a great day at the NICU! The babies are doing well today. They plan on moving Lilly to the CPAP tomorrow... hopefully it goes well!

Today was the first time we held the kids like normal babies (instead of the skin to skin kangarooing). They swaddled the kids and let us hold them in our arms. We liked it a lot better... it's a lot easier to look and interact with them when holding them (was tough to do that when they are laying on your chest...). Dad held Davis and mom held Lilly.

Weigh in... Lilly is at 2 pounds and 11 ounces, Davis is at 2 pounds and 10 ounces. They also did their full measurements today, but we forgot to ask about them.
