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 37 - 1/9/12

Day 37...

Another good day in the NICU! Lilly graduated to a CPAP this afternoon. She seems to be handling it well. It's great to see both kids off the ventilators and on CPAP!

Lilly went up on her calories per ounce of milk. She is now drinking 26 cal/ounce (was 24 cal/ounce). Davis is still on the 24 calorie stuff. Other than that, no big changes.

Weigh in... Both kids gained an ounce! Lilly is now 2 pounds and 12 ounces and Davis is 2 pounds and 11 ounces.

Measurements from Sunday night... Lilly is now 37 cm long (up 0.5 cm from last week), making her just over 14.5 inches. Davis is now 36.5 cm (up 0.5 cm from last week too), making him just under 14.5 inches.
