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 38 - 1/10/12

Day 38...

Today was a busy day for the kids! They moved from the general population area to the penthouse suite (ok, the isolation room...). Lilly and Davis are now sharing a separate room away from all the other kids. This is because Lilly is a carrier of MRSA. We kinda like the room because it is more private. We also love that we now have an unlimited supply of plastic gowns and gloves at our disposal... I'm starting to dig the whole plastic clothes thing, and I think I've lost about 40 pounds since we started wearing them. Actually, most of our nurses have been nice and let us slide on the gown thing while in the room (Thanks, Karen, Sarah and Allison!) We only have to wear them when we hold the kids.

Lilly was struggling on her CPAP today, so they went to a higher setting (bi-phasic... It puffs air at a set rate to help remind her to take a breath). Davis is doing well with his CPAP.

Weigh in time... Davis jumped ahead of Lilly in weight! Davis weighs 2 pounds and 12 ounces! Lilly weighs 2 pounds and 11 ounces.
