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 60 - 2/1/12

Day 60...

Davis and Lilly were great with their bottles!!! I got to feed Davis and Lindsey fed Lilly. We are allowed to bottle feed for 20 minutes, then the leftovers get pushed through their feeding tubes. Davis ate over half his bottle in 12 minutes... then he passed out. I guess eating from a bottle is hard work. Davis was great with pacing himself during his feeding (he remembered to breathe between bites...). Lilly ate just under half her food over 10 minutes. She also did great with pacing herself.

Davis and Lilly got to try their second bottle at their 3:00 AM feeding. They bottle took their entire bottles within the allotted time!!!

Lilly also had her eye check up yesterday. The doctors were very impressed with the amount of development with her eyes over the week. She is now rated a 2 out of 3 in eye maturity (same as Davis)! She still shows no sign of eye disease.

Weigh in... Davis gained an ounce and weighs 4 pounds and 3 ounces. Lilly gained 2 ounces and now weighs 3 pounds and 10 ounces!
