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 73 - 2/14/12

Day 73 ... Happy Valentine's Day!!!


Lilly strutting in her tutu!

Davis adjusting his nasal cannulas before his big photo session with his sister.


Davis getting mad because he wants to be on the left side... Lilly just letting her brother complain (and taking a cheap shot and poking his ear when he's not looking).



Both kids posing for the camera! They say, "Happy Valentine's Day!"


Davis said "enough is enough, where's my bottle!"

Our little angel needs her beauty rest.


Davis finally got his bottle, then went straight into a food coma... he's gonna be just like his dad.

Today was big day for the kids! They pulled Lilly and Davis's feeding tubes! That means they will get all their meals from bottles for now on (at least that's the plan...)! They also lowered both of their beds. They were sleeping on inclines to help with their reflux, but they want them to get used to being flat on their backs for when they get to go home.

They reduced Davis's airflow on his nasal cannulas and they're allowing Lilly to be without hers when she's not eating. Hopefully it won't be long before they are both off and breathing without any support!

Finally, both kids got their 3rd vaccination today. Both kids also has their hearing tests today. Their ears are working fine!

It won't be long now before we get to bring them home, maybe within the next couple of weeks!!!

Weigh in time... Lilly gained 2 ounces and is now at 4 pounds and 14 ounces!!! Davis lost an ounce, making him 5 pounds and 4 ounces... he's waiting for his little sis to catch up, what a gentleman!
