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 74 - 2/15/12

Day 74...

Today was a pretty good day for the kids. Davis didn't last long laying flat... the reflux was too much, so they put him back on an incline. Lilly is doing pretty good, but she is very tired. Making her drink from a bottle for every feeding is making her exhausted. We tried to bottle feed her at 9:00PM, but she wouldn't wake up. She managed to take a couple sips in her sleep, but no where near the amount she is supposed to be eating. They may have to put her feeding tube back in tomorrow if she continues to not wake up for feedings.


Weigh in... Davis gained 2 ounces, so he is now 5 pounds and 6 ounces! Lilly stayed at 4 pounds and 14 ounces! I think tomorrow will be her day to pass 5 pounds... assuming she wakes up to eat.
