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 75 - 2/16/12

Day 75...

Three steps forward, then two steps back... Lilly had her feeding tube reinserted today. She was wearing herself out trying to eat from a bottle for every feeding. By 3:00AM, she wouldn't even wake up to eat. So, I guess they'll take it slower and alternate bottle feedings and feeding tube.

Davis is doing well. He is still taking all his feedings from his bottle. He is also still struggling with his reflux. There's nothing they can do for the reflux... hopefully it gets better soon!

Weigh in... Davis lost an ounce, making him 5 pounds and 5 ounces. Lilly gained an ounce, making her 4 pounds and 15 ounces. Maybe tomorrow will be the day she passes 5 pounds!
