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 79 - 2/20/12

Day 79...

Another good day today! Both kids are eating well and growing big and strong. No big changes today. We brought in our own bottles to make sure the kids like them when we eventually get to bring them home. They both love the new bottles! Davis was chugging his food today! His average feedings were close to 35 ml per meal yesterday... today he pounded his bottles eating 52 ml, 60 ml and 50 ml at his last 3 feedings. Lilly also ate from her bottle 3 times today. We're gradually increasing her bottle feeds so that we don't wear her down again.

Davis gained 2 ounces, making him 5 pounds and 9 ounces! Lilly gained an ounce, making her 5 pounds and 4 ounces!
