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 94 - 3/6/12

Day 94...

Sorry for not posting any updates over the last few days... we've been kind of busy. Lilly came home yesterday and she has been doing great! She's still on oxygen, but hopefully not for long. She had her first pediatric appointment today and everything looks good!

Davis should get to come home on Friday. He's been doing well in the NICU, but I think he misses his sister. They moved Davis back to a single slot in the general population area of the NICU... He had to give up the private isolation suite because he sister went home. Davis had another eye exam today. His eyes have matured nicely and still no sign of ROP! Woohoo! Lilly gets her follow up eye exam on Friday.

Aunt Diane from Washington D.C. came to visit over the weekend. It was great having her here to help us get everything ready to bring Lilly home!

Weigh in... Davis is up to 6 pounds and 9 ounces! Lilly passed the 6 pound mark on Sunday night, and she is now at 6 pounds and 3 ounces!
