New Additions to the Diamond Family!

What a crazy couple of weeks we have had! A two week hospital stay resulted in the birth of our precious new babies, Jack & Kara. They are both very small and will need to stay in the NICU for a few weeks, but they are doing quite well for preemies and have begun to take on a good amount of food each day. They are still fed through tubes but should be able to switch to bottles within another week. They were both treated for jaundice but had mild cases that appear to be resolved now.

Birthday: June 26, 2008...

Ainsley has seen her brother and sister, but we decided she doesn't understand. For now she just knows that mommy can't pick her up, there is a lot of extra baby stuff in the house, and Grandma and Grandpa D are in town for a visit.

As Jack & Kara come off of the IV drip and feeding tubes we will get some better pictures. I have only been able to hold each of them once so far. We are very much looking forward to them growing and getting strong enough for us to hold them during our daily visits to the NICU.
