Owen was very excited that the "babies" were finally out, but it was a bit late for Owen to meet his new brother and sister on the day they were born. Today was the day when we could be one big family! He was very excited, and marvelled at their tiny hands and feet. Here is a photo of all of us:
It didn't take long for two sleeping babies to bore him, though. We are hoping that he will adjust well, and continue to be proud of his new status: BIG BROTHER. Fortunately his baby brother and sister were thoughtful enough to bring him some presents - one of which gave him a bit of valuable mummy time.
We found it interesting that in Australia, the babies are all tightly swaddled - see below.
It makes for a cute photo, but is quite different to Germany, where the little ones were given freedom to stretch their arms eg Owen in Germany.
They also have a very snazzy hearing screening test. The tester plays a series of beeps to the babies, and monitors nerve activity to make sure the signals are getting through. You'll be happy to know that Abby and Sean passed with flying colours.
