Mr Stink Comes To The PEC

apart yet managed to cross over two dates and will forever have different birthdays.

Evan was born at 11.56pm on 24 February and Owen at 12.02am on 25 February.

Lou said being the mum of multiples was ‘surreal’.

“The first time they were both put on me, it felt like a bit of a glitch in the matrix to look at both of them at the same time,” she said.

“You’re wired to just look at one.”

Now that she has returned to earth and is happily ensconced in the baby bubble of newborn family life, Lou says that the daily routine is hectic but fulfilling.

“Matty and I are often like a highly synchronised team swapping babies to feed, nappy change and play with,” said Lou.

“Everything takes a little longer than with one newborn so we just allow a little more time when getting out and about.

“The twins are quite the attraction when we head to the shops and have been stopped many times now in the few trips we’ve made out.”

Lou and Matty would like to thank everyone who has been involved with the safe delivery of their precious twins.

“The medical team who took care of us were incredible, from our GP at 121 Medical here at home, to both the pre and postnatal teams at Townsville Hospital as well as the specialists in Brisbane,” said Lou.

“And especially the midwives and nurses after birth who provided essential care in the first few weeks of their life, we learned so much from each of them and each had a unique piece of information we have taken home with us to help the transition to home life.”
