The sweet twin babies in this video have just been born. In fact, they don’t even realize that they are out in the world yet… they think they’re still in the womb!

Using a special technique, this nurse places them into a bath with a soft stream of water from the faucet that gently falls onto their faces – it’s designed to introduce the babies to their new environment. Surprisingly, the newborns aren’t too startled by this process.

Rather than cry or panic, they remain in a sweet hug with one another until they slowly begin to take their first breaths of air through their little mouths. Very slowly, the sweet babies start to move around, eventually opening their eyes to their new surroundings and to life. The two of them are absolutely precious! They yawn, hold hands, stretch, and even enjoy the flow of the water.

It’s so rare to be able to witness the very start of a new life, much less two lives! This video captures such an incredible moment, and it is truly a reminder of how precious, fragile, and beautiful life is.

Watch these precious babies’ beautiful first moments in the video below, and share with a friend.
