ABSTRACT
The observer’s first impression when she was introduced to the parents was a welcoming sense of peacefulness that continued throughout the rest of the pregnancy and after. The father is a thirty-eight-year-old white man of small stature with brown eyes and a bald head. He also seems nice. He is interested in the pregnancy and happy that they are twins. He collaborates and pays attention to the images of the babies. The father calls about the time scheduled for the delivery. The observer meets the parents in the hospital lobby. The mother is quiet and serious, but alert and looking from one side to the other, walking fast - too fast, considering her large belly. When the babies are three days old, the new observer visits them in the hospital. It was difficult to move around and “they were a bit disorganised and the room was a mess”.
