They have been married for 2 years and now Lucas and Phoebe have a daughter, Sienna! They are delighted to have a baby, although they weren't planning on having a baby so soon. They are loving being parents and they are coping well generally, apart from the sleepless nights!
Family 2:
LN: Foster
DH: Hamish Jacob (30)
DW: Isobel Anna (29)
DD: Stella Grace (nb)
Hamish and Isobel are extremely happy to welcome their beautiful daughter Stella. Stella was born prematurely so they had to stay in the hospital for a while after she was born. Luckily, Stella was a strong baby and was healthy enough to leave after a few weeks. She is named after Hamish's mum Eleanor and Isobel's dad Graham. They are finding being parents quite stressful at times but they have had quite a lot of practice with their nieces and nephews.
Family 3:

DH: Yoav Ariel (25)
DW: Adina Chaya (25)
DD: Gabriella Megan (nb)
Soon after moving to Australia, Adina and Yoav decided it was time for a baby, and a few months later they found out they were expecting. Both were over joyed at the idea of little Ella, but now are just frankly, sleep-deprived.
Family 2:
LN: Dixon
DH: Phillip Alexander (36)
DW: Eloise Rosemary (35)
DS: Matthew Cameron (nb)
Phillip and Elly were woried that due their ages they would have a problem concieving, but there wasn't one and now they have a baby. Baby Matt is the light in his parents' eyes and their only current concerns regard to the fact that in 4 and 5 years they will be 40!
Family 3:
LN: Nichols (Mikolajczak)
DH: Jacob Alexander "Jake" (Jakub Aleksandr) (20)
DW: Sonia Roxanne (Sonja Roksana) (19)
DD: Nina Eleanor (Natalia Eleonora) (nb)
Jake and Sonja weren't expecting to get pregnant so soon after eloping but as suprising as their news was they decided not to share it with their parents until little Natalia was born (their logic was probably "Oh they'll just love her and forget what we did") but that did not happen. Both Jake and Sonja's parents were angered by the news and disowned them. After recieving this terrible news they decided to never return to Poland and changed their names to something more "Australian" .
