I don't have any human babies, but it sounds like you are doing just fine.
If you can get down on the floor to play with them 30 minutes a day that
should be fine.  If you can get a couple of neighborhood kids in to play
with them, that's great, too!  In the meantime, keep up with what you are
doing and they will be fine.  Better that they stay with you than go live
with strangers.  I see no need for you to give them up.
 
Enjoy your new baby!!! And you ferrets :)
