Congratulations! I'm sure your kittens will soon settle in.
I found that my cats (who are Feral and very nervous and wary of people) were best left alone and to let them take things at their own pace. One of the cats we raised from a kitten and was friendlier, enjoying a fuss . By ignoring the other cats and fussing the friendly one (Sandy ) the wary cats were reassured and eventually wanted me to stroke them too ! I always spoke quietly and moved slowly so as not to scare them. It takes time and patience but I'm sure your nervous kitten will eventually not want to miss out on the attention !
