A CHILD REACHES FROM THE WOMB TO TAKE HER DOCTOR’S HAND
A remarkable photograph of a baby reaching out from the womb to grip the finger of the doctor working to deliver her by C-section has drawn a huge amount of attention on the Internet:

The baby is named Nevaeh (it’s “Heaven” spelled backward) and her mother, Alicia Atkins, is a professional photographer. She didn’t take this particular photo, since she was rather preoccupied at the time, so the shutterbug duties fell to her husband Randy.
A report at Life News notes that such events are not unknown to hospital staff, but it’s very rare for such a perfect photograph of a baby reaching out from the womb to be captured. The Atkins’ are reportedly surprised at the popularity of the photo, which Mary Elizabeth Williams at Salon clocks at “over 5,000 likes and close to 3,000 shares” on Facebook as of Thursday.
While Mrs. Atkins professes herself gratified by the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the picture, Williams was somewhat under-whelmed.

Fascinating!
Of course that could also be a motivated human being to get out and start living life...
of course it could also be a person subjected to a limited square foot location in the upper east side of new York City!!!
An absolutely clear indicator of the beauty of life, when allowed to live the life G-od has blessed.
Leave it to a photographer to figure out the perfect shot! WoW!

It's such a beautiful and touching photo. I have never tired of viewing it.
If only liberals could understand or comprehend what a blessing those precious little ones are.
