When Alicia Atkins of Glendale, Ariz., was undergoing a routine
C-section in October, something extraordinary happened.Atkins's baby
girl still inside her mother's womb reached up and grabbed her OBGYN's
finger.
Realizing how special the moment was, Dr. Allen Sawyer, who has also
delivered Atkins's other two children, called to her husband Randy to
grab the camera.In a split second, he was able to capture the special
moment just in time.
"I think it's an amazing, beautiful photo; it's just a precious photo
at this point," Atkins told FoxNews.com, Atkins is actually a
professional photographer herself and owns her own business called A
Classic Pin-Up Photography. She shared the remarkable photo on her
business' Facebook page the day after Christmas, and it has since gone
viral, having been shared more than 2,000 times. Atkins said she did not
expect how popular the photo would become.
"It's a little overwhelming, we never expected it to go viral
especially worldwide," Atkins said. "We are so thrilled beyond words at
how positive and grateful people are that we shared it."Atkins and her
husband have named their new baby girl Neveah, which is 'Heaven' spelled
backwards. On her Facebook page, Atkins describes all of her kids as
"miracle children."
Meanwhile, the irony that her husband used her camera to take the
photo is not lost on her."It was a little weird that my husband took one
of the most popular photos on the site," Atkins said.
