A stunning photograph that captures
the moment when a newly born baby emerges from her mother’s womb has
become one of the first viral hits of 2013 after the proud parents
posted it on Facebook for friends and family to share.
Alicia
Atkins of Glendale, Arizona gave birth to daughter, Nevaeh, via
Caesarean section on October 9. Her husband Randy snapped this touching
image of a baby entering the world for the first time and grabbing hold
of the doctor’s fingers.
'The
doctor called me over and said, "Hey, she's grabbing my finger,"' Randy
told 3TV News. 'So I ran over there and just grabbed the shot and I was
just in awe looking at it. It was such an amazing picture.'
Wife Alicia is the professional photographer in the family and owns A Classic Pin-Up photo studio.
On December 26, she posted the photo on her company
Facebook page for family and friends to see.
She
also wrote: 'This was 10 weeks ago when I was having my c-section and
Dr. Sawyer broke my water and my daughter reached up out of my stomach
and grabbed the Dr.'s finger and my hubby caught this special moment.
'Truly amazing.
‘I am in awe of this photo.
‘Something to remember forever.’
Much
to her surprise, the photo has really captured people’s attentions, so
far it has received over 1,800 likes, more than 500 shares and 260
comments – overwhelmingly positive reactions to the Atkins sharing such
an intimate and special moment.
'We didn't think we were going to get
such positive feedback. We thought we would get more negative 'that's
disgusting,'" Alicia told KTVK. '[Instead] everybody just thought it was
the best thing in the world.'
Both
baby Nevaeh - Heaven spelt backwards – is doing very well and enjoying
family life with her parents and and two older siblings.
