It Always Surprises Me

One day, in the past few months, I was working away in the NICU. An old seasoned NICU nurse. I have seen it all, pretty much done it all, and taught it all. Nothing surprises me. I was feeding a cute little girl who was born full term and was about three weeks old. I began to notice her listening to me, watching my eyes. Yes, I talk to all my babies. I sat her up and started really talking baby talk. Cooing, and gooing. Me. Not her...Well, guess what she did? She smiled at me, not once but several times. This old seasoned nurse who had done it all and not surprised by anything, ran to the door of her little room and yelled out for anyone who could hear, "THIS BABY JUST TOTALLY SMILED AT ME!!!!!" Everyone turned and looked at me like I had two heads, and I went back to my sweet baby and fed her bottle to her. She and I were happy...
