Zayne Alexander Caldwell was born 10 weeks early on January 30 at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Because of the early arrival, the little guy was kept in NICU at the hospital. Zayne’s mother confirmed that he was getting excellent care in the NICU. While a nurse was holding him his mother had a feeling that she had seen her somewhere else before that day.

She shared her views on the NICU nurses and said “NICU nurses are a special breed. They are all so caring and loving. They care for your baby as if it was their own. They do not get enough recognition.” Freydin shared that her fiancé David Caldwell was also born 6 weeks early back in 1986 and has to stay in the NICU for several weeks in the same hospital.

David now 33-years-old is a professional photographer and proud first-time father. David shared “I got the baby book out because I wanted to compare photos of me and Zayne as babies and in the NICU.” While going through the pictures Freydin shouted that she knew the women. While David had no clue what his fiancé was talking about.

While pointing at the picture of baby David and the nurse his fiancé asked who she was. Freydin shared “He confirmed that she was the nurse who took care of him during his stay in the NICU, and his mom loved her so much that she needed a photo of the two of them on the day he was discharged.”

Freydin then shared the reason why she knew the woman who was taking care of their baby. She told, “The reason I know her is because I swore she was the nurse that had been taking care of our baby boy for the past three days!” But David didn’t believe her but Freydin was excited that she finally knew how she knew the women.

David was still not believing her thus she asked him to get the picture back to the hospital and they confirmed with the other nurses about the nurse that was holding their baby. It turned out that Freydin was right and the nurse holding their baby was the same nurse who held David at the same NICU 33 years ago. The nurse is Lissa McGowan who has been working at the hospital for decades now.

When the couple was allowed to go to the NICU they requested the nurse to recreate the picture with their baby and she was more than happy to do it. The new mom shared “The past 2 weeks have been filled with worries and uncertainty but we can breathe easy knowing my lil nuggets nurse is the same one that helped the man I love when he was in the same situation.” The post was shared and liked by many. Little Zayne and nurse McGowan is getting love from all over.
