There’s nothing quite as strong as the love a mother has for her child. A mother begins loving her baby before he is even born, and she can’t wait to catch her first glimpse of him from ultrasound images.

When South Carolina’s Sarah Kelleher Steppling was pregnant, she took one look at her 3D ultrasound and immediately fell in love. Months later, she welcomed her baby boy Michael into the world, and he has already become a huge viral sensation.

Though Michael is an adorable little baby, that’s not the reason behind his popularity. Photos of Michael went viral after Sarah discovered that he sleeps the exact same way he did in her ultrasound images!

“Pretty sure no one switched my baby at birth. Progress from 3 weeks left inside to 3 weeks on the outside,” Sarah wrote alongside the photos.

Sarah later explained that her baby loves to sleep.

“From day one, this kid knew how to relax,” she said after the pictures went viral. “He always slept with his hands up like that. If you were to go through my phone right now, you’d find probably about a million and a half images of him sleeping in that exact same position. One day, I thought to go back and look at his ultrasound pictures. I saw that one and was like, ‘OMG! He sleeps just like that now!’”

This mother is lucky to have such a beautiful and peaceful little boy! SHARE this story so your friends and family can see this as well!
