Babies on Ice!

What is with all these zombies? As we all know, last week was Easter, or as its also known Zombie Jesus day. Now there's a story coming out of Argentina about a zombie child. Last week in Buenos Aires, a woman named Analia Bouter gave birth to a little girl 3 months premature. 20 minutes after birth, the little girl was declared dead and placed in a tiny coffin.
Pretty tragic start to things huh? Not to worry though. 12 hours later, Analia and her husband were allowed into the morgue to say goodbye. The grieving parents opened the coffin for a final look when they heard a cry and saw the girl move. After immediately voiding their bowels, the baby was rushed to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). The baby was ice cold.
This kept popping up when I searched for "ice" and "baby"
It has been a week since zombie girl returned from the dead and she's doing just fine. Like most premature kids, she will spend some time in the NICU as a shriveled rubber chicken before coming home. Interestingly, the hospital immediately issued a death certificate but has yet to issue a birth certificate. I think it would be hilarious to wait until she dies at the ripe old age of 88 to issue her birth certificate. It just seems fitting.
On a personal note, I can say from experience that being born premature can lead to awesomeness. My adorable precocious niece was born roughly 2 months premature. She spent several weeks in an incubator, as she was not finished cooking yet. Now, she is five years old and a superstar. She potty trained herself, speaks nine languages, ran the Boston Marathon, and is currently working on her Masters degree in applied polymerization techniques. She makes the rest of us look bad by comparison.
So it's not always bad to be born premature, declared dead, and then declared alive. Besides, zombie babies are cute.
