Haha! When I had my kid via c-section it was a nurse who was all "oh, should I take some pictures now? Just give me a camera or phone and I'll do it" and then it turns out that she got a picture just a bit too far above the screen.... so I now have pics of me looking at my kid and then one photo where you can see the doctors taking out my placenta. 😬
