Amy Schumer is looking back on 2019 with joy.
The 38-year-old comedian reflected on the past year and shared a nine-photo collage of her most treasured memories. Among selfies of herself on stage and pics of her posing with her husband, chef Chris Fischer, Schumer shared a never-before-seen photo of her 7-month-old son, Gene, that was snapped moments after he entered the world via cesarean section.
As you can see in the middle row of her collage to the left, the photo features a seconds old Gene. He’s crying, as babies do, and just about to meet his mom for the first time. It’s a special, intimate moment that Schumer hasn’t yet documented on social media.
She captioned the post with a short but sweet note: “It was a very good year.” Between the adorable pics of her and Gene, the giraffes she met, the on-set pic of her and Beanie Feldstein shooting The Humans and whatever’s happening in the bottom right corner, we have to agree.
Schumer was candid about her pregnancy experience from the very beginning, opening up about her hyperemesis gravidarum and what it was really like going into labor. As she told People, “Giving birth is the most terrifying thing that you’ll ever do that’s completely worth it,” she said. “Having a C-section was…my pregnancy was so hard, I was just ready to meet my son.”
Schumer was also quick to model her stretchy mesh “hospital underwear” on Instagram (she included a pic of them in the upper right-hand corner of her collage). She even opened up about how it felt returning to work after maternity leave.
Only time will tell what 2020 brings for Schumer and her family, but we bet many more photographs are on the horizon.
