Katherine Heigl Shares Topless Pregnancy Pic

Katherine Heigl gave birth to her son, Joshua, a year ago, and she looked back on the happy occasion by posting a daring pic on Instagram. The former Grey's Anatomy star recalled having a scary c-section that ultimately delivered her little bundle of joy, making the whole ordeal more than worth it.

Katherine Heigl marked her son Joshua Jr.’s 1st birthday with a series of never-before-seen photos from inside the delivery room. 

In the first picture, a topless Heigl poses with one hand cradling her bare baby bump. It was the last photo she would take before heading to the hospital with her husband, Josh Kelley, for a scheduled cesarean.

At 9am one year ago today I had @joshbkelley take this photo of me so I could remember how incredibly pregnant I was right before we left for the hospital and my 12pm scheduled cesarean. Joshua Jr had been in the breech position for over a month and had still not moved an inch a week before his due date so I made the decision to have a cesarean and was incredibly nervous and a little scared this time last year. I had never been hospitalized or had ever had any kind of surgery and had no idea what to expect. The second photo is right before I went in for surgery. Trying to look cool, calm and collected! They numbed me up, gave me some morphine and opened me up. My doctor struggled to get him out because he was really wedged in there and not quite ready to leave the womb. When she finally pulled him out at exactly 12:33pm he didn’t start breathing and they worked quickly to get oxygen in him and start his tiny lungs. @joshbkelley was standing with them when he finally took his first breath. That day, as I slowly came out of the morphine haze and clutched my tiny man to me I thanked the heavens for his breath, his life and for making me a mother three times over. As evening settled in Josh and I got cozy in my hospital room, found one of my all time favorites #SweetHomeAlabama on the tv and just relished in our perfect newborn son. He was so tiny and new, so fragile and tender. As I lay him down to sleep that first night in his very appropriate “welcome to the world” sleep sack I thought the moment would last forever. Yet here we are, a whole year later and it’s only the photos that remind me my brute of a boy was ever so new and small! Now he’s 26 ponds of rolling, tumbling, grasping, giggling, shouting, curious, jolly energy! He is everything and more than I could have hoped for and he has brought our family even more joy, love, laughter, abundance, bliss and yes, exhaustion and exasperation too! It’s been a hell of a year and I could not be more grateful for it or him! Happy Birthday to my little man! Maybe I can make this next year go a little slower!

“I had never been hospitalized or had ever had any kind of surgery and had no idea what to expect,” Heigl shared in her Wednesday, December 20, post. The Doubt actress, 39, added she tried to “look cool, calm and collected” in the photo that was snapped right before she was wheeled into the operating room. 

“They numbed me up, gave me some morphine and opened me up. My doctor struggled to get him out because he was really wedged in there and not quite ready to leave the womb,” wrote Heigl. “When she finally pulled him out at exactly 12:33pm he didn’t start breathing and they quickly worked to get oxygen in him and start his tiny lungs. @joshbkelley was standing with them when he finally took his first breath.”

That evening, Heigl and Kelley, who are also parents of Naleigh, 8, and Adelaide, 5, settled in for a cozy night at the hospital with their newest addition. “Found one of my all favorites #SweetHomeAlabama on the tv and just relished in our perfect newborn son,” shared the Those Heavenly Days blogger. “He was so tiny and new, so fragile and tender. As I lay him down to sleep that first night in his very appropriate ‘welcome to the world’ sleep sack I thought the moment would last forever. Yet here we are a whole year later and it’s only the photos that remind me my brute of a boy was ever so new and small!”
