In a heartwarming yet comical twist during childbirth, a woman in Texas captured a memorable moment of her sister’s labor with a selfie that’s taken the internet by storm. While most delivery room photos focus on the joy and relief of new mothers cradling their newborns, Kat Ramirez chose to document a different scene—her sister’s intense struggle.
Kat Armendariz, who is eight years older than her sister, snapped the selfie with a wide grin while her sister, Lily, was in the throes of labor. The caption read, “SELFIE! While my sister is about to push out a baby!” Lily was welcoming her baby boy in El Paso over the weekend, and it appears that Kat was ready to capture every moment.
Having five children of her own, Kat humorously noted that the reason for the selfie is that it was finally Lily’s turn, as she had already experienced childbirth herself. “I did my time,” she told a reporter, adding that she had given birth just four months earlier. “My tubes are BURNED/CUT/TIED… no never again lol.” The memories of labor were still fresh in her mind.
Despite the potential for drama, Kat’s sister found the humor in the situation. “At first, she wasn’t in too much pain, so she thought it was pretty funny,” Kat explained. Once the labor pains kicked in, however, things changed. “Right when she was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t take this,’ I took the photo.”
While some social media users chided Kat for her timing, suggesting she might face Lily’s ire later, the overwhelming response was supportive and lighthearted. Comments ranged from “Congrats on becoming an aunt!” to playful jests about keeping the placenta handy for revenge.
Now, as a proud aunt, Kat is currently helping Lily with her newborn, Zayden, and has cheekily suggested taking another selfie during the baby’s first messy moment.
