Instead of the usual glamorous shots, Shlesinger opted for a candid photo of herself devouring a giant sandwich while donning the infamous mesh underwear, with her newborn peacefully snoozing nearby. Her first order of business? Food! “I gave birth late at night (because that’s when I work), and there was no food available at 1:30 AM,” she recounted. “Noah went to a vending machine and came back with chips and cookies, basically prison commissary food. I think he paid for them in cigarettes. So this is me finally getting to eat a Bay Cities Godmother at noon the next day.”
She humorously noted, “Vaginal delivery mothers know why I’m eating sitting side saddle wearing exclusive Mesh Underwear for SS22.” Shlesinger also made it clear that while she wouldn’t be sharing her baby’s face, she plans to document her journey in a comedic, artistic, and spiritual way.
In a more serious tone, she expressed her awe at the birthing experience: “I had been dreaming of the moment they would pull her out and put her on my chest and I could look at her little face. I got what I came for. That perfect moment.” She praised all mothers, particularly those who give birth without epidurals or support.
According to reports, the 38-year-old comedian and her husband, Noah Galuten, welcomed their daughter, Sierra Mae, at 11:26 PM, weighing 7 lbs, 9 oz, and measuring 20 inches. In addition to the sandwich photo, Shlesinger shared images of their dog, Tian Fu, adjusting to the new family member, humorously noting her varying reactions.
Shlesinger also posted a candid video during labor, sharing her thoughts: “If men could feel this pain, you’d be a lot nicer to women,” and reflecting on the realities of childbirth.
