Having given birth to daughter Josephine James at the end of March, the actress is acutely aware of how special these everyday heroes are and wanted to make sure those who helped her bring the baby into the world know how much she appreciates them. So she shared a wonderful picture from that very special day on Instagram.

“We are so thankful for all the nurses working on the frontline. All of our nurses at UCLA [were] so incredible and we are beyond thankful for them helping bring JJ safely into the world,” she wrote in the caption alongside a picture of her family with the nurse who helped them.

“My nurse Katrina who helped me deliver was also pregnant. When she took off her mask for the picture I realized I didn’t know what she looked like, I said ‘That’s what you look like ?! Omg you’re gorgeous’ we had a good chuckle about it. Thank you to ALL of the nurses!!!!”
