Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, cool, here we go. It's another Murphy Sam
and Jody after the show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I want to clear something up.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
We've been talking this week all about and hearing from
you and all that taking phone calls about what not
to say to a woman when she is in labor
and in labor and delivery in the room and all that.
And we actually started that discussion, Murphy, because we were
talking about going to your nephew's wedding in June, and
you were like, oh, this is so full circle because.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You were in the delivery room when he was born
the first your sister.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's how it came up.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That is how it came up.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Well, and you know, when I was in the delivery room,
my sister was the first out of me and my
brother and sister to have children. And so obviously in
debt was before you and I were married, Jody. So
this was a I guess this was an example of
how people don't mean to do these kinds of things.
And you don't know, you don't you don't know. Yeah,
that's right, you don't know what you don't know. I
(00:52):
hadn't bet a dad before I had been in that room.
My spouse, you know, hadn't had none of that had happened.
So there I am standing and watching the contraction monitor
and this is nineteen ninety eight. Yeah, so I'm just
like all fascinated with you know, technology. Every single time
she gets a contraction, it's going to show up right here. Yeah,
And so I kept asking a question, did you feel that?
(01:13):
Did you feel that? And then didn't you?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
At some point say well, that one didn't look too bad.
And she's probably like getting daggerous, but.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, my sister is one of the most polite
people in the world. She never said anything until after.
In fact, it was really months after and they were
just kind of joking about it. Nobody said anything to
me in the room at that time, so I was
able to make a fool of myself probably for a
good couple of hourwesome.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, well, you know, I want to say a couple
of things. Number One, I know you so well and
she does too. We know you Murphy to be. You
don't you put your foot in your mouth a lot,
but you do it because you're so open and free
with your communication. You're not guarded, which is all so lovely.
It's why you say stuff that you shouldn't say around
(01:56):
people all the time, because you're never time, you're not well.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You don't mean inappropriate things. I don't see anything that's me.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yes, that's Sam No.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
But you're just so non guarded. It's a nice little
innocence about you. That's lovely. So it's okay, embrace it.
And we bring up the thing about you eating a
Snicker's bar in front of me when I was in
labor for Taylor and I had not eaten in like
six or seven hours.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, we hit it. We went in at three in
the morning and you didn't have Taylor until like six
that evening, and you just had to get a snicker Well,
it was probably mid day, honestly. It was probably running
back and forth, and I remember that being, you know,
insulin diabetic related that I needed to get some sugar.
But what I should not have been doing was leaning
up against her. Was here, I am trying to show
go now and I'm a foot away and it's like,
(02:41):
please get that away from me. I'm like, oh, yeah,
bad idea.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But look, we bring that up just because that's one story,
and I really don't that was not on my mind.
Having a Snickers Bar was not on my mind, you know,
having my baby in the way that I wanted to
have our baby was what was on my mind.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Sure, it still makes me oh for two at that point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
One story that you may not know.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I don't know that I've ever told you this from
us having Taylor from the hospital, is I labored all
day long. Yeah, and I don't remember what time I
was given that epidural, but.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It had that's a good question. It had to have
been done right before. Well, that's a good question. I
don't remember any of that now, whatever, I remember at
the point you were, you were laboring, it's like, Okay,
this is going to be a surgery now and you
know it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, well but make it.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I don't remember if we had decided it was going
to have to be emergency section there or not. But
I remember getting the epidural and everybody having to leave
the room but me and the nurse and the guy
who was giving me the epidural, and you had to
leave the room.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah. They don't let you hang around for that, right or.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They didn't then anyway, So I remember all.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The stories I hear about it. And from the guy's perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Is I don't want to you wouldn't want to hearing.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
About the noise and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, it makes a crazy noise. It's like, is there
a jackhammer going into my back?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Like you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's a weird sound and feeling. And for me being
a first time mother, I was very scared. And you
had to leave the room and so I was like,
oh this everything just got real serious, real quick. So
I'm holding onto this nurse and she told me hold
onto my hips right here, and I've leaned over and
they're escorting you out, not very successfully, because you keep
coming back.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
When I love you, it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You kept coming back being that doting husband, and I
know you meant this as you know, I'm with you.
It's okay that we're doing this together. You gave me
a picture of the two of us together to look
at while that thing was being jammed into my back.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, I do not that you gave me a picture
of us and you're like your baby, and you winked
at me and you walk out, and I'm thinking, seriously.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
This is what he gets me. I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It kind of was like oh, because I could almost
crumbled it. I was so nervous about what was happening.
But again, very sweet gesture. I do I do when
we start talk talking about all this, you know what
I mean. Of course, we still have the picture. I
think it was your wallet sized picture of us that
we had taken right before we got married at my
(05:09):
cousin Crystal's wedding.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I guess I was doing that to just try to
be being comforting, right exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They want you to be scared, and I do remember
that you actually, by that point you really were very nervous.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I was exciting when you.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Found out about that that those next steps. I could
see that in your face, and I guess I hadn't
seen that in your eyes before.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Look, the nurse could not have been better either, My God,
labor and delivery nurses, Praise them, man.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
They you know.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I remember the moment in that evening when we had
labored all day and they told me, okay, you need
to have a sea section. It was not what I
wanted to do, you know, all yeah, it was not
my plan. And she's like, no, the goal here is
And I started to cry when she said that, and
she said, Nope, the goal is healthy baby, healthy mother.
And as soon as she said it to me, like
(05:54):
that bullet pointed it for me, I was like, you're right,
let's go do this.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah. So they are also really expert at escorting those
out of the room when it's time to go, because
that's a tough you know. And I'm not talking about
where it's like obnoxious, there's ten people in the room
and okay, we need to clear the room. I'm talking
about that very difficult moment, just like what you were
experiencing there the first time couple going through this not
knowing that the epidural, the dad can't be present, the
husband can't be present, and you know, so their way
(06:22):
of escorting you out is also just very respectful, comforting
and hey, we've got this covered. This is not really
something you want to see dad, you know, but we'll
we'll get you right back in as soon as we're
done with it. And you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's that was always my experience, that great experience you
call that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Bedside manner, I suppose, And yeah, we were, you know,
with both girls, with Taylor and with Feedba.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, but you know, I was so as many first
time pregnant mamas are. I was so nervous of the unknown,
and yet such a little control freak that I was
also so sure of the way I wanted it to go.
Those two things don't go together. Wow, and childbirth you can.
You can plan all day long. Children come the way
they're coming.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, you know. Anyway, did he.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Give the picture to you again? For Phoebe?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He did not. We were a little bit more experienced.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I guess we were past it by that point.
