Speaker 1: Apod Shape Production.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Behind the Drapes. I'm your host, Brent Draper
Speaker 2: aka Drakes, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Shanlee Draper, and we're here to talk about stuff according
Speaker 1: to us.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, it's Draper here.
Speaker 1: And I was naked on the Golkos Highway.
Speaker 2: Yah, buddy, there's made to give birth. You are a
Speaker 2: strong woman, ye little Ripper. We're in season two. We
Speaker 2: have a little addition now to the family.
Speaker 1: We had a baby.
Speaker 2: Had a baby.
Speaker 1: He actually has a name too. His name is Bowie.
Speaker 2: His name is Bowie. We've obviously told the story of
Speaker 2: Alfie's birth in season one, how I nearly delivered it. Well,
Speaker 2: it nearly happened again.
Speaker 1: And just to be clear, we're not a birthing podcast,
Speaker 1: even though we've nexpect about birth a couple of times.
Speaker 1: We had a lot of people messaging about Alfie's birthing story.
Speaker 1: Last time we had people messaging as saying they were
Speaker 1: pissing themselves laughing driving to work looking like a bit
Speaker 1: of a maniac because they were laughing so hard in
Speaker 1: the car on their own listening to the episode. So
Speaker 1: we thought, well, that was a good episode, and that
Speaker 1: was a good story, and this one's gonna be even better.
Speaker 2: So I think this tops that do Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think so.
Speaker 1: I think better than being maked on the highway.
Speaker 2: Ah, this one, I don't know. It's a bit different.
Speaker 2: Once again, we left it too late and little Bowie
Speaker 2: was a bit Let's talk.
Speaker 1: About the homebirthy home birth. So the story with why
Speaker 1: we decided to have Bowie at home was because I
Speaker 1: was a part of a midwife program in Tweed and
Speaker 1: it was amazing. The midwife were beautiful, everything was going
Speaker 1: really well. But I had always had this feeling that
Speaker 1: I really want to have baby at home, just because
Speaker 1: I don't like hospitals. And it's not like a crazy phobia,
Speaker 1: but it's certainly like if I can avoid it, like
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see someone hospitals had a baby,
Speaker 1: like I'll wait till you get home kind of thing.
Speaker 1: I'm not into hospital at all. So I had thought
Speaker 1: about homebirth a lot, but hadn't really considered actually doing it.
Speaker 1: I remember when we moved to Potty having our friends
Speaker 1: over and our friend Josh, who's probably listening, he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know where you gonna have the baby? And I
Speaker 1: was like, tweet, I'd love to have a home birth,
Speaker 1: and he was like, what, no way, Like you could
Speaker 1: not do that. And I remember saying, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to, but like I would like to. So
Speaker 1: that was my intuition, sort of talking then saying I
Speaker 1: might like to explore this, but I kind of parked
Speaker 1: that idea.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We went to the hospital for the first hospital visit
Speaker 1: that we had. I've been seeing the midwivest for a while.
Speaker 1: I was twenty something weeks think maybe twenty five weeks
Speaker 1: or something, went for a check up, all is well,
Speaker 1: and we just so happened to have a midwife who
Speaker 1: talked to us about the fact that she also was
Speaker 1: a home birthing midwife or had been maybe in the past,
Speaker 1: and I think she maybe even had her own bedby. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that just came up naturally in conversation. My little
Speaker 1: ears pricked up, and I remember just sitting there going like,
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. I don't really want
Speaker 1: to have a baby in this hospital. Nothing wrong between hospital,
Speaker 1: but I was just like, this just does not feel
Speaker 1: like it's for me. The whole thing.
Speaker 2: You were like, oh, we have to walk upstairs. How
Speaker 2: am I going to walk upstairs? When I'm babies coming
Speaker 2: out and you already ripping the idea? Do I believe? Internally,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: You're I already had a planned no, But it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: Tweet hospital, it's an absolute shit fight to park at
Speaker 1: number one. It's a really old hospital. Just hospitals and me.
Speaker 1: We just don't go well together. It's just not my jam.
Speaker 1: So I remember thinking and like long hallways and yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, like you know, stairs and no elevator, and like,
Speaker 1: what if I'm really really far along, like I was
Speaker 1: at the Alphie last time, and I have to come
Speaker 1: to the hospital and I don't know where to go.
Speaker 1: And I just felt like the whole thing was quite
Speaker 1: stressful and not streamlined. It probably would have been on
Speaker 1: the day, but for me, you didn't feel like that.
Speaker 1: And what I know about birth and hypno birthing is
Speaker 1: that you know, the calmer you are, the better things
Speaker 1: can turn out. And I had that in the back
Speaker 1: of my head. So when online I did all the research,
Speaker 1: I understood that you need to have an endorse midwife.
Speaker 1: I hadn't told you at this point, but I was
Speaker 1: just thinking about it. It came maybe a week later
Speaker 1: and I said to you, HEYDL. I kind of am
Speaker 1: thinking about having a home birth, and you literally were like,
Speaker 1: fucking here we go. And I was like, I think
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, and you're like, right,
Speaker 1: it's your body, you decide what you want to do.
Speaker 1: And you were really really supportive, which you know doesn't
Speaker 1: surprise me. What did you think when I said that
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 2: You want to have went out on a bloody field
Speaker 2: of daisies, then you have it on field days because
Speaker 2: you're the one who's pushing the baby out. I'll be
Speaker 2: supporting you from the sidelines wherever you want to do that.
Speaker 2: So if you want to have it at home, and
Speaker 2: I understand why you want to have it at home,
Speaker 2: you know, in the calm birth. I didn't know really
Speaker 2: much about home births, but I was like, hey, you
Speaker 2: want to have it there, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's give a crack. So that's what we did. So
Speaker 1: I got to work. I did some research. I found
Speaker 1: an amazing midwife who worked out of Lennox Heads and
Speaker 1: she said to me. I called her and she was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not really taking any clients on for that particular
Speaker 1: timeframe at the moment because I'm going away to a
Speaker 1: conference around then, and I was like, oh, I'm joining
Speaker 1: the eleventh of November and she said, yeah, I'm going
Speaker 1: on the sixteenth. And I was like, don't worry, love,
Speaker 1: I would have had my baby by there.
Speaker 2: Oh, we are having this baby a thirty.
Speaker 1: Eight weeks absolutely, thirty eight five weeks. It's coming.
Speaker 2: I've got things planned that I actually miss out on it,
Speaker 2: which I will bring up very soon. But yeah. We
Speaker 2: were like, that's fine, the baby.
Speaker 1: Will be here.
Speaker 2: The baby will be here.
Speaker 1: And she said the same thing. She's like, you'll have
Speaker 1: your baby before I go off through it. And she
Speaker 1: accepted the job, which was amazing. Then we had a
Speaker 1: series of midwife appointments where the midwives come to your
Speaker 1: home and legally you have to have two endorse midwives
Speaker 1: at your birth, so you know, it's all you know, legally,
Speaker 1: you sign the paperwork. Obviously you pay a private fee
Speaker 1: to have a baby at home. You know. It's certainly
Speaker 1: not a cheap exercise, however, for us, worth every cent,
Speaker 1: and I think that these midwives don't get paid enough
Speaker 1: for what they do, Like they're phenomenal. The care that
Speaker 1: we've had through this whole experience has just been next level.
Speaker 1: We haven't had to leave our house. We literally have
Speaker 1: not had to leave the house in terms of any
Speaker 1: of the appointments anything with bullies check.
Speaker 2: Ups, the appointments are you know, we're both sitting on
Speaker 2: We're all sitting on the lounge and everyone's relaxed and
Speaker 2: having a coffee and talking about what's going to happen
Speaker 2: all this or it's well worth.
Speaker 1: It's amazing and also very educational, Like these women know
Speaker 1: their staff, They're very, very good at what they do.
Speaker 1: The whole way through the pregnancy, I was very excited
Speaker 1: to have my baby at home. I didn't really tell anyone,
Speaker 1: like I kind of kept it to myself. Not because
Speaker 1: I thought people would judge me, because I don't really
Speaker 1: care too much about that, but I just didn't want
Speaker 1: people to give me their opinions. I think that was
Speaker 1: more it.
Speaker 2: You were covering. You were going like blinkers on because
Speaker 2: you knew that outside noise you might start a second
Speaker 2: guess yourself or question why are you actually doing this?
Speaker 1: Cut to the chase and the story of how the
Speaker 1: birth unfolded.
Speaker 2: Well, hang on, whoa woah, were you jumped? You've jumped
Speaker 2: a bigger fucking occasion, haven't you. I still haven't gotten
Speaker 2: over yet.
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's all about you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is thirty eight weeks this baby was supposed
Speaker 2: to come. That's what we've done. And I've you know,
Speaker 2: I've had things coming up, you know, just one Master
Speaker 2: Sheef bloody four or three months ago. But I also
Speaker 2: had locked and loaded dinner with Jamie Oliver And it
Speaker 2: doesn't come around very often. This occasion, like this opportunity
Speaker 2: to have dinner with the person you've looked up to
Speaker 2: and and what date was it that was actually on
Speaker 2: the due date?
Speaker 1: Eleventh in November is when you were supposed to be
Speaker 1: having dinner with Jail. Then we were like, there's no
Speaker 1: way he can go. We're gonna have the baby by then.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So like it's the morning of and s John's
Speaker 2: even looking at plane flights down there, quick one down,
Speaker 2: quick one back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm thinking, well, baby, it's definitely not coming now.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm in labor, you know, Oh
Speaker 1: I'm going to be in labor anytime soon. So we
Speaker 1: were driving out to Grit Ceramics for you to buy
Speaker 1: some stuff from her sale, and I was like, you
Speaker 1: might be able to just go down to do a
Speaker 1: cheeky flight home dull because I think everything's going to
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 2: I actually cracked a beer and I was talking to Harry,
Speaker 2: who's a Master Chef contestant as well, and next in
Speaker 2: it you come out and you looked a little bit off,
Speaker 2: and I was like, what's going on? And I hate
Speaker 2: this word, well these two words. It's kind of freaking
Speaker 2: out a little bit. But you're like, babe, I just
Speaker 2: lost my mucus plug. And I was like, oh, mucus plug, Okay,
Speaker 2: what does that mean?
Speaker 1: And it was sweltering hot. You were trying to buy
Speaker 1: all these plates. You were waiting for some plates to
Speaker 1: come there.
Speaker 2: They're still just grinding them for me and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Alfie's in the car because it's so hot, watching an iPad.
Speaker 1: I'm like sort of sitting there going like I feel
Speaker 1: a little bit like weird. I don't know something's happening.
Speaker 1: And I felt like a bit of tightening in my belly.
Speaker 1: And I went to the toilet and yes, there was
Speaker 1: the plug. And I was like, oh, right, okay, we
Speaker 1: come up with something better than that. It's pretty gross.
Speaker 2: Can we come with like the bath plug or something
Speaker 2: on that bath plug something.
Speaker 1: It is what it is, it's come on, and I
Speaker 1: remember going like I didn't lose mom with the Elfie said,
Speaker 1: this is what it is. Okay, something's happening. This is
Speaker 1: really good. Oh it's the eleventh of November. Also, my
Speaker 1: baby's going to come on its due date. That's like
Speaker 1: one in you know, a million chants. That actually happening.
Speaker 1: How cool. Oh and also luckily Draper didn't book those
Speaker 1: flats to see Jamie Oliver because I'm gonna have a
Speaker 1: baby today. So that's where I was at on the
Speaker 1: eleventh of November. So we went and did quick mac
Speaker 1: Is run. On the way home, I felt some movements.
Speaker 1: I felt like things were kind of gonna happen. Definitely
Speaker 1: felt a little bit. I just felt different my body.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is really good, Draper. Everybody saying
Speaker 1: to me had my fillet of ficial like cool last meal,
Speaker 1: you know, before you have your baby. And then and
Speaker 1: then everything stopped. We go home and everything stopped, and
Speaker 1: I was like, nothing's happening, and You're like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? So nothing happened after you didn't book a
Speaker 1: flight and unfortunately, I'm so sorry you didn't go exhame
Speaker 1: Mi allover his dinner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the dinner was in Sydney.
Speaker 1: I still a little bit sad about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, still hurt. Anyway, I know that this baby was
Speaker 2: teaching me patients.
Speaker 1: It was so fast forward. We went another week and
Speaker 1: a bit. At this point, I'm now forty one and one,
Speaker 1: and it was one of those things like mentally where
Speaker 1: I feel like I couldn't quite let go, which is
Speaker 1: funny because I knew that I had to, you know,
Speaker 1: I had to be calm. I had to get my
Speaker 1: body in like a relaxed state. But we had Alphie
Speaker 1: right and I kept thinking he's going to be in
Speaker 1: the house and I'd already prepped him for the fact
Speaker 1: that he might hear some sounds in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night if I go into labor, and like, I'd
Speaker 1: explain this sounds and he was like, so, mum, what
Speaker 1: kind of sounds? And I was like, you know, like
Speaker 1: a low grumbling side of sound. He was like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean. I was like like a or like
Speaker 1: a like a low girl. And he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think that had scared me. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, now I'm like scaring you. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: you won't be scared. It's fine, everything's okay. I'm not
Speaker 1: in pain. But it might just sound a bit funny.
Speaker 1: So I'd prepped him thinking that was the right thing
Speaker 1: to do. Well, it wasn't the right thing to do
Speaker 1: because I'd said to him, do you want to be
Speaker 1: there when we had the baby, you know, in the bedroom?
Speaker 1: Do you want to be there with mum? Or do
Speaker 1: you want to go to non on Pappy's house? And
Speaker 1: he was like, absolutely not, I want to go to
Speaker 1: non in Pappy's house. I don't want to hear those sounds.
Speaker 1: And also I don't want to see the baby because
Speaker 1: the baby will be very chummy, which he means chubby.
Speaker 1: The baby will be very chummy and very bloody because
Speaker 1: he's seen his own birth. But we had him home.
Speaker 1: I just felt like that was holding me back a
Speaker 1: little bit mentally because I was worried about him.
Speaker 2: Funny enough, he went to not On Puppies and then
Speaker 2: the next morning you started to feel very similar to
Speaker 2: when you lost the mucus plug.
Speaker 1: Yes, the mucus plug. I'd said to you, Drapes, I
Speaker 1: think Alfie needs to go, and when he goes, I
Speaker 1: think I'll go into labor and you're like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what you said last week. I was like, nah, I
Speaker 1: reckon that this is going to happen. He just needs
Speaker 1: to just be looked after and so I don't have
Speaker 1: to stress, and then I think I'll go into labor,
Speaker 1: and I did.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: I woke up the morning of it was Sunday, and
Speaker 1: we didn't have Alfie in the house. It was really quiet.
Speaker 1: I definitely woke up feeling a bit like disappointed because
Speaker 1: I was like, he's a crisis baby, like forty one
Speaker 1: and one, like I'm done now. But I remember saying
Speaker 1: to you, I feel like I got some crampies going on.
Speaker 1: And I'd said to you for like a week that
Speaker 1: I had cramps a little bit, and so you were
Speaker 1: sick of hearing at this point and at this point.
Speaker 2: Time I got some cramps going I'm like, yeah, you were, so,
Speaker 2: baby's never going to come out ever, I fell.
Speaker 1: We're feeling we were we were feeling like this.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't wait for Christmas. You're gonna be
Speaker 2: pregnant still fifty seven weeks, just.
Speaker 1: Like the world record for the longest pregnancy. I actually
Speaker 1: google that river. Anyway, we were really over it by
Speaker 1: this point and just wanted the baby to be here
Speaker 1: so desperately. I did not feel like that was alfie.
Speaker 1: I felt like he popped up and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh cool, I just finished work, you know, Whereas we
Speaker 1: turned down a lot of work in November to have
Speaker 1: this baby. Nineteen days into the month, we're still waiting,
Speaker 1: so it felt really hard. So you're surfing, and I
Speaker 1: remember looking out to you and thinking like, if I
Speaker 1: start to feel things coming on really quickly, I'll have
Speaker 1: to like wave to him. I could see you out there,
Speaker 1: and I'm going, okay, cool, I'm feeling stuff, but I
Speaker 1: don't want to get too excited. So I just sort
Speaker 1: of stood and rocked for a while on the beach,
Speaker 1: and then you came out, like maybe less than an
Speaker 1: hour later, and I said to you, I think we
Speaker 1: need to go home, like I think something might be happening,
Speaker 1: and you were like, right, oak, cool, awesome, let's do it.
Speaker 1: So we get home. And what did you de start
Speaker 1: to do when we get home.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought that it was going to take ages,
Speaker 2: a lot of thinking going on, a lot of thinking
Speaker 2: and a lot of logic. When you start, it's normally
Speaker 2: like twelve hours or sixteen hours or something.
Speaker 1: You an OBSTTRICI where are you getting miss stats on these?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just listening to all the stories from all
Speaker 2: your friends, and they're all about that, So I'm just
Speaker 2: just going off that, right. So I built a ramp
Speaker 2: because our stairs is such a stuff around. Our stairs
Speaker 2: sort of go down like normal stairs, and then they
Speaker 2: sort of come back up again to the driveway, and
Speaker 2: you know, we've got a pran that we've got to
Speaker 2: push out, and so I thought I'd build this beautiful,
Speaker 2: nice little ramp. And so you were inside rolling around
Speaker 2: on your ball, and I was outside just fixing this
Speaker 2: ramp up, getting it ready.
Speaker 1: Because you won't fixing it, you're building it from scratch.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then so then you know baby's born and
Speaker 2: you can out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you're thinking, like the baby's gonna come that night,
Speaker 1: if I'm going to labor. I'm inside and I'm on
Speaker 1: the ball, and I'm moving around doing all the things
Speaker 1: that I know I'm supposed to do. When you start
Speaker 1: to feel.
Speaker 2: Some cran Honestly, I don't know why, but I didn't
Speaker 2: think babies were born in the day. I just thought,
Speaker 2: for some reason they were always born at.
Speaker 1: Night at eight thirty in the morning, you mean going
Speaker 1: to labor. Yeah, I thought that, I didn't think.
Speaker 2: So think again. Another midwife has put in that, like,
Speaker 2: because you relax at night and you start.
Speaker 1: To go into all these things you thoughtacked opposite what exactly?
Speaker 2: So then I'm like, it won't hap until tonight. So
Speaker 2: I've got heats of time to build this ramp.
Speaker 1: So you're outside building the ramp. I'm inside. I'm you know,
Speaker 1: on the ball, doing my thing. Nothing was really happening
Speaker 1: at this point. This is about let's say about eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: would you.
Speaker 2: Say, I would say about eleven thirty because eleven thirty
Speaker 2: I actually wrung the midwife and said, I think it's
Speaker 2: going to be tonight or today or tonight whatever, because
Speaker 2: they're a lot more serious than what they've been the cramps,
Speaker 2: and that they've gone the next next level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's obvious now that I feel and feel something.
Speaker 1: But also when you have a home birth, you've got
Speaker 1: to give you midwives the heads up. It's not like
Speaker 1: the hospital week and just rock up whenever. You've got
Speaker 1: to tell them, hey, you need to know what's going on,
Speaker 1: because I need you to come to me at some
Speaker 1: point today. And these midwives don't just have me as
Speaker 1: a client. They've got other people, other mummers to deal
Speaker 1: with as well.
Speaker 2: And it's like that's a big responsibility put on my shoulders.
Speaker 2: What was the timing, Like, I think I had to
Speaker 2: make sure midwife was.
Speaker 1: Known, finished building the ramp.
Speaker 2: No, the ram was done. I had to pump the pooler. True,
Speaker 2: you just feel the pool. You wanted it film, So
Speaker 2: I to make sure that it was all in the
Speaker 2: world and time that the water is still body temperature
Speaker 2: when you're getting in, and so if I put it
Speaker 2: into early, you'll go cold. And then how do I
Speaker 2: dump the water around and get more warm water in?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you did have a few jobs, and then.
Speaker 2: The midwife's not here yet, Like I could filled the
Speaker 2: pool up and you're not gonna have the baby for
Speaker 2: another four hours? Yeah, and then what do I do
Speaker 2: for that cold water? You know?
Speaker 1: It's the timing is Yeah, there's a lot a lot
Speaker 1: to do with timing. And you have a home birth,
Speaker 1: I think because it's not a traditional hospital setting where
Speaker 1: you just and everything happens and there's ten staff helping
Speaker 1: you or ten midwife. Sorry, you're just on your own
Speaker 1: until pretty much the eleventh hour when you're told to
Speaker 1: give them a call. So you're right, you did have
Speaker 1: a few jobs to do. And also what other job.
Speaker 2: Did you have?
Speaker 1: Oh, you also had to make the bed. You had
Speaker 1: to sandwich the bed. So because you're at home, you
Speaker 1: don't have all the kind of like disposable sheep bedding
Speaker 1: or shit. Yeah, you've got like your own stuff. So
Speaker 1: I had like beautiful linen, which my midwife said to me, hey,
Speaker 1: this linen on your bed, Like with one of the
Speaker 1: visits they'd gone, this linen on your bed. You actually
Speaker 1: might not be able to have that on the day
Speaker 1: because you don't want to get a damage. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's all fine, we'll sort it out. We'll get you know,
Speaker 1: cheap stuff or whatever. So you had a job of
Speaker 1: stripping the bed and making sure the bed.
Speaker 2: Don't want to strip it too early because if I
Speaker 2: strip it too early then mentally she'll be like is
Speaker 2: it happening? And now it's not that I'm like.
Speaker 1: So get to eleventh thirty you've called the midwife and said, hey,
Speaker 1: giving the heads up Sean, is you know I think
Speaker 1: she's in labor. It's very very early. Don't stress out,
Speaker 1: just so you know you might need to be here tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah. All good, And she said, Okay, I've just been
Speaker 2: at a berth all night. I've just had a couple
Speaker 2: of hours sleep. I'll start cruising up your way. I'll
Speaker 2: go and get lunch at Byron. Give me a call
Speaker 2: if it gets any more serious.
Speaker 1: I basically keep you posted.
Speaker 2: Right now, I am like chilled. Everything's going good. You're
Speaker 2: very chilled.
Speaker 1: Like second baby, you know, I'm actually excited at this
Speaker 1: point because I'm thinking, okay, I happened sweet. So I
Speaker 1: went upstairs and I said, can you grab my ball?
Speaker 1: We went upstairs and I put Gilmore Girls on because
Speaker 1: it makes me feel calm because I know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen next.
Speaker 2: So there's no I hate so much.
Speaker 1: Leave Rory alone. She's a nice lady. So had my
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls on. Yes, I've watched the whole series, like, honestly,
Speaker 1: probably ten times in the past. I know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen. That's why I wanted to watch it. So
Speaker 1: HAWD on my laptop. I'm on my ball, and then
Speaker 1: I obviously had you know, hypno birth in music and
Speaker 1: all those things I put some Oh, I think you
Speaker 1: might have put some clary stage in the diffuse.
Speaker 2: I like we're doing all I did all this on
Speaker 2: the sly. We've closed the blind so getting scenes and yeah,
Speaker 2: all this behind the scene that you just didn't know
Speaker 2: I was doing.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm bouncing on the ball and I remember Gilmore
Speaker 1: Girls are on, and it gets to about twelve ish
Speaker 1: twelve thirty, and I've kind of just gone, yeah, now
Speaker 1: this is really happening. Now, like I'm doing my breathing
Speaker 1: and I've.
Speaker 2: Just shucked my laptop. I just want to make sure
Speaker 2: everyone knows these times. So eleven thirty I rung the
Speaker 2: midwife Jen where everyone's chilled, and she's going to get
Speaker 2: lunch at Byron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she also lives forty five minutes away.
Speaker 2: Now it's twelve.
Speaker 1: It's about twelve to twelve thirty. I've closed my up
Speaker 1: with thought, oh, I can't watch Gilmore Girls anymore. They
Speaker 1: actually give me the ick. And then I put my
Speaker 1: hypno birth in music on and so here it is again, Draper,
Speaker 1: your favorite music that we listened to in the house
Speaker 1: the whole way through my pregnancy.
Speaker 2: Your body was made to give birth.
Speaker 1: You are a strong woman.
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus must be getting close. Now it's the.
Speaker 1: Last time you can have to listen to it. So
Speaker 1: I put that on and I'm breathing through and I'm
Speaker 1: listening to all the hypno birthing things, and I remember
Speaker 1: going like, yeah, this is definitely on now cool, I'm
Speaker 1: really excited. Being on the ball was really pushing me.
Speaker 1: Like being on the ball felt really come to I'm like,
Speaker 1: why is this like kind of not I don't want
Speaker 1: to be here, Like the pressure is too intense on
Speaker 1: the ball. So I kind of got up walked over,
Speaker 1: and I had said to you before I went into labor,
Speaker 1: can you just get a few like photos and videos
Speaker 1: of the birth if it's appropriate, you know, like I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure I document a little bit
Speaker 1: of it and just have it because you never know
Speaker 1: what it kind of looks like. You're like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: worries it all. So little did I know, And unbeknownst
Speaker 1: to me until the next day, you had actually taken
Speaker 1: a photo of me and kind of filmed a couple
Speaker 1: of the surges that I was having on I call
Speaker 1: them surges the contractions, and so one of them was
Speaker 1: over the bed, and I remember this one so distinctly
Speaker 1: because I remember being over the bed, pushing down the bed,
Speaker 1: breathing and thinking, oh, this feel is really intense. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm seeing things are moving pretty quickly. But my initial
Speaker 1: reaction to that moving quickly was to get in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: which is what I did when I had Alfie. So
Speaker 1: I went into the bathroom and I closed the door,
Speaker 1: and you were sitting on the chair watching me. You
Speaker 1: put the tens machine on my back. I started like
Speaker 1: pressing the tens machine, which was so amazing. If I
Speaker 1: can recommend anything in birth, it's a Tens machine. It
Speaker 1: is so amazing. Let's be real, you have no control
Speaker 1: in birth. You have no control with what's going on
Speaker 1: with your body, how you feel, but you can definitely
Speaker 1: control this little tens machine in your hand and give
Speaker 1: yourself these little electrodes in your It gives you a zap,
Speaker 1: It gives your full zap. It kind of hurts, but
Speaker 1: it's like it's meant to apparently take the pain away
Speaker 1: from the other area and put it in your back,
Speaker 1: or like at least make your brain think that the
Speaker 1: pain's not happening.
Speaker 2: Like when we're kids and you'd fall off a bike,
Speaker 2: can scratch your knee and you're like, ahmnein you mate,
Speaker 2: just cork your arm. And then you're like, oh my,
Speaker 2: exactly right, do you forget about the knee?
Speaker 1: Exactly that's what it's supposed to do, but like, let's
Speaker 1: be real, you ain't forgetting about the pain that you're feeling.
Speaker 2: Sure, So, like the lists of my jobs right now,
Speaker 2: you're giving birth. I'm making sure the light is great.
Speaker 2: I'm the videographer. I'm the pool inflator. You're the photographer,
Speaker 2: that photographer, the overall organizer. You put a tens machine
Speaker 2: on me, tens machine. I'm the sound director. I'm the
Speaker 2: communicator between the two parties. The list goes on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm the baker. Okay, we'll get to that, but this
Speaker 2: is about the time.
Speaker 1: So at twelve thirty, I've closed the door. Afterwards, you
Speaker 1: said to me, once you closed the door, babe, I
Speaker 1: was like, fuck, we're on here. Like she's put herself
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. I've closed the door. I want to
Speaker 1: be on my own. I'm not talking at this point.
Speaker 1: And the midwives had said to us so many times
Speaker 1: throughout these meetings. When she stops talking. That is the
Speaker 1: point that you call us, because it means that she's
Speaker 1: probably very far into active labor. You know, you've had
Speaker 1: a baby already, and you had him over seven or
Speaker 1: eight hours. This one might come quicker, so let us
Speaker 1: know and give us a bit of warning. So you
Speaker 1: thought that you'd given them the warning. But because I
Speaker 1: stopped talking very very quickly, by twelve thirty, I was
Speaker 1: not talking. I was hiding myself in the bathroom. All
Speaker 1: I said to you was put the ball in here. Remember,
Speaker 1: I was like, give you the ball, and you put
Speaker 1: the ball into the bathroom. I closed the door.
Speaker 2: So then I called the midwife and she's like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm going to not do lunch and I'll make my
Speaker 2: way out there now. So that's a second phone call,
Speaker 2: and that's about quarter to one, and I've got the
Speaker 2: time on my phone. I film myself. I actually filmed
Speaker 2: it because I thought this would be a funny moment
Speaker 2: for a podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, But I thought it on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought it'd be just a brief, little moment.
Speaker 3: So Sean's just going into labor, and I thought it
Speaker 3: was a perfect time to come down and cook some bread,
Speaker 3: you know, the beautiful smell of bread while she's to labor.
Speaker 3: I'm just guessing it would be good.
Speaker 4: But maybe when she's sort of, you know, the baby's out,
Speaker 4: some beautiful fresh sourdough. I think if I was pregnant,
Speaker 4: that's what I would want to I was going to
Speaker 4: try that.
Speaker 2: Okay, so ready recap off times again. Eleven thirty. I
Speaker 2: first ring the nurse. Everything's chilled. One I ring the
Speaker 2: nurse again and say you might need to make your
Speaker 2: way up here. One thirty sourdough goes into the oven.
Speaker 2: Now I walk up and I open the door, and
Speaker 2: I have gone holy, it's coming very quick. So you
Speaker 2: had blood down your leg.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what happened for me in that time was
Speaker 1: I was on the ball on my own. The door
Speaker 1: was shut. If you've had a baby, you will understand
Speaker 1: this what I'm about to say. But you feel a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure in your bum basically, And I've felt
Speaker 1: that before, Like I felt that with Elfie. And I'm thinking, right, okay,
Speaker 1: there's pressure in my bum. I need to push where
Speaker 1: the fuck is everyone. I did the same thing I
Speaker 1: did with Elfie. Had my eyes closed. It must be
Speaker 1: like a defense mechanism. So I couldn't see anything. I
Speaker 1: had no idea what was going on around me. I
Speaker 1: didn't know I Dre Bull was there. I could feel
Speaker 1: no energy around me, and I couldn't hear anyone. By
Speaker 1: the way, the music was off by then, Like I'm
Speaker 1: not doing any hypnobothing now, No, I'm just breathing. There
Speaker 1: was no sound. It was so quiet. And then I've
Speaker 1: been thinking, why do I need to push? Hang on,
Speaker 1: I've only just gone to labor. I can't be pushing yet.
Speaker 1: Where the fuck is everyone? And also, hang on, I'm
Speaker 1: on my favorite cream runner, this beautiful cream carpet runner
Speaker 1: in the bathroom, and I'm gonna have the baby on
Speaker 1: the runner and it's gonna ruin. It's gonna be blood
Speaker 1: on the runner. And as I think that, I feel
Speaker 1: this huge amount of pressure and I push my water's
Speaker 1: brake and this blood because I remember feeling something and
Speaker 1: just slightly open my eyes a little bit and looked
Speaker 1: down and I see there's red, and I'm going, yep,
Speaker 1: there's my runner gone.
Speaker 2: And so that's when I walk in and open the
Speaker 2: door and I'm like, did you have the baby? Like
Speaker 2: in my head, I'm like, she must have already had
Speaker 2: the baby, because like there's like blood everywhere and whatnot
Speaker 2: and anyway, then I realized, no, there's still a big
Speaker 2: belly there, so there's a baby still there. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: so I just shut the door again and I go Jen,
Speaker 2: she's having the baby. And then as calm as Jen is,
Speaker 2: she's like for me to okay, brand, there'll probably be
Speaker 2: a baby there before I get there. I'm stuck in Byron.
Speaker 2: I'm about twenty five minutes away. About ten minutes ago,
Speaker 2: I started filling the pool up too. I've thought this
Speaker 2: is the time I need to put it up. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be nice and warm. I remember this zone. This
Speaker 2: moment is when I first when you were having Alfie
Speaker 2: and I was lifting you off the toilet and taking
Speaker 2: you down the hallway. I'm now feeling that moment again.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I have to fucking deliver
Speaker 2: another baby.
Speaker 1: We're at home and no one's there.
Speaker 2: This is next level. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, this is it. Jen believes
Speaker 2: in me. I'm just gonna do it. I knew they're
Speaker 2: on the way, but I knew that that was twenty
Speaker 2: five minutes away and you were already pushing. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: Sean is like starting to push.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So for me, that's the most vocal I felt.
Speaker 1: I felt like I'm in the bathroom and I'm really like,
Speaker 1: I felt quite loud, like I was making.
Speaker 2: Those oh yeah, the neighbors were hearing it. You were
Speaker 2: letting rip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I wasn't like. It wasn't like scream. It's
Speaker 1: an agony. It's just a low. It's a primal sound.
Speaker 2: Like this is like deep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I'll bring back all the fields.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I remember doing that and thinking, yeah, but I can't
Speaker 1: have the baby yet because in the midway's not here.
Speaker 1: I said to you, where's the.
Speaker 2: Midwhile I open up the door again, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: she's five minutes away. Five minutes, she's twenty five minutes away.
Speaker 2: I am like five minutes. She's like, I need to
Speaker 2: get in the pool. How long has that got? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh fuck that. Twenty minutes. Five minutes. Still,
Speaker 2: five minutes you can get in the pool. And five
Speaker 2: minut and it's Jen's going to be here. For some reason,
Speaker 2: I grabbed some ice and put on neck and she's like, uh,
Speaker 2: get away.
Speaker 1: Because I was so hot. So by this point you
Speaker 1: could see I had sweat beads all over me. I
Speaker 1: was on the ball, and I felt like, this is
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing. I didn't have this with alf. I
Speaker 1: felt like I had full electricity and energy going through
Speaker 1: my whole body. It wasn't like a shaking, It was
Speaker 1: like a full body vibration. Every bit of energy in
Speaker 1: my body was moving around. It sounds so weird.
Speaker 2: Your arms and everything.
Speaker 1: Was just everything was like fully vibrating. I'm on this ball,
Speaker 1: and you know yourself, like an exercise ball, if you're
Speaker 1: on it for too long and you're trying to keep stable,
Speaker 1: you are already moving. I was standing up, bending over it,
Speaker 1: but I could just feel everything in me was just
Speaker 1: this strong, powerful energy. And I'm thinking, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: the baby in the bathroom. There's no way I'm making
Speaker 1: it to the pool. I'm definitely gonna have it right here.
Speaker 1: And then you told me you were there, but I
Speaker 1: didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, point, so I reckon this another time. Call to twelve.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna call it to twelve. I am
Speaker 2: down on my hands and knees with a towel, ready
Speaker 2: to catch Bowie. I'm just sort of getting ready. Sean's
Speaker 2: standing legs apart, hands on ball, and she's pushing on
Speaker 2: the oven. Yeah, I forgot about sourday. Sourdough's gone. Like
Speaker 2: I've got to deliver a baby. So I've got the
Speaker 2: towel like a net, like I've just sort of looped it.
Speaker 2: Sean doesn't know that I'm even here because I'm just
Speaker 2: dead silent. I've got one hand sort of between her
Speaker 2: legs ready, and I'm just sitting there like this, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't believe that I'm about to catch Bowie.
Speaker 1: Were you scared?
Speaker 2: No feeling? I was just in the zone all this time.
Speaker 2: I'm like, first time was a practice run. This is
Speaker 2: the grand final. I'm just going to catch and then
Speaker 2: like ring him up and then hopefully by then Bubby
Speaker 2: here and they can do whatever else. So two twelve, right,
Speaker 2: here's footsteps and I'm like, turn around, and it's the
Speaker 2: other midwife. So you need two midwives. It's the other one,
Speaker 2: but it's not our normal one.
Speaker 1: It's a feeling because yet who we've never met before.
Speaker 1: So a random lady rocks up into our bedroom, creeps
Speaker 1: up the staircase but you would have heard her. It's
Speaker 1: bit squeaky.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm but how bizarre that we've never met this woman.
Speaker 1: She's come to our house, she's about to help us
Speaker 1: give birth to our baby. You don't even know what
Speaker 1: she looks like. And she said to us afterwards, the
Speaker 1: funniest part for her was that she and she's done
Speaker 1: this a lot of times, but she's rocked up to
Speaker 1: the house. She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't
Speaker 1: know where she's going in the house, or if this
Speaker 1: even is the house. And she said, when I walked in,
Speaker 1: it was so quiet, and she's looking around, thinking, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, have I gone to the wrong house. It's
Speaker 1: so awkward. She's done it before, she said, she's gone
Speaker 1: to the wrong house before that. She's creeping through this
Speaker 1: house and then she hears the mowing sound and she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: here I am. Then she runs up the stairs.
Speaker 2: So she gets up there. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: thank god, you're here. And she comes over and she
Speaker 2: checks the water and she's like, oh, that's too hot,
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, I know that in my head.
Speaker 2: I was like, I know that hot is the slowest pressure,
Speaker 2: so I thought I'd heat it up first and then
Speaker 2: blast it with cold at the end to get it
Speaker 2: right temperature.
Speaker 1: That is a memory that I have because I knew
Speaker 1: I was pushing and remember saying to you, the pool's
Speaker 1: not full yet. A pull isn't side yet. I said
Speaker 1: to you the pool and you're like, pardon, and I
Speaker 1: said fill the pool and you heard me and went, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on it. And I'm hearing the trick of the pool,
Speaker 1: thinking these thing's never filling up.
Speaker 2: It was so s it was slow, but it was
Speaker 2: filling up.
Speaker 1: I said to you beforehand, how long do you think
Speaker 1: the pool is going to take the fill up? And
Speaker 1: you said to me, oh, only about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Thirty.
Speaker 1: Libby turns up our second midwife.
Speaker 2: Yeap, She's like, how's she going? I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: when I've seen his head. I was like, is that
Speaker 2: his head like this little?
Speaker 1: Like was it big? Did it look big? Or like
Speaker 1: this is no? I know that, but was the whole
Speaker 1: really big or like his whole head.
Speaker 2: Really I'd imagine that's so interesting. But like I was like,
Speaker 2: because his head was thirty centimeters, oh my god, fast
Speaker 2: wall Gen gets here. And said, you're crowning. I was like,
Speaker 2: I fucking knew it was a head. I thought it
Speaker 2: was head.
Speaker 1: So you saw the top of his head. It was
Speaker 1: a little small hole, like how big was a hole?
Speaker 2: Like showing me how it was pretty big. It was
Speaker 2: like it wasn't a round thing, but so ten centimeters,
Speaker 2: it'd be about ten centimeters and then it goes to thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but anyway, it's triggering. Of course, sexy time's gone for
Speaker 2: a bit anyway, Well.
Speaker 1: Has it happened last three weeks?
Speaker 2: That's scary anyway, So now, okay time call we are
Speaker 2: at I would say two twenty two. Jen comes up
Speaker 2: the stairs, gives me a hug, and then she comes
Speaker 2: over to Sean and puts her hands on her and
Speaker 2: Sean realizes, okay, she's here.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, she's here. Thank God.
Speaker 1: I just felt so much really knowing she was there,
Speaker 1: and I felt I knew someone else was there, but
Speaker 1: I was like, didn't know who it was because I
Speaker 1: had my eyes closed. And she put her hand on me,
Speaker 1: on my shoulder, and she goes, I'm here, you're doing
Speaker 1: so well. And I was like the fact that she
Speaker 1: said that we're fucking baby.
Speaker 2: And she said that, and I was like, I'm in
Speaker 2: like cuckoo.
Speaker 1: Land or you're on Colan.
Speaker 2: I turn around, I'm like, she's here. To nobody else,
Speaker 2: she's here, yeah, and anyway, So then I just go
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gotta take a step back here. Job done,
Speaker 2: doctor's done.
Speaker 1: Here, doctor dreaper.
Speaker 2: And I go into a videographer mode. Now, so I
Speaker 2: go get the stand set, you got the phones, aim,
Speaker 2: and yeah, that'll be good. And then so yeah, two
Speaker 2: twenty five ready, Gen moves shine in and we sort
Speaker 2: of all man handle her and get her over.
Speaker 1: But let me tell this part because I remember this
Speaker 1: part very vividly. I remember saying to Jen second I
Speaker 1: felt her, I said, I need to get the pool.
Speaker 1: She is, I know, we're almost there. I said, great.
Speaker 1: I start walking out. I can remember Babe feeling like
Speaker 1: it was hard to walk because I had a baby
Speaker 1: about to cut. Like I didn't have to walk when
Speaker 1: I was out because I was in the pool. So
Speaker 1: quickly I'm thinking, like, there's no way if you're that
Speaker 1: far in labor, you're having a baby in the hospital
Speaker 1: if you can't get their own time because you can't
Speaker 1: walk properly. Because it's there, like it's the most bizarre
Speaker 1: feeling to think, like, yeah, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: explain it. Like honest, like a basketball between your legs.
Speaker 1: You're trying to walk and you're kind of hobbling im.
Speaker 1: We're getting to the bath and seeing Libby and looking
Speaker 1: at her the second midwife and saying oh hi, and
Speaker 1: she was like hello, and I was like, how do
Speaker 1: I get in? And she was like, put your legs
Speaker 1: over us, and then you guys are will helping me
Speaker 1: get in. So it's very awkward, by the way, because
Speaker 1: the pools are very high.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So by this day, it's like two twenty eight, right,
Speaker 2: you're loving your Yeah, I want to. I want to
Speaker 2: get every in the zone and visualize. Here we're visualizing,
Speaker 2: so two twenty eight and you sort of go into
Speaker 2: your position, will be like, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1: I went to the edge of the pool and put
Speaker 1: my hands over the edge show with my head resting
Speaker 1: on my hands.
Speaker 2: So Elfie's birth I was behind, so I've seen everything
Speaker 2: and this time I was like not going to do
Speaker 2: that this time. I'm going to stay at the front.
Speaker 1: Why because they were that end.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were at that end and I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm just happy here, don't have jobs today. Two thirty
Speaker 2: you gave a bit of a push and I'm looking
Speaker 2: from like this angle. Your head's here. I'm just stroking you,
Speaker 2: and no word of a lie. I see a hand
Speaker 2: rise and this little hand's like coming up behind you,
Speaker 2: like so his head's out and one arm and it's
Speaker 2: up like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like that was first push.
Speaker 2: First push, So that's two thirty and I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, there's a little ah, little thing like this,
Speaker 2: and then another push and his shoulders and then one
Speaker 2: more little push. So two thirty three he was born.
Speaker 2: Jen goes, grab your baby, and we were like, your baby,
Speaker 2: and then we looked down and he's right here below us.
Speaker 1: But we basically bungee jumped with his cord around my
Speaker 1: legs from the backs.
Speaker 2: And he was like laying there and we're like looking
Speaker 2: at each other and Jen's like, grab your baby. We're like, oh,
Speaker 2: there he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was silent.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh God, is he all right. I
Speaker 2: was very, very, very nervous, but the midwives had told
Speaker 2: us like this could happen and he could take a
Speaker 2: little while to come to so They're like just rub
Speaker 2: him and blow air on him and rub him a
Speaker 2: little bit more. And then he was still not making
Speaker 2: him Like, oh, like, is anyone going to give him CPR?
Speaker 2: Like yeah, That's how I was thinking because I'm like,
Speaker 2: obviously not trained, but Jen, he's smiling, so I took
Speaker 2: comfort in that she was still smiling. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: Libby grabbed the umbilical cord. He must have I don't
Speaker 2: know what they do that.
Speaker 1: Well, the blob was still pumping, which he was still
Speaker 1: getting oxygen. But what's important to note, I guess, is
Speaker 1: that homebirthing was so powerful. But we had so much knowledge, right,
Speaker 1: so when we did the hypnopothing, we knew a lot
Speaker 1: about birth and we did homebirth, and they give you
Speaker 1: so much education, so and I feel like that's maybe
Speaker 1: stuff that you don't Maybe you don't get as much
Speaker 1: of that when you're doing the hospital appointments because they's
Speaker 1: so quick, right, Like all my hospital appointments were very like,
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen minutes, whereas these midwives would spend two
Speaker 1: hours with you per appointment. So because everything exactly so
Speaker 1: you talk through best case to talk through worst case scenario.
Speaker 1: So we knew and they'd already prepped us that, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: sometimes when babies come out, if it's you know, fast,
Speaker 1: if it's in the water, whatever it is, they take
Speaker 1: a little while to come to if this happens. And
Speaker 1: she'd said to me, you know how I am now shurely,
Speaker 1: you know my language. But if I say to you shurely,
Speaker 1: do this, I'm serious and you need to move quickly.
Speaker 1: So we already knew that baby.
Speaker 2: So I think for us, I was just watching her
Speaker 2: and she was smiling and like, yeah, just rub your baby,
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, he's all.
Speaker 1: Good, he's just but I did say I felt. I
Speaker 1: picked him up and I looked at him and I went,
Speaker 1: oh my god. I looked at you. Got on video.
Speaker 1: I looked at you and then you were like looking
Speaker 1: down and going, oh my god, this baby. I pulled
Speaker 1: the baby to my chest and then because he didn't
Speaker 1: make a noise, I just went, is he okay? Is
Speaker 1: my baby okay? And she went, your baby's fine, your
Speaker 1: baby's fine. He probably took about two minutes, I reckon
Speaker 1: to make any sound, and in that time I wasn't
Speaker 1: stressed out because she's not stressed out.
Speaker 2: Oh she was stressed out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if she wasn't, obviously you got a problem. But
Speaker 1: he just took a while to come too. So like
Speaker 1: she remember her saying to me, rubbie, baby, you know,
Speaker 1: blow on him, talk to him. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't know the fucking baby. So I was like
Speaker 1: in the video, you just hear me going, Hi, Hi, baby, Hi,
Speaker 1: Like I have no idea what to say to this baby.
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to say to him? And then
Speaker 1: I'm going, you're okay, You're okay, And then I'm rubbing
Speaker 1: him and as I start to rub him, you just
Speaker 1: hear this really loud cry and everyone in the whole
Speaker 1: room just went oh. And you see me put my
Speaker 1: head back. In the video, You're like happy, everyone's happy.
Speaker 1: It was just a really really nice moment. And the
Speaker 1: neighbors heard the first cry too, which is really funny.
Speaker 2: So that was two thirty three. So we're just sitting back,
Speaker 2: relaxing and in the bar, still in the bath, and
Speaker 2: we're just taking in the moment. And next minute my
Speaker 2: alarm goes and John's like, what is that for? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's the sour though it's cooked, and
Speaker 2: no word of alay you had a baby quicker than
Speaker 2: I could cook.
Speaker 1: So actually, and I'm like, that's amazing. It was the
Speaker 1: best thing I've ever eaten. I chitch you not. It
Speaker 1: tasted like obviously I was hungry, but I had that
Speaker 1: in a hydro light and I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: could not be any happier. I felt like I was
Speaker 1: at a fine outing restaurant. That's how good the food tasted.
Speaker 1: Because for anyone that would note, like who's given birth,
Speaker 1: your first meal after you give birth, it just feels
Speaker 1: so good, just so hungry. You just need nourishment. So
Speaker 1: to have that sourdough, I was like the best.
Speaker 2: And yeah, so you actually beat the sowdough like eight
Speaker 2: minutes because when Bowie come out, I want the most time.
Speaker 2: I was like, still eight minutes to go.
