Speaker 1 (00:00):
You guys want to do a tang This may be
my worst idea ever for the tank, but hit the intro.
It's the tangent with the breadshew giving you all the
shit we couldn't talk.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
About on air.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
All right, Paulina, you know you wrote you wrote today
on our little sheet. We have a little sheet that
we we all contribute ideas to. Yes, and I still
think that's a bit somewhere. I'm just gonna start randomly,
like the Roulette wheel of random tombic, just to see
what week, because there's so much stuff on there that
we haven't gotten to. However, you commented that your you
(00:31):
and your baby Gabriella had your first matching outfit and
it was diapers.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Diapers, We were wearing diapers.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now you knew that was You knew that was going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I didn't know until somebody told me that, like you're
gonna have to you know, you'll be I'm gonna say,
you'll be bleeding, right, I mean, and I didn't think
of that. I don't know what the hell I thought
was going to happen. I just thought it'd be a
little more of a I don't know, simpler process down there,
but the fact that I'm bleeding I was for three weeks,
damn is crassy, crazy girl.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
How do you have to like plan outfits that like
conceal the diaper?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I kind of did. I also wore like loose stuff,
baggy stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Shout out to always though they make like these diapers
that aren't so that aren't so granny bikini coott right,
little bikini cut, little diaper, But I feel.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like I kind of was.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, I I was making a joke, but I know
they make some thinner than oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So honestly, I don't think you could tell, maybe unless
you like, stay at my diaper ass, but like you
couldn't really tell.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Damn, gir you got a fatty right now?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So what I And again this is a bad idea
because I I probably don't, like I sympathize wildly with
women and all the different things that you guys endure
that we don't. But like, what was there any part
of the whole process that surprised you actually or was
it just sort of like you expected anything?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I expected anything and everything. But to be honest, my
experience was so smooth, really, yes, compared to what I
thought it and what it could have been right.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, anything can go wrong in.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Two seconds, and for me, I don't for me to share,
but like it did kind of start going downhill for
about a couple of minutes. Oh really it was really
it was really scary. So for me, when I did
the epidural, they make everybody leave the room. Right, So,
like that's the whole thing about me. I didn't know this,
but I guess I have a not so straight spine.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I have a curvage, curved spine. Okay, so because the
crooked ass, so that's my curved.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Ask And we didn't know, as any good coworker would know,
you have a crooked ass. So he did know that
legit crooked ass. Well, how did that present a challenge.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Because then the honey called that person and the.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Big word over here for me.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But she came in and did what she needed to do,
but kept saying, I can't get this. It has to
go in the middle first of all, has to go
right in the middle. And she said, I can't get
this centered. It's it's kind of leaning one way or another.
She goes, you have a curvage in your spine, So
I had to do it again. That process is the
most just uncomfortable, painful.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Shout out to my nurse.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
She was like, we're holding each other like we're like
huddling for like a football meet.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Like we were just like.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
This right, we're football meat, like a huddle. I don't
want to watch football, but I know they do this,
they huddle. So where her and I are huddling, she's
got me like tugged in like her arms. It was
just like really special and sweet of her to do that,
because it's so painful and like you feel it and
you just you hear things and you're just like, oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
She did it twice.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Because of that, it took longer, so everybody out in
the waiting room was freaking out. Yeah, a process that
should have taken about twenty minutes took about an hour
and fifteen minutes. So my mom's, you know, my mom,
she's walking up to the door trying to get in.
There's like nurses being like security basically, and my mom's like,
who are you security? She was getting so like meme
with it, and I understand that you're her child and
(03:51):
you're just like what's going on? But so my I
want to say. It was like my heart rate went
down and so did babies, So it was like a
scary moment. I don't know how serious. I mean, it
was serious, but I don't know. The nurses made it
seem like it was gonna be okay, and because of them,
I felt okay. Like I would have freaked out and
I do freak out, but they made it like a
really calm experience and like they just kept saying, come.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
On, baby, we gotta get the baby's heart, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And they really guided me through that because it could
have been like a freak out moment of course, right,
and if anyone else was in there too, it probably would.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Have been incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
They are angels, are angels on earth. But they took
care of me and we got everything back up and
it was good. But that was a really scary moment
to think that, like because of something happening right now,
we don't know what's gonna happen next.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The most painful part of the whole thing. Yes, act
was painful.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, so epidurl is amazing and it's just what would
you rate it out of ten?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
My job a thousand?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Hell yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Can I be honest, I didn't feel shit when I
gave birth. I didn't feel a thing. I felt like
on top of the world.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I don't know if I was even pushing at one point,
and I was because I rapped, but I was just like, man, like,
am I even like doing this right? Because like, you know,
doctor walks in, which love my doctor, doctor Mike shout out.
He walks in with his little scrubs and his little outfit,
putting on his robe whatever, and he goes, all right,
let's get to it's baby time. I thought I had
one more nap in me. It took a lot of
epidol naps. I was like, I got one more in me.
(05:16):
But here he comes with his glasses in the robe.
I know it's time to push because they check a lot.
They the nurses again, the nurses, they're just amazing. They
come in, they check on you, check on baby, and
put their fingers up there yep, and they'll tell you
where the baby is. They know where that baby is,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well, I think I know where the baby is, but
I mean, like you're saying how close the baby is?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yes, yes, to exit the exit wild? It is wild.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So then I pushed and It's interesting too, because they
told me it could be two hours for new moms
first time when you're doing this for the first time,
and I was like exhausted by the second push because
this whole process is really tiring.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I was in labor for what two days?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yes, And then I'm thinking like, man, they make you
breathe this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And about twenty five minutes later she came out.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Wow. Yeah, as the epidural wears off, then do you
start to feel like, Okay, now it's painful.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You Yeah, because you feel like kind of like what
just happened down there?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know what I mean? And with me too.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
He the baby came out, Thank God, very well. Everything
was good. She also was a gestational diabetes baby. Oh,
which means that she could be a little bigger.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
She was eight pounds eight ounces. It's not the biggest baby,
but not the smallest one either. Yeah, she's my little
average baby. But she When she also came out too,
they mentioned that they have to be careful with the
shoulders because just national diabetes babies can be bigger. So
He's like, I have to turn her a certain way.
He even told the nurse like a code. They have
a code when it comes to that because they don't
they don't want to like fuck up your shoulders or
(06:44):
the baby shoulders, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's it's a serious matter.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So when he told me that, I'm over here like
praying to God, like please just get her out, you know, safely. Yeah,
And my doctor's awesome. He guides me through it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Sorry, Fred, I know you're probably like, because a question.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm sorry, but no, he turned her, took her out,
and he just goes, here's your baby, and my mom goes, look,
and you're out of it too. For the most part,
even though like I was very aware, alert and awake,
he's just kind of out of it. You're like, everyone's
talking to you baby being pulled out, you know what
I mean. My mother in law's behind me, she's fanning
me like it's a lot going on. So then the
(07:19):
baby and I locked eyes, and it was so interesting
because I'm such a believer of past lives or just
I think a lot of us. This is my rare
theory have met in different lives before. I don't know
why I have this theory, but my mom and I
always say, like we were like friends, in a past
life because we just know each other so well and
we're very close. I feel like that baby looked at me.
It was like it's me again, Like I met her somewhere,
like I knew her from somewhere. Wow, she looked me
(07:40):
in the eye. She's not even like five minutes old,
and she's looking me in the eye. And I'm just
looking at her, and I was like, that's my baby.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
He do the skin to skin. Hobby's holding one leg,
my mom's holding.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The other leg. Now, we were worried about him, the
firefighter paramedic. We were concerned about him. How did he do?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He did amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I'm going to give him his flowers because I don't
think it's and I know Kaylin has seen this too.
I'm not sure if anyone else has. When you see
somebody give birth and there are a lot of pain
or its just like you know, you're watching them give
birth and it's this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Person that you love a lot, so you're like, you've
got to be kind of a helpless thing.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I kind of snapped on him in the moment,
No I did, I did.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm like, because he look like he's want to pass
on on me. Right, he's holding a leg doctor Mike.
I told him not to, but he was like, look,
how cool is this? Here's the head take a look.
And I'm like like, leave him alone, like leave them
at alone.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like let's just get through this. But Hobby looked like
he's gonna pass out.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And I had a moment and I apologize for it,
even though I shouldn't have, but I did.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You know, he forgave me.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He didn't, he wasn't mad, but I was just like,
I don't know what I said, but I looked at
him and I said, are you okay? And I stopped
like mid birth. I was like are you okay? Because
I was like, this is like the real deal, like
this is the actual it's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All? I think he was acutely aware of that, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was thinking, like if he's going to pass out
on me, like we gotta just sit down at this
point or I leave the room.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I wouldn't have been offended.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I literally my priority was like getting the baby out
safely and like you know what I mean, that was
my priority. Love Hobby, but in that moment, I was
just like I just want to focus on this. But
he did it really great and he wasn't like no,
he just he wanted to pass out, probably secretly, but
he pulled through.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Good for him. Yeah, I'm gonna be the first, uh,
if I ever have a kid, I'm gonna be the
first father in history to have a hospital bed right
next to yours and an epidural of my own. Yeah.
So I'll just be right there way along for then,
Yeah exactly, whatever, Yeah, hook.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Me up up.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm a whust Like I know my weaknesses, and I
just I don't know if that time ever comes, there's
no way on earth I would miss it. But like,
you're gonna have to give me all the adavan in
the world or something, because I don't know, I'm gonna
have to get superstoned or I don't know what it is.
But like I just I me myself, and I have
a trouble in that environment. I went to see maybe
in the hospital room, wasn't even the delivery room. There
(09:54):
was no there was no evidence of anything that had happened.
And I was still like, oh yeah, because it smelled
it's like a hospital, It looks like a hospital. It
is a hospital, sure is. And that as on my thing. Okay,
so you had mentioned we're gonna get everything checked out
today or this week, and then you're you're ready to
(10:14):
get back to poundtown. I am ready.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I miss that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's been a long uh well more than six weeks technically,
but yeah, it's been a while. I'm very nervous just
because they say it might you know, not the most
comfiest thing in the world when you have the sex
after a baby. Your first poop, by the way, too,
is really really difficult and really a whole production.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, because when you get birth, like the whole
point is to push like you're pooping.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, like you're.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, I didn't know that people do poop. I probably
did poop for all I know. I didn't get told
I did, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah I might have.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But they also took my food away for two days,
so I had like like WDS only, so who knows.
But no, like I that poop was hard. So like
it's it very difficult, you know, dump, But.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This is a difficult dump. That's going to be the
title of this podcast, A very difficult dump. You got it?
Why should am.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I scared to ask why it's hard just because you're
straining the area that I think.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So one of those things called you get hemorrhoids.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, so they say you can get them too after
giving birth, so it's yeah. And then on top of
that too. My theory was if I pushed too hard
but hopefully, like I was thinking, my butt would fall.
So you take a lot of soul softener or whatever whatever.
It took a week, but that first poop is everything. Yeah,
the first p didn't hurt that much.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Uh No, you gotta be care No, no, sorry, it's
your your podcast. You gotta be careful, though, I would think,
because like you can get pregnant again now.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yes, So Hobby looked at me like two days ago,
he goes, do I got to buy condoms?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And I'm like, you actually might because he even said it.
He's like, we you know, we're not Irish twins.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Don't want Irish twins. I don't think I want another one.
I really don't. That could change, but I don't think so.
So like, yeah, we either got to get snipped. I
gotta get the I U d I U V A
U d I U D the I OU I gotta
get that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Or condoms. But that's not gonna last forever. Come on, I.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Mean, that's how you got into this predicament is going
come on?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Honestly, it did it. I literally funked out and found out.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I didn't think it was gonna happen because it wasn't
for a year, and then it did and I was like,
oh ship, I'm a wedding three months.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Cool, cool story.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, So when's he gonna get snipped?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm talking him into it. He's not opposed to it.
He's not opposed, No, he's not. But I also feel like, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well we do want another one. How hard is it
to reverse it? I don't know. It's not permanent. I
don't think right it is not. But that's a lot
to go through to undo it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Just to undo it, Yeah, they can, they can do it.
Wait a minute, but you were like last week you
were absolutely not, and now you're thinking maybe another one?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I say because I know me right, and like I
will say things and then do the opposite. The only
reason I say this is I don't know. I The
only way I would ever have another kid, and I joke,
but I'm dead serious, is if I can come back
as the.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Father, and that is not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I love dad's and you're active dad, rufio, but you
and I will forever have different experiences, not even as
the birth part. The birth part is one thing, but
like the mother, like biologically, when my child screams or cries,
that shit hurts my soul and it's like some there's
research behind it.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Do you lactate when she cries?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I actually do? Yeah, yeah, Like.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I are bonded with that baby forever like a father,
Like I got tune as if I need to, like
and so does happen. I'm like this this kick cry
and I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's just so different.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But moms will be like they can't. It's like yeah, right,
it is.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It is.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And even for you to get up and like go
work out, get a haircut whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't know how you guys are at home.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But for us, like it's hobbies just on vacation. He's
just hanging out. He's gonna go to handle this and that.
For me to get ten minute and it's to white
you know, wash my ass is a process. I have
to make sure how he's downstairs, he's sitting down, where's
the bottle? The formula? Like, I'm just like trying to
make sure I'm good before I step out of the room.
You think he does that with me? No?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, are you able to let him do that without
sort of like policing him? Are you at the point
where it's like, all right, he might not do it
exactly right, but yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I've accepted it, you know, because no matter who
watches her, because we have a lifestyle that's going to
require babysitters, just people to come in. I'm not going
to police people like his mother, which is grandma, Grandma's
great my mother, Grandma number two.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
She's great, you know what I mean. Like they all
kind of do their own thing, their own style.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I've noticed his Grandma's are going to do it their
own way, and they're going to do it differently than
you are one.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Hundred percent, and I'm okay with it. The only thing
I do ask is just like I don't know, take
care of her well, you know, that's that's the bare
minimum for me, you know what I mean, Like make
sure her needs are met and just love her. And
that's what they do, and like whether they feed her,
you know, on time at one pm or if it's
fifteen minutes later, it doesn't bother me. I just I
can't can't like helicopter, I can't police this. It's going
to be what it is, you know. Plus I don't
(15:01):
want her to be too much of a strict routine baby,
Like we're very much so like sleep, like when you sleep,
you know what I mean. Like I'm trying to like
I want there to be some structure, but like right now,
she's so tiny too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's just like, let's just survive honestly for you.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Though, because like my sister can't. I know, she has
a very difficult time. You know, my mom's not gonna
kill that kid. She didn't kill either one of us.
I mean, we're we're both real fucked up, but like
you know, oh that's not all Mama Fred's fault. But
I mean, Mama Fred's never going to endanger either one
of those kids. But she's not gonna do it exactly
the way Amanda wants it. And Amanda is like the
wake windows here and the foods here and the things here,
(15:35):
and the things here and the things and it has
to be like and my mom by the way, can
be the same way. But it's like, let Nana be
or I guess they call her mimi, Let me me
be me me. Yeah, you know, like it's kind of
that's part of being a grandma is it's gonna be different,
and you know, yeah, I'm gonna buy you ice cream
at this time and we're gonna eat it this time,
and we're gonna go to these places and like that's
what that's what grandmas do. And I think my sister's
(15:56):
had a very hard time, you know, just letting my
mom just do it, you know what, I because it
would benefit both of them, because my mom would feel
better knowing that my sister trusts her implicitly as she should.
And I think a man would have a better time
doing whatever the hell she's doing because she wouldn't worry
about it as much.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's hard. You can't tell, Yeah, you can't tell.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What do I know to your point about being you know,
like interconnected to your child, I don't know what that's like.
So it's you know, easy for me.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
To say, yeah, yeah, I'll never be a dad, So
I don't know if number two is coming for that reason.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, it's just too difficult.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I'll bring you some condoms. I got plenty of them,
do you yeah? Are they good?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Still they expire? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't know, a little dusty, but they're still in
their package, so I certainly don't need them for anything,
so I'll bring them to you. That's all right. Well,
this is brought to you by taking poops and condoms
anything else epidurals brought to you by Labor and Delivery
RSES dedicated.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Highly recommend I don't know what to do, but highly so.
Two breast pumps. You guys might hear see me pumping
in here one day? Mind your business?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Did they give you a room? They have to give
you a room.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
This is not my room they have you can pump
in here where you are.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I bought a portable pump, and I literally just also
chew your boobs leaks, so I have pads. So if
I ever forget this and you see like you my boobs,
mind your business, everybody.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
They legally have to give you a room.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Room, okay, the phone room? Oh yeah, because there can't
be any windows. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
They were in there moving some stuff around.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
One of our coworkers who gets Migraines sometimes works in
there because it's dark.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Sure, yeah, me and her will be in there.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
It's not exactly a phone room anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Elevator take them out, me and the electrics.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
In the w gc I studio. It's fine. Whatever, the
pumping room or going to the religious station. There's nobody
in there anyway. I don't think anyone works there. I
don't know, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'll find out.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I guess i'd have to stay past nine forty five anyway.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh no, oh no, we're not touching.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The Yeah, yeah, we're not going down. Okay, maybe I
should go in there. I could use a little more
of that. All right, Well, thank you for your for
being your transparency. I appreciate it. Thanks very honest. Welcome back,
and we're glad that I'm back. And we are glad
you're Kiki especially.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I love you guys, and I missed you.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, we missed you too. Oh that was sweet. That's
so nice. All right, there's the tangent brought to you
by the first ship after your pregnant
You guys want to do a tang This may be
my worst idea ever for the tank, but hit the intro.
It's the tangent with the breadshew giving you all the
shit we couldn't talk.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
About on air.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
All right, Paulina, you know you wrote you wrote today
on our little sheet. We have a little sheet that
we we all contribute ideas to. Yes, and I still
think that's a bit somewhere. I'm just gonna start randomly,
like the Roulette wheel of random tombic, just to see
what week, because there's so much stuff on there that
we haven't gotten to. However, you commented that your you
(00:31):
and your baby Gabriella had your first matching outfit and
it was diapers.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Diapers, We were wearing diapers.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now you knew that was You knew that was going
to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I didn't know until somebody told me that, like you're
gonna have to you know, you'll be I'm gonna say,
you'll be bleeding, right, I mean, and I didn't think
of that. I don't know what the hell I thought
was going to happen. I just thought it'd be a
little more of a I don't know, simpler process down there,
but the fact that I'm bleeding I was for three weeks,
damn is crassy, crazy girl.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
How do you have to like plan outfits that like
conceal the diaper?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I kind of did. I also wore like loose stuff,
baggy stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Shout out to always though they make like these diapers
that aren't so that aren't so granny bikini coott right,
little bikini cut, little diaper, But I feel.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like I kind of was.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, I I was making a joke, but I know
they make some thinner than oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So honestly, I don't think you could tell, maybe unless
you like, stay at my diaper ass, but like you
couldn't really tell.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Damn, gir you got a fatty right now?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So what I And again this is a bad idea
because I I probably don't, like I sympathize wildly with
women and all the different things that you guys endure
that we don't. But like, what was there any part
of the whole process that surprised you actually or was
it just sort of like you expected anything?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I expected anything and everything. But to be honest, my
experience was so smooth, really, yes, compared to what I
thought it and what it could have been right.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I mean, anything can go wrong in.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Two seconds, and for me, I don't for me to share,
but like it did kind of start going downhill for
about a couple of minutes. Oh really it was really
it was really scary. So for me, when I did
the epidural, they make everybody leave the room. Right, So,
like that's the whole thing about me. I didn't know this,
but I guess I have a not so straight spine.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I have a curvage, curved spine. Okay, so because the
crooked ass, so that's my curved.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Ask And we didn't know, as any good coworker would know,
you have a crooked ass. So he did know that
legit crooked ass. Well, how did that present a challenge.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Because then the honey called that person and the.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Big word over here for me.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But she came in and did what she needed to do,
but kept saying, I can't get this. It has to
go in the middle first of all, has to go
right in the middle. And she said, I can't get
this centered. It's it's kind of leaning one way or another.
She goes, you have a curvage in your spine, So
I had to do it again. That process is the
most just uncomfortable, painful.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Shout out to my nurse.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
She was like, we're holding each other like we're like
huddling for like a football meet.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Like we were just like.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
This right, we're football meat, like a huddle. I don't
want to watch football, but I know they do this,
they huddle. So where her and I are huddling, she's
got me like tugged in like her arms. It was
just like really special and sweet of her to do that,
because it's so painful and like you feel it and
you just you hear things and you're just like, oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
She did it twice.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Because of that, it took longer, so everybody out in
the waiting room was freaking out. Yeah, a process that
should have taken about twenty minutes took about an hour
and fifteen minutes. So my mom's, you know, my mom,
she's walking up to the door trying to get in.
There's like nurses being like security basically, and my mom's like,
who are you security? She was getting so like meme
with it, and I understand that you're her child and
(03:51):
you're just like what's going on? But so my I
want to say. It was like my heart rate went
down and so did babies, So it was like a
scary moment. I don't know how serious. I mean, it
was serious, but I don't know. The nurses made it
seem like it was gonna be okay, and because of them,
I felt okay. Like I would have freaked out and
I do freak out, but they made it like a
really calm experience and like they just kept saying, come.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
On, baby, we gotta get the baby's heart, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And they really guided me through that because it could
have been like a freak out moment of course, right,
and if anyone else was in there too, it probably would.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Have been incredible.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
They are angels, are angels on earth. But they took
care of me and we got everything back up and
it was good. But that was a really scary moment
to think that, like because of something happening right now,
we don't know what's gonna happen next.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The most painful part of the whole thing. Yes, act
was painful.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, so epidurl is amazing and it's just what would
you rate it out of ten?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
My job a thousand?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Hell yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Can I be honest, I didn't feel shit when I
gave birth. I didn't feel a thing. I felt like
on top of the world.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I don't know if I was even pushing at one point,
and I was because I rapped, but I was just like, man, like,
am I even like doing this right? Because like, you know,
doctor walks in, which love my doctor, doctor Mike shout out.
He walks in with his little scrubs and his little outfit,
putting on his robe whatever, and he goes, all right,
let's get to it's baby time. I thought I had
one more nap in me. It took a lot of
epidol naps. I was like, I got one more in me.
(05:16):
But here he comes with his glasses in the robe.
I know it's time to push because they check a lot.
They the nurses again, the nurses, they're just amazing. They
come in, they check on you, check on baby, and
put their fingers up there yep, and they'll tell you
where the baby is. They know where that baby is,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Well, I think I know where the baby is, but
I mean, like you're saying how close the baby is?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yes, yes, to exit the exit wild? It is wild.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
So then I pushed and It's interesting too, because they
told me it could be two hours for new moms
first time when you're doing this for the first time,
and I was like exhausted by the second push because
this whole process is really tiring.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I was in labor for what two days?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yes, And then I'm thinking like, man, they make you
breathe this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And about twenty five minutes later she came out.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Wow. Yeah, as the epidural wears off, then do you
start to feel like, Okay, now it's painful.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You Yeah, because you feel like kind of like what
just happened down there?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know what I mean? And with me too.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
He the baby came out, Thank God, very well. Everything
was good. She also was a gestational diabetes baby. Oh,
which means that she could be a little bigger.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
She was eight pounds eight ounces. It's not the biggest baby,
but not the smallest one either. Yeah, she's my little
average baby. But she When she also came out too,
they mentioned that they have to be careful with the
shoulders because just national diabetes babies can be bigger. So
He's like, I have to turn her a certain way.
He even told the nurse like a code. They have
a code when it comes to that because they don't
they don't want to like fuck up your shoulders or
(06:44):
the baby shoulders, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's it's a serious matter.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So when he told me that, I'm over here like
praying to God, like please just get her out, you know, safely. Yeah,
And my doctor's awesome. He guides me through it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Sorry, Fred, I know you're probably like, because a question.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm sorry, but no, he turned her, took her out,
and he just goes, here's your baby, and my mom goes, look,
and you're out of it too. For the most part,
even though like I was very aware, alert and awake,
he's just kind of out of it. You're like, everyone's
talking to you baby being pulled out, you know what
I mean. My mother in law's behind me, she's fanning
me like it's a lot going on. So then the
(07:19):
baby and I locked eyes, and it was so interesting
because I'm such a believer of past lives or just
I think a lot of us. This is my rare
theory have met in different lives before. I don't know
why I have this theory, but my mom and I
always say, like we were like friends, in a past
life because we just know each other so well and
we're very close. I feel like that baby looked at me.
It was like it's me again, Like I met her somewhere,
like I knew her from somewhere. Wow, she looked me
(07:40):
in the eye. She's not even like five minutes old,
and she's looking me in the eye. And I'm just
looking at her, and I was like, that's my baby.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
He do the skin to skin. Hobby's holding one leg,
my mom's holding.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The other leg. Now, we were worried about him, the
firefighter paramedic. We were concerned about him. How did he do?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He did amazing.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I'm going to give him his flowers because I don't
think it's and I know Kaylin has seen this too.
I'm not sure if anyone else has. When you see
somebody give birth and there are a lot of pain
or its just like you know, you're watching them give
birth and it's this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Person that you love a lot, so you're like, you've
got to be kind of a helpless thing.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So I kind of snapped on him in the moment,
No I did, I did.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm like, because he look like he's want to pass
on on me. Right, he's holding a leg doctor Mike.
I told him not to, but he was like, look,
how cool is this? Here's the head take a look.
And I'm like like, leave him alone, like leave them
at alone.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Like let's just get through this. But Hobby looked like
he's gonna pass out.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And I had a moment and I apologize for it,
even though I shouldn't have, but I did.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You know, he forgave me.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He didn't, he wasn't mad, but I was just like,
I don't know what I said, but I looked at
him and I said, are you okay? And I stopped
like mid birth. I was like are you okay? Because
I was like, this is like the real deal, like
this is the actual it's happening.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All? I think he was acutely aware of that, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I was thinking, like if he's going to pass out
on me, like we gotta just sit down at this
point or I leave the room.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I wouldn't have been offended.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I literally my priority was like getting the baby out
safely and like you know what I mean, that was
my priority. Love Hobby, but in that moment, I was
just like I just want to focus on this. But
he did it really great and he wasn't like no,
he just he wanted to pass out, probably secretly, but
he pulled through.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Good for him. Yeah, I'm gonna be the first, uh,
if I ever have a kid, I'm gonna be the
first father in history to have a hospital bed right
next to yours and an epidural of my own. Yeah.
So I'll just be right there way along for then,
Yeah exactly, whatever, Yeah, hook.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Me up up.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm a whust Like I know my weaknesses, and I
just I don't know if that time ever comes, there's
no way on earth I would miss it. But like,
you're gonna have to give me all the adavan in
the world or something, because I don't know, I'm gonna
have to get superstoned or I don't know what it is.
But like I just I me myself, and I have
a trouble in that environment. I went to see maybe
in the hospital room, wasn't even the delivery room. There
(09:54):
was no there was no evidence of anything that had happened.
And I was still like, oh yeah, because it smelled
it's like a hospital, It looks like a hospital. It
is a hospital, sure is. And that as on my thing. Okay,
so you had mentioned we're gonna get everything checked out
today or this week, and then you're you're ready to
(10:14):
get back to poundtown. I am ready.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I miss that a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's been a long uh well more than six weeks technically,
but yeah, it's been a while. I'm very nervous just
because they say it might you know, not the most
comfiest thing in the world when you have the sex
after a baby. Your first poop, by the way, too,
is really really difficult and really a whole production.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, yeah, because when you get birth, like the whole
point is to push like you're pooping.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, like you're.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, I didn't know that people do poop. I probably
did poop for all I know. I didn't get told
I did, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah I might have.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But they also took my food away for two days,
so I had like like WDS only, so who knows.
But no, like I that poop was hard. So like
it's it very difficult, you know, dump, But.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
This is a difficult dump. That's going to be the
title of this podcast, A very difficult dump. You got it?
Why should am.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I scared to ask why it's hard just because you're
straining the area that I think.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
So one of those things called you get hemorrhoids.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah, so they say you can get them too after
giving birth, so it's yeah. And then on top of
that too. My theory was if I pushed too hard
but hopefully, like I was thinking, my butt would fall.
So you take a lot of soul softener or whatever whatever.
It took a week, but that first poop is everything. Yeah,
the first p didn't hurt that much.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Uh No, you gotta be care No, no, sorry, it's
your your podcast. You gotta be careful, though, I would think,
because like you can get pregnant again now.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yes, So Hobby looked at me like two days ago,
he goes, do I got to buy condoms?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And I'm like, you actually might because he even said it.
He's like, we you know, we're not Irish twins.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Don't want Irish twins. I don't think I want another one.
I really don't. That could change, but I don't think so.
So like, yeah, we either got to get snipped. I
gotta get the I U d I U V A
U d I U D the I OU I gotta
get that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Or condoms. But that's not gonna last forever. Come on, I.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Mean, that's how you got into this predicament is going
come on?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Honestly, it did it. I literally funked out and found out.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I didn't think it was gonna happen because it wasn't
for a year, and then it did and I was like,
oh ship, I'm a wedding three months.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Cool, cool story.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, So when's he gonna get snipped?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I'm talking him into it. He's not opposed to it.
He's not opposed, No, he's not. But I also feel like, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well we do want another one. How hard is it
to reverse it? I don't know. It's not permanent. I
don't think right it is not. But that's a lot
to go through to undo it.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Just to undo it, Yeah, they can, they can do it.
Wait a minute, but you were like last week you
were absolutely not, and now you're thinking maybe another one?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I say because I know me right, and like I
will say things and then do the opposite. The only
reason I say this is I don't know. I The
only way I would ever have another kid, and I joke,
but I'm dead serious, is if I can come back
as the.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Father, and that is not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I love dad's and you're active dad, rufio, but you
and I will forever have different experiences, not even as
the birth part. The birth part is one thing, but
like the mother, like biologically, when my child screams or cries,
that shit hurts my soul and it's like some there's
research behind it.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Do you lactate when she cries?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I actually do? Yeah, yeah, Like.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I are bonded with that baby forever like a father,
Like I got tune as if I need to, like
and so does happen. I'm like this this kick cry
and I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It's just so different.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But moms will be like they can't. It's like yeah, right,
it is.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It is.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And even for you to get up and like go
work out, get a haircut whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't know how you guys are at home.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But for us, like it's hobbies just on vacation. He's
just hanging out. He's gonna go to handle this and that.
For me to get ten minute and it's to white
you know, wash my ass is a process. I have
to make sure how he's downstairs, he's sitting down, where's
the bottle? The formula? Like, I'm just like trying to
make sure I'm good before I step out of the room.
You think he does that with me? No?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, are you able to let him do that without
sort of like policing him? Are you at the point
where it's like, all right, he might not do it
exactly right, but yeah, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, I've accepted it, you know, because no matter who
watches her, because we have a lifestyle that's going to
require babysitters, just people to come in. I'm not going
to police people like his mother, which is grandma, Grandma's
great my mother, Grandma number two.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
She's great, you know what I mean. Like they all
kind of do their own thing, their own style.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I've noticed his Grandma's are going to do it their
own way, and they're going to do it differently than
you are one.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Hundred percent, and I'm okay with it. The only thing
I do ask is just like I don't know, take
care of her well, you know, that's that's the bare
minimum for me, you know what I mean, Like make
sure her needs are met and just love her. And
that's what they do, and like whether they feed her,
you know, on time at one pm or if it's
fifteen minutes later, it doesn't bother me. I just I
can't can't like helicopter, I can't police this. It's going
to be what it is, you know. Plus I don't
(15:01):
want her to be too much of a strict routine baby,
Like we're very much so like sleep, like when you sleep,
you know what I mean. Like I'm trying to like
I want there to be some structure, but like right now,
she's so tiny too.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's just like, let's just survive honestly for you.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Though, because like my sister can't. I know, she has
a very difficult time. You know, my mom's not gonna
kill that kid. She didn't kill either one of us.
I mean, we're we're both real fucked up, but like
you know, oh that's not all Mama Fred's fault. But
I mean, Mama Fred's never going to endanger either one
of those kids. But she's not gonna do it exactly
the way Amanda wants it. And Amanda is like the
wake windows here and the foods here and the things here,
(15:35):
and the things here and the things and it has
to be like and my mom by the way, can
be the same way. But it's like, let Nana be
or I guess they call her mimi, Let me me
be me me. Yeah, you know, like it's kind of
that's part of being a grandma is it's gonna be different,
and you know, yeah, I'm gonna buy you ice cream
at this time and we're gonna eat it this time,
and we're gonna go to these places and like that's
what that's what grandmas do. And I think my sister's
(15:56):
had a very hard time, you know, just letting my
mom just do it, you know what, I because it
would benefit both of them, because my mom would feel
better knowing that my sister trusts her implicitly as she should.
And I think a man would have a better time
doing whatever the hell she's doing because she wouldn't worry
about it as much.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's hard. You can't tell, Yeah, you can't tell.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What do I know to your point about being you know,
like interconnected to your child, I don't know what that's like.
So it's you know, easy for me.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
To say, yeah, yeah, I'll never be a dad, So
I don't know if number two is coming for that reason.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, it's just too difficult.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I'll bring you some condoms. I got plenty of them,
do you yeah? Are they good?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Still they expire? Are they good?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't know, a little dusty, but they're still in
their package, so I certainly don't need them for anything,
so I'll bring them to you. That's all right. Well,
this is brought to you by taking poops and condoms
anything else epidurals brought to you by Labor and Delivery
RSES dedicated.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Highly recommend I don't know what to do, but highly so.
Two breast pumps. You guys might hear see me pumping
in here one day? Mind your business?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Did they give you a room? They have to give
you a room.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
This is not my room they have you can pump
in here where you are.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I bought a portable pump, and I literally just also
chew your boobs leaks, so I have pads. So if
I ever forget this and you see like you my boobs,
mind your business, everybody.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
They legally have to give you a room.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
