Quick Summary

On August 29, Katie Murphy gave birth to her son Cody in the parking lot of a KFC restaurant in Bromsgrove, England.

Katie and Stephen, who also have a 4-year-old daughter, were returning home from the hospital when labor accelerated unexpectedly; upon arriving at the KFC, Katie delivered Cody about five minutes before an ambulance arrived.
