But their baby boy decided that he could not wait any longer, making his surprise entrance into the world in a KFC parking lot, Fox News reported. A pregnant couple in the United Kingdom was on their way to a hospital for childbirth. When Katie Murphy, 33, realised that her labour was progressing faster and she couldn’t wait any longer, her partner, Stephen Kirby, decided to pull into the parking lot of the restaurant in Bromsgrove, a town in Worcestershire, England.
The couple officially named him Cody. The birth even caught the attention of KFC, whose representatives reacted to the news. “We’re honoured to have been the place of Cody’s birth and are sending bucket loads of love to the whole family, along with some KFC merch and vouchers to help them celebrate.
However, given the unusual circumstances around his birth, family and friends quickly gave him an affectionate nickname, which is “Colonel Cody,” in reference to Colonel Sanders, the founder of the fried chicken chain. We can’t wait to welcome them back for a meal to mark the occasion,” a KFC spokesperson said in a statement.
