She explained: "My sister had a baby, Lily, she's two now. But I remember going in to see her in the Coombe.
"Grace was one. I had said to my gynaecologist, 'No, done, shop is closed', and my doctor said, 'I've heard of women like you before'.
"Anyway, I went in to see my sister in the Coombe, held the baby, gave her back, ran outside, rang my husband, was like, 'Do you want another baby?', and he was like, 'Not on your f***ing life'."
Kathryn laughing added: "So that was the end of that conversation. And very quickly I kind of was like... the hormone release died down, I was fine."

"I hadn't been sleeping great for the last year with lots of different things going on and then when you get into a routine, which I've never had before.
'I'M DELIGHTED'
"I've gotten to 46 years of age and I've never had a job where I have to be somewhere Monday to Friday. And I was like, 'Oh, routine won't suit me'. And then I had this chat with Dermot Whelan on his podcast and he was like, 'Routine suits everybody'.
"I put the kids to bed at half eight, I'm in bed at nine and I'm asleep by ten. I'm actually then up at twenty past five.
"So I'm sleeping better now and sleeping more than I would have for the last couple of years.

"But I'm actually feeling more energetic than I have done in, I can't remember when. So I'm delighted."

Story of a Song review: Delve into the ballad Grace falls short of filling us in on its afterlife
Rod moves in mysterious ways – and what an impact he ( Rod Stewart , that is) has had on Grace, the maudlin 1916 Rising ballad which has undergone a remarkable resurgence since the rasping rocker started belting it out at his concerts. Stewart has talked a great deal about how Grace has yanked at his heartstrings – on the Late Late Show several years ago, he spent practically the entire interview wiping away tears. But there is more to the tune than a sobbing classic rocker, and the tale of Grace and its rebirth receives a more origin-focused, less Rod-centric retelling in the first episode of the latest season of Aistear an Amhráin ( RTÉ One, 7pm, Tuesday). The informative documentary series traces the evolution of well-loved songs. A run time of just 30 minutes leaves little space for mucking about and Sinéad Ní Churnáin cracks on from the outset by rewinding to 1916 and the love affair between Grace Gifford and Joseph Mary Plunkett, as recounted in the lyrics of Grace. They were the doomed couple who tied the knot hours before Plunkett was marched before a British firing squad for his part in the Easter Rising. READ MORE Plunkett was executed at Kilmainham Gaol, where singer Aoife Scott performs several lines from the song (a favourite of Olympic boxer Kellie Harrington ). 'There is a very particular atmosphere here,' Scott says. 'I felt these vibrations in the walls. It was very strange. That's why so many people visit Kilmainham Gaol.' Joseph Mary Plunkett was a signatory of the Proclamation Grace is often assumed to have dated from the early 20th century, but, as Ní Churnáin reveals, it was written in the 1980s, a boom-time for dewy-eyed ballads bashed out by hairy Irish folk singers. In this case, the hairy folk singer was Jim McCann, who received the tune, with thanks, from Frank and Seán O'Meara, songwriting siblings from Mullingar, Co Westmeath. 'Jim McCann was over the moon,' says Frank, who wrote the melody and who plays back a grainy early recording that is far jauntier than the version Stewart has belted out across the world for several years. The idea for writing about Gifford and Plunkett came to Seán after he was asked to rustle up a hit to order. Though aware of Plunkett, he knew little of Gifford until delving into her story. 'I may not have known before I did the research what Grace's name was,' he says. As a sort of idiot's guide to Stewart's favourite Irish weepy, Aistear an Amhráin ticks the boxes. Still, it would have been useful to hear more about the track's afterlife. For instance, how is it that former senator Donie Cassidy reportedly came to hold the copyright to Grace? And how much is it worth? Such details would have helped the viewer better appreciate the impact of Grace and reveal something we didn't already know (most of the audience are surely familiar with the story of Gifford). How, for that matter, did Stewart come upon it? You wanted to dive deeper into the story of Grace and its incredible recent renaissance, but, for all its good work, Aistear an Amhráin didn't go far enough in filling in the blanks.

TV star Muireann O'Connell buys new dream home in Dublin
Ireland AM star Muireann is thrilled to get the keys to her new home, a beautiful period three-bedroom mid-terrace house. Take a look at the dream house broadcaster Muireann O'Connell has bought after falling in love with it. The beautiful period three-bedroom mid-terrace house in a Dublin suburb was on the market for €675,000, but it's likely to have sold for more than €700,000. Ireland AM star Muireann is engaged to Phil Manzor, who is a high flying radio executive, and the current content controller for Dublin radio stations FM104 and Q102. Limerick woman Muireann has previously complained how she struggled to find a place of her own, having rented for years in the Stoneybatter area of the capital. Muireann O'Connell's new home News in 90 Seconds - May 29th She once described her years of house hunting as a 'nightmare', and said that properties the couple bid on had gone for €100,000 over their asking price. The brochure for her new property, the exact location of which we are not revealing, described it as being well-proportioned accommodation over three floors with private front and rear gardens. The house has an open plan kitchen/dining room which opens to the main living room. The back garden has rear access though double gates, a central lawned area, brick built shed and patio area finished with sandstone patio slabs. Muireann (42) shares Limerick connections with Phil as he went to university in her home town. He grew up in Co Offaly and was content and programming director with Today FM for just over a year and a half until he parted ways with the station. Prior to that, he was content director at youth station Spin for four years, and before that held a similar position with a couple of Scottish radio stations. The couple got engaged in Co Kerry in 2021. 'It's a strange thing because, yes, I'm a public figure but I'm just a person who happens to be on the telly,' Muireann once told the Sunday World, when she admitted she didn't want to talk too openly about her fiancé, describing him as her 'housemate'. 'If I was in a different job I think I'd be the exact same way. 'I don't think ever in my entire life, other than with friends, have I talked about who I'm going out with.' Muireann shared pictures on social media from her new home this week. 'The bathroom does need a little bit of work but I think once we get the bathroom done we can then just move in and any other work that needs to be done we'll do while we're here,' she explained, while showing a picture of the bathroom. 'Thank you to the lovely previous owners and to everyone who helped us to get here. Ye are the best. 'We've been terrible at this process. God, house buying has been a slog. I know it's not easy. For anyone going through it, much love. It can be soul destroying. But bloody hell, do I feel good today.'
