To make it even sweeter, he found out he and his wife were having a girl. He saw Bridget Konttinen holding up a sign that their first child, due in January, will be a girl.

“I was walking back around and Bridget was holding up a sign, and it said — ‘Ryan, it’s a girl,’” Murphy said. “That was the first time I heard the gender.

“We both — we honestly both thought it was going to be a boy. And everyone — like everyone — we were talking to, they thought it was going to be a boy.”
