Mark noticed that Amy was feeling unusually fatigued and exhibiting signs of pregnancy. A guy who can pick up on those cues must be a rare breed! Seriously, my partner wouldn’t bat an eye if I were pregnant with a dinosaur right now. If I mentioned being more tired than usual? “Meh, just a phase,” he’d say. And a late period? Just another day in the life!
So, Mark, being the proactive husband, decided to confirm Amy’s potential pregnancy before she even had a clue. How did he do that? Brace yourselves. He told PEOPLE, “I turned off the toilet water in the middle of the night and flushed so there was no water in it.” Yep, that’s right. He managed to gather evidence in a rather unconventional way. He then documented the entire hilarious reveal — and Amy’s reaction — in a viral YouTube video.
Rather than being upset about this unexpected baby, Mark didn’t lay blame on the clinic either. He simply thought they should have reached out for a follow-up. “It’s a little unprofessional not to let us know, but these procedures aren’t perfect, so I can’t be too mad,” he said. Honestly, he’s taking it all in stride, way cooler than I would be. But listen up, all you folks who are keen on not adding to your brood: let this be a lesson! If you want peace of mind about your vasectomy, make sure to follow up, even if the clinic promises they’ll call. How often do they actually do that? Exactly!
After my partner had his vasectomy following our second child, you better believe we called to check on his sperm count. We were itching to get back to our romantic life, but I wasn’t ready to take any risks. I had enough baby-related chaos on my plate. So, when we did finally check back, the nurses told us, “You have three dead swimmers.” Sure, they might have been dead, but I wasn’t taking any chances until we got a solid zero. Another follow-up was definitely in order!
Now, while Mark didn’t get into the nitty-gritty of how he retrieved Amy’s urine from the toilet (thank you for that, Mark), who on Earth would go fishing for their spouse’s pee? Absolutely not. Just… no.
Despite this wild story and announcement, we’re genuinely happy for this family. Their new addition is expected in March 2017.
