According to David, Laura started showing signs of pregnancy, and he was perceptive enough to notice. Honestly, my partner wouldn’t even notice if I were expecting a dinosaur! But David decided to investigate whether Laura was pregnant before she even had the chance to take a test. How did he do it? He told a popular parenting blog, “I turned off the toilet water in the middle of the night and flushed so there was no water in it.” And to his shock, the test came back positive! He even shared this entire surprising scenario in a viral video on YouTube.
Instead of blaming the clinic for this mix-up, David maintained a remarkably cool demeanor. He simply felt they should have followed up with him. “It’s a little unprofessional not to let us know, but those procedures aren’t perfect, so I don’t fault them for not working,” he remarked. Honestly, I would have been way more stressed, but kudos to David for being so laid-back about it!
A Vital Lesson for Family Planning
For those of you who are not looking to expand your family, take this as a vital lesson. If you want peace of mind about your vasectomy, definitely follow up, even if the clinic assures you they’ll reach out. Let’s face it—how often do doctors actually call when they say they will? My partner had a vasectomy after our second child, and you better believe we eagerly followed up on his sperm count. We’d been waiting to resume intimacy, and there was no way I was taking any chances without a clear green light from his doctor.
When we finally did check back with the clinic, the nurses informed us, “You have three dead swimmers.” Sure, they were dead, but they were still there, and I wasn’t taking any chances. We waited for the confirmation of a big fat zero before moving forward.
David’s Unusual Pregnancy Announcement
Now, back to David’s unusual pregnancy announcement. While we certainly didn’t need the details of how he extracted his wife’s urine from the toilet bowl (thank you, David, for sparing us those specifics), we couldn’t be happier for this family, who is expecting their little one in March 2017.
