Surprise Natural Pregnancy Reveal After 2.5 Years Of Infertility

A husband is left stunned as his wife asks him to check out a pea in a pod ‘Etsy order’ she made - only to realize it’s really a surprise pregnancy reveal after a long infertility battle. Lindsay and Anthony Pohl-Hanzlik, from Colorado, USA, had been through two-and-a-half years of infertility and a year-and-a-half of infertility treatment. In May 2018 they welcomed twin boys Theo and Noah through IVF, and, while completely content as a family of four, knew they would eventually try to add to their family. Accepting the fact they would be unable to conceive naturally they began saving for IVF for baby number three - whenever they decided to try again - until the unexpected happened. Two days before the twin’s first birthday, Lindsay discovered she was pregnant and knowing it might be their only surprise pregnancy, wanted to Anthony in a special way. She created a pea pod with three peas, two the same size and one smaller, with a tag reading ‘Daddy’ and planned to tell him it was a custom order for her Etsy store. As Lindsay approaches Anthony she asks if he will ship it for her and if he can take a look, before he curiously opens the box to inspect her creation asking ‘triplets?’ She tells him to ‘look again’ and he replies ‘two already there and now a baby?’ looking at Lindsay before the realization of what’s happening spreads across his face. Anthony asks ‘Are you pregnant? Are you serious?’ before the pair emotionally embrace.
