For many parents who no longer want to have children, the decision to take fertility into their own hands can be an emotionally taxing one. Hysterectomies are major surgeries, though technological advancements have decreased recovery symptoms and times; vasectomies are much more minor. Nonetheless, these are not decisions people take lightly, but if you're wife and mom Leah Randall of Rochester, Washington, you can at least approach it with a sense of humour.
When she and her husband Willie Randall decided they were done having kids — they have three adorable children — they decided Willie would get a vasectomy. But what happened next was anything but traditional. Leah threw her husband a vasectomy party.
In a now-viral post, good-humoured Leah told CafeMom she had the idea to do this from an old newspaper clipping. The first thing she did as self-appointed party planner of this vasectomy party was head to her baker to get something appropriate.
