She also included the hashtags, #teamnomorebabies, #snipsniphooray, and #recreationaluseonly and also added the scissors, family, and heart emojis.
Having undergone two C-sections to give birth to the couple’s children — daughter Harper was born in 2013 and son Brody arrived in July 2017 — Kimberly told Bored Panda that her husband was now taking ‘one for the team’.
And to show her appreciation, she decided to throw him a party to celebrate, complete with meatballs and sausages as appetizers, as well as a basket filled with pun-tastic goodies including Milk Duds, beef jerky, Ding Dongs, and seeds.
She also filled surgical gloves with frozen peas, which many men who undergo the procedure use for relief afterward.
For dessert, there was a cake bidding ‘RIP’ to his sperm, complete with iced sperm decorating the sides.
She also made customized T-shirts for her hubby and offspring. Jason’s read ‘Time to retire the swim team’, while Harper and Brody’s said ‘Swim team survivors.’

Since posting the announcement on her Facebook page, the pictures have gone viral with over 80,000 likes and 52,000 shares, Many women tagged their male partners in the comments.
And Kimberly also shared that most people have seen the funny side.
‘Since the post went viral I’d say the majority of the feedback has been positive. A lot of people found the humour in the story, which is why I shared it to begin with,’ she explained.

‘So far the frozen pea hands are working out perfect!’ she wrote. ‘He was nervous about it and he’s in some pain, but says it’s not really that big of a deal. Although that could be the pain meds talking!’
