The woman really wanted a shellfish meal after her pregnancy and her husband went out of his way to arrange it.
Pregnancy might bring about certain dietary restrictions to ensure that both the mother and the baby are healthy and out of harm's way. But it isn't exactly a fun thing to give up on your favorite foods for nine months. Similarly, a mom had to give up on raw oysters as uncooked shellfish isn't considered safe for a pregnant woman. But her husband came through with flying colors when he arranged a gourmet postpartum shellfish meal for his wife. The woman Rach Sullivan, who goes by @rachsullivan_ on TikTok, shared the moment through a video.
"We are on a very important mission, it is to meet this guy right here," the husband began. "The oyster man," he pointed out as a man walked up with a big bag to make the meal possible. "When all your wife wants for her first meal after giving birth is raw oysters on a half shell, you make it happen," the text overlay read. "Let's go," the husband said as both of them started walking towards the mom's room. "It's the one thing you wanted," the man declared before the other person made a grand entry with the oysters, leaving the wife in splits. He laid down the tray and other utensils for the condiments. The oyster came with dressings like cucumber salsa verde, grapefruit ginger mignonette and hot sauce.
He filled the tray for oysters with ice and laid down a bunch of tools to cut open the shellfish and remove it from its shell. The woman even posed with the tray full of shellfish before starting. She did a "cheers" before eating the first one and expressed, "You guys, I am so happy," with her eyes closed as the others laughed. "I am so happy, I am so emotional," she went on, while on the verge of crying. She was in the middle of laughing and crying as she picked up her second shellfish and added a bit of dressing to it. "It is so good; I am so happy."
I don't know if she was more emotional over meeting our baby or eating the oysters," the man joked in the caption of the video. The husband's heartwarming gesture received over 6.3 million views and more than 1.1 million likes. People took to the comments section of the video to appreciate the wholesome gesture. @bowies.mom wrote, "The first meal after birth should be like this for everyone. Whatever you want to be delivered right to your room." @ilisillybunny commented, "I just told my husband this and I am telling him to make a mental note for March, lol. I have friends who are chefs and I said you could hire any of them. I just want oysters."
@propertyofironside shared, "Nobody better EVER talk down on this relationship. That man is the epitome of a green flag. The love. The care. The effort." @madisongraycecandles remarked, "The love language here is SOLID! You so deserved those oysters, momma! I’m glad you were heard. Congrats on your bundle of joy!" @spivey994 expressed, "My husband rushed to get me sushi right after I had our daughter. I ate it while holding her and baptized her in soy sauce! (She was my 4th it was fine.)"
@rachsullivan__ Idk if she was more emotional over meeting our baby or eating the oysters 😂
