A husband burst into tears of joy when he turned the canvas during a couple's portrait session and discovered his wife was pregnant. When Chelsea Croft, 34, from Nashville, Tennessee, discovered that she was pregnant, she began thinking of creative ways to break the news to husband Chris, 32. Initially, Chelsea grabbed a pair of baby boy and baby girl socks while at a local store, but then she saw the craft aisle, with its canvases, easels, paints and brushes. Over the past year, Chelsea had been suggesting they partake in the online trend of couples painting each other, and so she through this would be the perfect foil to break her big news. With an ice storm hitting outside, on January 25, Chelsea decided it was the perfect time to hunker down and challenge Chris to paint her. Once the couple finished their masterpieces, Chelsea set her phone to record and asked Chris to record her turning around his painting, so as not to raise suspicion. Then, with Chelsea holding her phone, Chris turned around his wife's canvas, which featured the words: "Baby Croft #2 Due 2026."

00:11this dad-to-be never saw coming.
00:15Hunkered down during a storm,

00:32That's not that bad.
00:34I'm just a little pink.
00:35And I mean, I know I got some man's shoulders,
00:37but yeah, dang, you made me a whole ass lawnmacher.
00:41But that's a thing.
00:43Actually, it's way better than I expected it to be,
00:45if I'm being 100% honest.
00:47My nose kind of looks like a big toe, but that's OK.
00:51You didn't give me spider lashes or accentuate my rosacea.
00:54I got a little bit of a football helmet going on for hair,
00:57but that's OK.
