When my husband and I conceived our very first and just kid in the fall of 2013, we were as well excited to think. We couldn’t come up along with a witty pregnancy announcement or also develop some sort of super cute surprise. Instead, we blurted it out at a family supper (shortly after my already-suspicious mother-in-law available me a glass of wine). So I’ve got to say, I offer Erik Herrera and his wife, Rebecca, a ton of credit. Not just did they maintain their pregnancy a secret, the couple it a secret long sufficient to make a pregnancy announcement “movie trailer.”
But Erik and Rebecca are no strangers to waiting. In an interview along with TODAY, Erik explained he and Rebecca have actually been attempting to conceive for 5 years. As quickly as their latest attempt at IVF proved successful, Erik knew wished to do something really special:
When any kind of woman goes through infertility treatments, it’s crucial to have actually a sustain network of others for her to lean on, especially throughout the failures. My wife sort of felt a little robbed that she couldn’t have actually a normal, surprise pregnancy announcement. She believed everybody knew — that they were either in the sustain network or were praying for us — so I wished to do something so special that she would certainly nearly forget all the past 5 years.
So exactly what did Erik and Rebecca do? Well, they earned an adorable and hilarious movie trailer concerning their pregnancy, entitled “Pregnancy: Official Trailer.”
The trailer, which is narrated by voice actor Jon Bailey — of “Honest Trailers” — begins along with a basic statement, “Welcome to Marriagetown.” Clips of the couples’ young life with each other flash across the screen prior to the very literal bomb drops: “That is, until every little thing you already know suddenly goes down the fallopian tube. Pregnancy.”
However, the Herrera’s trailer is a lot more compared to a four-min pregnancy announcement. I mean, sure, it entails points you would certainly anticipate — enjoy ultrasound images and video and a wonderful clip from As quickly as Erik and Rebecca very first heard their unborn baby’s heartbeat — However it likewise makes something of a social commentary concerning the not-so-terrific (and downright frustrating) aspects of pregnancy, enjoy becoming a “petting zoo” and having to “endure countless unsolicited questions and comments,” in a enjoyable and jestful way.
Congratulations, Erik and Rebecca, and delight in every min of your 40-ish-week quest and of this “quite emotional roller coaster” called pregnancy and parenthood.
