Telling My Parents I'M PREGNANT *did NOT go as planned!!*

We're PREGNANT. And we're really excited for 2022.
We wanted to tell Ruth's parents that we are pregnant in a creative and meaningful way, so we made them a hand-drawn animation. Seeing the ultrasound for the first time made our little human feel like a far-off astronaut floating and waiting to meet us - and we couldn't think of a song that more encapsulated our emotions than David Bowie's STARMAN. Thank you all so much for your support and make sure you watch all the way to the end to see Ruth's parents reactions.. it's pretty great.
ALSO.. HUGE SHOUTOUT to Thomas' twin sister and brother-in-law who were kind enough to record this beautiful cover for us. It's perfect.

    So powerful. If I was medically drugged up, I might not get it either. But it tells the story so well. So otherworldly, literally and figuratively. How a child is like an otherworldly being that God places into our hands to live. You tell that story so well. (Where’s that dang tissue box?)

    Hahaha yeah they were pretty out of it - and we spent a long time trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal. And thank you so much for your kind words - the baby really feels so foreign, but yet so personal at the same time!

    Thanks Millie! It was a lot of work, but it was so much fun learning some new things. I've always wanted to try more stop-motion. There are a lot of things I learned and would do differently next time, but it was just a fun little project. We're so excited! 😊

    Hahaha yeeahh it took awhile to do, but it was just a lot of fun trying to learn new things. Interestingly enough, the drawing and animating really didn't take that long - but the editing took forever! Anyway, their reaction was just perfect and we were so relieved to be able to tell them. Now to just wait for our little starman / starwoman!
