Talk about announcing their news in style!
We thought we’d already seen the best pregnancy announcements in recent months, but this latest video from The Murrays has to be one of our favourites.
The two couples decided to tell their friends and family their big news in the best way possible, doing a parody of Shut Up And Dance.
“We had seen a couple of parody announcements floating around and talked about how fun it would be to make one if we ever had a fourth,” they explained.
“When we found out Jon’s brother Aaron and his wife Liz were also pregnant – all four of us knew we wanted to do a video together to announce it to our family and friends, especially since our due dates are so close together.”
“There’s a weird stigma attached to having more than two children these days, especially hen you have multiple of the same gender.
“I’ve had our child’s paediatrician ask me if I wanted information on birth control options during a well baby check (without ever implying that we were done having kids) and when I told the optometrist that I was pregnant with baby number four he actually replied, ‘I’m sorry’.
“It caught me off guard for a minute before I responded with, ‘We aren’t!’
“So I think for us especially, it was important to portray that babies are a joy and your first, second, or fourth… they are each worth singing and dancing about!”
Take a look… It’s cheesy and we love it!
