Here's a MUST WATCH! A few weeks ago, my husband Eric Sadiwnyk got quite the surprise on our returning flight from Las Vegas. There aren't enough Thank You's for the crew of American Airlines Flight 607 (1/13/16) with service from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. You all helped me to pull this off seamlessly! I'm hoping if this video makes it around the internet a bit, I may be able to find the crew and Thank them again! I'll also be sending a copy to American Airlines Customer Relations. I love you Eric Sadiwnyk!

It’s particularly tough when you try and keep a secret from someone who knows you well. Not only do you have to be super sneaky, but you also have to be extremely creative when it comes time for the big reveal.
Lisa Sadiwnyk had the challenge of keeping a huge secret from her spouse, and she worked hard to create a unique and special reveal for her husband, Eric.
The couple had just enjoyed a vacation in Las Vegas and were about to fly back home on a red-eye flight. It was on the plane ride home that Lisa would reveal her big surprise… she was pregnant!
The mom-to-be wanted to share the big news with her husband and decided to plan a special announcement in an amazing way...
Lisa discovered she was pregnant during the couple's vacation and had to keep the news a secret for three days.
Before the vacation came to an end, she reached out to the crew of American Airlines Flight 607, the plane that Lisa and Eric would fly home on following their Las Vegas vacation.
The couple from Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania had wanted to start a family together, and Lisa knew that this was a perfect opportunity to surprise her husband.
"I don't get a lot of opportunity to surprise my husband,” Lisa shared with Today. “I just thought it would be fun to really catch him off guard and surprise him with great news."

Before the passengers loaded the plane, Lisa pretended she needed to get “snacks.”
While Eric waited for their red-eye flight, Lisa snuck off to speak to two crew members. She had typed up the note she hoped the pilot would read, and after explaining the exciting surprise to the crew, she was able to convince them to help carry out it out. "They were a little wary at first but when I told them why, they were super-excited," Lisa said.
The passengers boarded the plane, and Lisa waited for the big announcement to take place…

Unsuspectingly, Eric relaxed in his seat, waiting for the plane to take off while the pilot went through his pre-flight announcements. It wasn’t until the pilot called out Eric’s seat number that he began to take notice…
“Now we’d like to draw your attention to seat 29E, where you’ll find Eric who's traveling with his wife, Lisa,” the pilot began on the speakers, immediately catching Eric’s attention. "Well, Eric, although you didn't strike it rich here in Las Vegas, you did hit the jackpot. Congratulations. You're about to be a dad!"
Immediately the plane erupted into applause, while Eric and his expecting wife shared a special kiss.
"By the time he said my name, and 'Congratulations, you're pregnant,' I looked to her and she was crying and I was crying," Eric shared.
The soon-to-be-dad shared that it was shocking at first as he hadn’t been paying attention to what was occurring around him. “The last thing you expect is for [the pilot] to be talking to you,” Eric said. "I was shocked at first and I was excited."
Lisa not only succeeded in surprising her husband, but she was also able to capture the whole reveal on video!
