Do You Like This Story?

One couple in the US have spent nine months working on a novel way of announcing the birth of their baby girl to the world.

The 90 second time-lapse video captures the progress of the woman’s belly from the moment the couple discovered they were pregnant – illustrated with a high five – to the birth of their daughter, Amelie Amaya.

The couple have been showered with compliments on their YouTube channel including this one from user, Britbrit910111, “Everything about this video is perfect including little baby Amelie!!!! Congrats and make more videos..youve got talent  : )” and “This is the most beautiful video I have seen on you tube. Thanks for sharing,” from user, rumrasin1970

Thank you Erin.

    Ahhhhhh….. At last. A lovely, sweet, wholesome, beautiful and joyful video on the internet. Thank you. It put a wee song into my withered, cynical, nasty-news-overdosed heart.

    This is wonderful. My children were born in the days when you took a photo and saved up to get the film developed and that usually took at least 3 days if you were lucky! There was the anxious wait to see if they “turned out” and the disappointed if they did not because the moment had passed. I love the times we live in. What a beautiful gift for their daughter. Although my children tell me they treasure the album of photos and momentos I made for them, I wish I could have done something as special as this.

    Really cute but I think I must be quite a-retentive – all I can think is, oh my goodness, look at all those shoes everywhere, that would drive me nuts!!

      I tried to make a gallery of Nicky (in our office). I took photos of her every day during her pregnancy. And then I dropped my phone in water and lost them all
