Designer Byron Louie made a time-lapse video showing his wife Monique’s pregnancy in 90 seconds by taking a photo of her each day — sometimes even alongside their dogs Dunder and Munster at their Milpitas, Calif. home. The heartwarming clip tracks the nine-month journey from ultrasound photos to building a nursery to holding the new baby.

Louie also created a timelapse [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld7F-MBNesE) of the family’s German Shepherd Dunder transforming from a puppy into an adult dog in 90 seconds that has racked up more than 8.1 million views since it was uploaded to YouTube four years ago.
