- BigJuiceMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+143I should do this...but with drinking beer for 9 months.
- threepio, on 10/12/2007, -4/+86Awwwwwwwww, cute widdle thing :) Well done!
Now in the infamous words of the Preist from my grandmother's parish in Dublin:
Go forth and multiply! (sadly Gramma took it to the extreme - I've got 13 Aunts/Uncles on mom's side - I think Gramma ended up with some sort of geometric math). - MateyO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+82Only he'll be holding his liver at the end.
- wicked9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+55i can buy a baby according to the google ads at the top of the page
- ohhhL3ThaL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Thank you for leaving off the actual birth part.
- floorman56, on 10/12/2007, -12/+60The only way to make it better would be to do it nude or wear the same bathing suit for every photo.
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+43I think the effects will be similar.
- KillerJ59J, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33She was a girl. :) http://www.pressnall.com/
- nikkesen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34This is one of the better things I've seen on digg and very cute. ^_^
- ybnormalman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34Very cool sequence. And congratulations!
- wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32Pretty interesting sequence, but your wife is very unusual to go for this. Most women would be think you were absolutely insane even to ask. Kids, don't try this at home, or the next Digg front page headline will be:
"Man in critial condition after wife beats him with digital camera, breaking jaw and facial bones, then does severe damage to lower intesting after shoving it up his ass." - eggo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28I digg.
I did the same thing (it was actually my wife's idea) but she wore the same thing in each picture. She got much bigger than this, due to gestational diabetes. I just asked her if I could post it on you tube for all to see--she hit me. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I'm definately doing this if I ever get the chance to procreate with a woman!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28I fully agree... and congratulations! Although, she got so big there at the end that I was thinking "holy *****..it's going to be twins".
- electromagnetic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Well beer is reported to make men develop *****.
- fanboydcs, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28wow amazing..
- lokimdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Thanks everyone!
Matt, Carlin, and Ella (baby) Pressnall - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I love these types of things...anyone remember the one with the guy that grows a beard? And I'm pretty sure there is a site where a guy takes a picture of himself every morning..It was on here months ago.
- techiedavid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Congratulation on your son/daughter!
(I vote girl from the shape of the belly) - MehYam, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18I'm going to start taking pictures of the g/f every day, too, even though she's not preggers. Could be a powerful weapon against weight gain and boob droopage.
- foolonthehill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Mmm, a healthy dose of ionizing radiation ever two days is sure to do the developing foetus a world of good.
- doant, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13you have a beautiful wife and now you have a beautiful kid. congrats I hope that you Will have a nice life full of happiness and love.
- terebentina, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17Nice video, I'm doing the same for my baby girl. I'll post it here when she turns 50 years old. :)
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16It's............mesmerizing, really
congratulations, lokimdog (if you made the video). Also, if you made the video, your wife's pretty hot :) - bleonard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I thought it was going to gross me out...but thats pretty damn cool!!
- prankfurter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Congrats, I had wished I done that when my wife was pregnant.
Good job :) - TheKingInYellow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10very nice. i applaud you. i like how the baby just appears in her arms. i would have done more sequences maybe from other angles and positions. it'll just have to wait until my wife and i decide to have kids.
i like. you get a digg. - bigstinky, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12C'mon guys. "Milk missiles" gets modded down? Thumbs up to you from me crass22. Next to my son being born, that was the best part. What kind of men are you? ^5
- lokimdog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8ahecht, we actually like the clothes and hair changes, as well...besides (this goes out to the forum) who here thinks they could get their pregnant wife to change into the same outfit, get her hair to be the same, stand in the same place, and do this day in day out for 9 months when you are both dead tired from nesting (we kicked ass project wise getting ready for Ella)?
Getting the same shot over and over...here's how it was done:
I plugged the digital camera (power) in to the wall socket, placed the camera on some books on the dresser, and then used to some other books (always the same ones) to square the bottom books / camera up with the dresser so that it was always in the same position...it was actually a two person job. Because you are right, we ended up bumping it (no matter how careful we were) and needing to take the camera down because sometimes we'd know folks would be coming over and might see the camera set up (we hadn't told folks at this point) and either figure out Carlin was pregnant.
We basically dedicated the camera to sit there for this project. I used my old SLR to take normal photos and later on the digital video camera we bought could also take decent stills.
We tried to take the photo at the same time of day so the light would be as close to the same as possible but seasons change and sometimes we just went with when it was convenient. Carlin marked off on the floor where to stand and then she just somehow found the same spot over and over again (note her arms against the wall never seem to move). We used the remote so that we weren't touching the camera needlessly.
There are some fun things in the pictures like watching Carlin's different hair styles, the walls change color (we painted), I stood in one so that only my nose was in the picture (I can never spot that one), etc...
The last bit that made it turn out so well is that Carlin is a designer and was able to create a template based on the vertical and horizontal lines in the door frame to match all the pictures to...we probably could have been a lot sloppier had we realized that fact going in.
The shirts: I did something really goofy (and something I had joked about since I started dating Carlin in high school); I made Team Pressnall tshirts:

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and emails...It's been nice sharing. - writerboyVSgod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9If you watch it in reverse it looks like she ate the baby! Like a snake digesting a mouse!
Ok, I've been drinking. - TheAnti, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Never really noticed how big the stomach gets before the baby is born, thanks for the video.
- butlershouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Ahh that will be the age old Billy Connolly song
You take my photograph ( I break your face )
http://www.answers.com/topic/a-change-is-as-good-as-a-rest - ch30046, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6She wore that Rainbow belt alot
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6would have been better if she wore the same clothes for the pictures every day (like get some stretchy white pants and shirt from the start, would have been much easier on the eyes than the sudden flashing of all the clothes changing colors and stuff.
- voodooVince, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5yeah congratulations!
As timelapses go that one was great, quick framerate and consistent positioning! well done ( on more than one front ;-) - shelby1076, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Very cool video. My wife is 20 weeks pregnant, & it's cool to see whats going to happen before hand.
- 15monkeys, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I had the exact opposite experience.
- Ender10, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Very kewl I wish I had thought of that while my wife was prego... ours was borne 3 wks ago.
- Thujone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Congrats
- theobell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Congrats! And very nice. I tried to do that but my wife did not cooperate nearly as much! I had to steal pictures whenever possible!
- TomP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Congrats man your a daaaddy :)
- chubbymidget, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Great idea!
I want to see the one where the moods change - Crass22, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5pretty neat
- lokimdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Venom, I appreciate the concern and I'll take down the two photos. It hadn't even crossed my or my wife's mind to think about it that way since they are devoid of anything that would even make us think of pornography...they were just cute baby bath pictures.
- Fantt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Awesome! Great Digg - video that made me smile a big goofy grin.
Congrats on the baby! Hope you get a full night's sleep soon!! - 1024k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Your project doesn't have to end yet: http://www.zonezero.com/magazine/essays/diegotime/time.html
- bouche, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5me found humour too. everyone knows the milk missles grow during pregnancy. there's no sense in hiding that fact of life. i don't understand how something funny gets a thumbs down.
- turbodigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@mehyam
I'm not sure timelaps boob sagging would be a good thing..... - pixidust, on 10/12/2007, -13/+16thats so cool! Congratulations.
