Welcoming a baby

A letter to a little one expected soon.

How it works

Ordinary phone calls — nothing new to learn.

  1. A man smiling at his phone with a laptop on his knees Hands holding a phone beside a laptop A woman on the phone at her kitchen table

    1. Easy setup

    • YouTell us the occasion and who you'd like to hear from — one person or many.
    • WeDraft warm, thoughtful, fitting questions for each conversation based on a few details you share.
    • YouLook them over — reword some, drop some, or add your own.
  2. An elderly man taking a phone call on his couch A smiling woman talking on the phone in a warm room A man on the phone among greenhouse plants A close-up of a woman smiling on the phone

    2. The call

    • WeConnect you with each person by phone — no travel required. And guide you through every call with an easy-to-use screen showing the questions to ask.
    • YouJust have thoughtful phone conversations, starting each call whenever you're ready. Skip or restart a question any time.
    • WeHandle the recording — every answer kept with the question that prompted it, so there's nothing for you to sort out afterwards.
  3. Family and friends gathered around a laptop A mother and two children watching together on the couch A young couple smiling at a laptop together

    3. The movie

    • YouAdd some photos (optional) to bring a recorded voice to life.
    • WeAutomagically weave the recorded questions and answers, and the photos, into a high-quality movie.
    • YouDownload, enjoy, share now — or save to play at a special occasion.

Hello, from before you were here.

Imagine them at eighteen, hearing their grandmother's voice from the very year they were born — her hopes, her blessing, the world as it waited for them.

Gather everyone at the shower, or family near and far, around one set of warm questions. Seal it away, and let it find them when the time is right.

Questions worth asking

A few to start from — keep these, change them, or write your own.

  • What do you hope for this little one?
  • What should they know about the family they're joining?
  • What's the blessing you'd give them?
  • What was happening in the world the year they arrived?
  • What advice would you save for them, for when they're grown?

Welcome them with a keepsake.

Start with one phone call — it's easy.
