AWWWWSVILLE — A little girl in Colorado had the sweetest reaction when she found out her mom is going to have a baby.
Parents can sometimes stress out about telling their kids there's another baby on the way. Viral videos like this show that things don't always go as planned when you reveal mommy's having a baby (and thanks to YouTube, those epic meltdowns will echo across the Internet forever).
That’s what makes this video so sweet. Jacob and Hannah Ouellette, from Parker, Colorado, decided to their their kids Faithlyn, 6, and Ethan, 3, that mommy was going to have a baby by putting an ultrasound picture in their Easter eggs.
Faithlyn knew the ultrasound picture meant a baby but she didn't exactly understand what the clue meant. When Jacob Ouellette finally told her and Ethan that it means mommy is pregnant with a new baby, Faithlyn's reaction is priceless.
Her jaw drops as she looks back and forth between her mom and dad to confirm the news. When she realizes it's true, Faithlyn rushes to hug her mom and can’t stop squealing with happiness. Both kids grin ear-to-ear while gently touching their mommy's tummy.
And it that wasn't cute enough, Faithlyn shows her excitement by exclaiming to her parents, "I can't thank you enough!"
Jacob, 34, a pastor at Thrive Church, told KSL.com in an email that Faithlyn has been begging for a new brother or sister for months.
"She is an over-the-top expressive person. I thought she could have a cool response," Ouellette wrote. "She topped our expectations."
After Ouellette's congregation went crazy over the video, they decided to post it to YouTube.
"After 24 hours the video started taking off and going viral," he wrote. "It is so amazing to see people from all around the world enjoy this moment with us."
One thing's for sure — baby Ouellette, due Nov. 25, will have the best big sister around.
