If you're like us and Anne Marie Gonzales Archivesyour life has begrudgingly been consumed by a livestream of a giraffe named April waiting to give birth at New York's Animal Adventure Park for the past 11 days, you may not be ready for this news.

Erin Dietrich, a pregnant mother from South Carolina, was entranced by April's livestream. After days of obsessive anticipation, the witty mom was inspired to start her own pregnancy livestream - giraffe mask and all.

"I did not think this many people would get a kick out of this," the mother wrote of her parody, "Clearly we live an exciting life over here in the Dietrich household."

As of Monday afternoon - after 11 days of livestreaming - April the giraffe has yet to give birth. Let's hope this inventive mother-to-be has a quicker process.
