The Emotions Behind an Ultrasound
The day has come to say hello, to see the one who’s still so small.
A heartbeat will bring many tears, but still will come all the fears.
Will she grow strong and tall? Will we lose him… and my heart will fall?
Are there two or three? Will my birth choice be mine to make free?
My arms ache to hold you. My heart aches to know you.
Above all else though, I know you are mine.
I will love you in every way, no matter what the doctor will say.
Today is the day that I will see your face, tiny and real, you will move to a place
A place in my heart I had never found…
Until today’s ultrasound.
-E.MacDonald
Once you have held and listened to one of our stuffed animals with a heartbeat pounding away, you too will fall in love. I wanted to take a moment and write about our heartbeat animals and who we are.

Eight long tentacles and a smile that can brighten any room, Susan the Octopus is a fun loving animal of the ocean! She can make friends with any passing squid, and is always ready for a celebration. Spending her days sun-bathing near the top of the water, Susan enjoys watching the families on the beach in front of her. She often likes to swim just close enough to feel their presence, but not so close that she scares them. Susan has a secret: she longs for her own family to build sandcastles with. One day, Susan was relaxing in the waves and enjoying a brunch with her fish friends as she heard something from the beach ahead. A panicked yelling from what Susan knew had to be a mother. She could not find her small child anywhere, and the lifeguards were beginning to search the waters. Susan knew she could help. She dropped her prawns and went completely still. She tried to tune everything else out and listened for a sign of the child. In the distance, Susan heard a faint “Mama” cry, but more intensely she heard a pounding heartbeat. She sprung into action.

Kane is a Blue Whale, a mammal belonging to the baleen whale family. He comes from a very long line of mighty Blue Whales. Weighing in at 190 tons, Kane is use to others fearing him. But Kane is nothing to fear, for he has a loving and giving heart. He can sense when there are troubles in the sea and is always looking to help. He provides rides to those smaller than him, a wonderful hiding place to anyone scared, and uses his strength to move, lift, and help any animal in need. One day, the seas turned rough. The waters became darker and sands began to churn. The animals of the ocean knew to stay home, for a great storm was on the surface. But Kane could not sleep. Even through all of the underwater storm sounds, he heard something: something new. He knew he was being called to help. Kane set out against the waves and rough seas, following the sound that was calling to him. He followed it to the surface, where he saw a sailboat struggling in the storm. The night sky was painted dark blue, with clouds covering the moon. The nearest land could not be seen. This boat was in trouble. Kane heard the sound grow louder as he swam closer to the small boat. He had never ventured this close to humans before, but the sound called to him. Suddenly, he could see aboard the boat: Humans, two of them. The sound grew louder, the sound of a heart beating, but it was not from the man or the woman. The noise that had beckoned Kane was a baby’s heartbeat. These humans were growing a baby! And this tiny, unborn creature was in danger tonight. There was a family aboard this vessel and they needed Kane’s help to find their home.
