The love you experience as a mother is unlike any love you have known before, and as your belly is expanding, so is your heart. Before you are holding your precious baby, you are anxiously counting down the months, weeks, days, and hours. But as the time passes, you will realize that the moments you are growing your tiny Valentine, those are the moments you will want to remember forever. They are the only moments that will always belong solely to you. Every hiccup, kick, twist and turn are yours to feel. You know your baby before anyone else every meets him. Instead of wishing the calendar to move faster, take the opportunity to create lasting memories of your pregnancy.

Recording your baby's heartbeat will be a sound that brings a smile to your face throughout your entire parenting journey, but did you know that you can add a second heart recorder to your My Baby's Heartbeat Bear Animal? You can use this recorder to capture a message from yourself or family member, a poem, or even the portion of a lullaby or favorite song.

Such a small addition to your keepsake will make it even more personal. And if you struggle with coming up with what to record, we've got you covered.
