Union City HS feels like going home for me. While I attended a high school in a neighboring town, this high school is where my mom went to school and where my sister currently works and her children attend. On 4/20/26, Life On Display provided 5 live ultrasound presentations to almost 100 students and staff during biology, anatomy and life science classes with the help of two amazing moms who were able to give their entire day to the effort. Their babies were 8 weeks and 27 weeks and they did not disappoint!

This is officially the youngest baby we have put on display and the students and teachers alike were shocked at how beautiful life is at that age. You could even still see the yolk sac that is only a little smaller than an 8 week baby who measures about 1/2 inch long. The baby’s head, abdomen, arms and beating heart could be discerned thanks to the quality of imaging.

Just a reminder that ultrasound is safe but elective ultrasound needs to be cognizant of the delicacy of life at its earliest stages. Keeping each presentation of an 8 week fetus to less than 5 minutes is the prudent choice and makes sense for this type of presentation anyway since the baby does not move much. It’s enough to see the baby, see the flicker that is the heart beating and point out the baby’s surroundings, including uterine wall, amniotic fluid, yolk sac.

Thank you again to Mrs. Katz for the invitation to return this year and especially to the two moms who made the day possible💕

Another 70 students, mostly 11th graders, got to witness the lives of 7 beautiful babies during 4 presentations given at a high school in Traverse City. The babies were 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 32 weeks. Each class got to see 2-3 moms, with some moms staying for 2 presentations. We focus a lot on numbers because the impact we have matters. But the most important number is the ONE baby whose life could change because its mother or father saw a Life On Display presentation.

Thank you to the mamas who volunteered and made this day a great success💕

For the first time, researchers at MIT have been able to witness the exact moment human life switches on — not minutes or hours later, but the very instant fertilization occurs.

What unfolds in that split second is remarkable. The egg doesn’t simply react randomly. Instead, a coordinated surge of biochemical activity sweeps across it, like a silent signal being flipped on. Scientists describe this as a clear starting point — a biological “time zero” that launches all development that follows.

Even more fascinating is how structured this activation is. The waves move in rhythmic, ordered patterns rather than chaos, echoing mathematical forms found everywhere in nature. The same proportions seen in spirals, shells, plant growth, and even galaxies appear to be reflected at the very beginning of human life.

It’s a powerful reminder that from the very first second, life follows deep and universal rules woven into the fabric of nature itself.

Eleven kindergarten and first graders from LGC Homeschool Co-Op in Nappanee, IN got to see a 17 week baby and a 24 week baby this past week! The kids loved seeing the babies kick and stretch and listening to their heartbeats. This age group always has the best questions and observations and these kids lived up to the standard.

Thank you to the volunteer moms and babies for making the presentation possible. And thank you for the invite to present to your kids.

Visiting UNF was another giant success, with talk of Life On Display returning again next year! With the help of 5 volunteer moms, well over 100 students observed the lives of 4 little girls and 1 too early to tell during the lunch hour in front of the Student Union. The babies were 11, 14, 18, 19 and 30 weeks. Mixed reactions from the students makes the task of showing the truth of how we all spent our first 9 months very rewarding and validating.

We appreciate all the moms for giving a good portion of their day and to the student group who hosted our visit. We literally can’t provide this service with you all💕

I love visiting Florida in the winter for Life On Display! A successful trip to Dunedin where about a dozen high school students and just as many adult members of the community got to see a beautiful 32-week baby show off! The students in this religious ed program asked amazing questions and engaged in dynamic conversation and debate. It was a pleasure to spend so much time with them and they gave me hope for our future🥰
