'I am not what happened to me; I am what I chose to become' C Jung

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and counting... and was unable to find someone professionally that I trusted enough to take me through hypnobirthing type classes. Someone very special (but also far away geographically) has made me some recordings to help motherhood on its way.
