 I freaked out and grieved for 2 days, and then centered myself (just days
 before birth!). We spent 12 hours in libraries pouring over medical texts,
 spent hours interviewing specialists and researchers, and did some deep soul
 searching and meditating. In the end we trusted ourselves, our intuition,
 and the instinctive path we have experienced as so life-changing. We knew
 what we must do.

 Our baby was born at home "unassisted" after two hours of the most blissful
 labour I could ever have imagined. He was, and is, radiantly healthy and
 beautiful.  >>

Ingrid - I am awed by your determination and courage with this process of
birthing  your miraculous baby!

You are an inspiration!

Love, Sandy
