warn shower, DH brush out my hair, warm drink, brush teeth, pillow under belly (one on each side, for when the obligatory roll came!), pillow between the knees, a CD on (classical or something with no words!) and then prayers (aiming to unload any concerns on God, so I can try to let them go) and then imagining different plesant situations, like taking bathing bub, or taking bub to the pool or the beach for the first time, or auditioning for Australian Idol, or going on a second honeymoon with DH or whatever ... planning it down to the last detail. I found if I picked the right scenario for my mood I would be out within 2 minutes.

good luck!
