Conference downloads on sale

All downloads from AAMI's 2008 Trust Birth Conference and the Helping Hands Conference are on sale through the end of December. This is a fantastic way to listen to speakers you've always wanted to hear. Some of the ones I'd really like to get:
If I had to choose only one, it would be, hands down, Rachel Correa's talk about the stillbirth of her first baby. I can't even try to describe it so I will just say listen to it yourself. While she was speaking--about the stillbirth of her daughter Stella, about other parents of stillborn children, about her three other children's births--she showed photographs of these births and babies, of her family, of her grieving and healing process. If you buy this download, I'd recommend contacting Rachel about obtaining a copy of her Powerpoint to go along with her talk. I have no idea if she'd be willing to share the pictures, but I think the presentation is not complete without the images. She used my laptop during the presentation, so I am lucky to still have the slideshow on my computer.
