Expensive Mom-to-be…
Via the pathway of life, two turn into three,
A brand new department evolves on the household tree.
Surprise! Pleasure! Pleasure!

A journey new, but shared, that will help you turn into a mom.
Footsteps strolling facet by facet.
Concepts and needs, fears shared from the center,
To encourage your path and provides a head begin.
Mentioned over tea, minds open and true.
With the beginning of light rhythms, a brand new daybreak is close to,
Kicking tempo of start, one lets you steer.

Whispered positions, guiding fingers on that are protected to lean,
Discard your fears and reservations, let earth-side track gleam.
Fluid actions in trance-like state.
