I’ve been loading up my ipod with music I want to listen to while I labor. At first I was trying to think of songs that would be appropriate for a birth, and then I thought, “Screw that!” I’m putting in the songs I want to hear regardless of whether they are birth appropriate. At first I thought it would be like those folks who play “I Will Survive” and those other fun, but really break-up songs, at their weddings, but then I realized the whole point of the music is to power me up when I need it and to calm me down when I need it. So even though Liz Phair and the Beastie Boys may not be the most child friendly, they’re what I want to hear. Although Adam gave me a funny look when I told him I wanted him to make sure that, as the baby is crowning, he puts on “Who Let the Dogs Out.” If that’s not a power song, I don’t know what is. Woof woof.

ha! Miss Ella was born to No Doubt’s Return of Saturn or Rock Steady. I can’t remember. All I do recall is hearing Gwen’s voice. Both those CDs were in the CD player at any given time during labor. Rock on and rock that baby out!
Can’t wait to know the rest of the playlist!
