Song Suggestions?

May 25, 2010 11:21

My hospital bag is practically packed; I've just got a couple fairly nonessential elements to add. One of them is my iPod, which I plan to add after putting together a birthing playlist. I also have a couple gift cards with which I can buy MP3s ( Read more... )

pregnancy, baby prep, music

How about Baby by Amy Grant? And, when the little guy comes out "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon? If I think of any more...

I love "Beautiful Boy," and it just so happens I already have it, so that's perfect!

Having my baby -- I think it was Paul Anka?

That's a popular one! I'll have to check it out.

And do not forget the old standard: My Secret Love's not secret anymore!

GLEE!!! And they even have a version of Paul Anka's "You're Having My Baby!" ;)

Way ahead of you. I bought the first two (or was it three?) albums from iTunes for the first season and am going to be looking for the second season tunes now.

My iPod happy song is "Grove is in the Heart" by Dee Lite - there's also the quintessential iPod feel good song: "Jerk it Out" by the Ceasars.

Are you planning on going drug free or are you going to have an epidural? If the former, you may find music more distracting than anything else or that you simply don't hear it because you're focused elsewhere. Having said that, I was reading Tim Powers' "The Anubis Gates" in between contractions for no.3 so you just never know what you're going to want to do ( ... )

"I was reading Tim Powers' "The Anubis Gates" in between contractions"

One of may favorite books! You need to tell Tim Powers about that. I met Powers at Philcon 2008 and had him sign the ten books of his that I owned. Very gracious.

It's usually the one I recommend people start with when I'm introducing him to new readers. I don't know anyone who hasn't been blown away by it, even if it's not usually their genre.

Here's where I pimp the Tim Powers interview I did at the same event:
