The Playlist: Songs To Give Birth By

So this is a weird one, but there’s a bit of a back-story here, wait for it... A lovely gal I work with – we’ll call her Shelly Vixen (that’s not her name, but I think I’m going to call her that, because it makes me laugh) – is pregnant. She’s not just a little pregnant, but really pregnant – a beautiful, glowing mom-to-be, but I think she’s been pregnant for like a year and a half.

Anyway, she comes in to my office the other day and says, “Hey, you like music…” (silence… blank stare), “um, can you make me a CD of songs to play while I’m having my baby?” I had no idea how to respond to that request so I said, “Sure, yeah I can do that.” (Silence… blank stare).

I didn’t – but in her honour, I dedicate this playlist to her. Shelly, if you read this, I hope you have your baby soon – you look uncomfortable (seriously, she told me she sleeps only three hours a night, because she has to get up and pee every 20 minutes – that’s messed up!)
