Post a CommentYay! I'm delivering in March and I think I'll "steal" some of these songs from you. One question, Do you listen on your ipod with headphones or does your hospital have a hook up? I just can't imagine wearing headphones while in labor!!
LaDolceVita,
That's a great question and you've inspired me to share my hospital packing list. I took an ipod dock and plugged it into the outlet by the delivery bed. It was by my head so I didn't have to blare it across the room. It was very calming for me to have in the room.
And, "steal" away!

Yay for packing lists!! Thanks!! I've started mine but nothing is better then comparing it to someone else's. Thanks!!
If you are to listen to "Open Arms" at least please get the original version by Journey. Not that Mariah's version is bad, but Journey's is so much better!
Another good one is "You'll be Blessed" by Elton John and, this is not a "baby" song, but "Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch is a great calming song.
I can't wait to start compiling the playlist!
