would it be weird?

would it be weird if i carried clint's old boom box (you know, lloyd dobler style) into the labor and delivery room.

would it be weird if i set it up.  on the l shaped table.  wheeled the table over my bed, over my legs.

would it be weird if i cranked up mumford & sons on repeat, as loud as it would go.

i'm thinking it'd be like i made a mix tape for sweet baby max.

i think he'd like it.  coming into this world while winter winds is playing.

and davidnelson, if you're reading this...what's your opinion?  because you know about all things music/birth related....

and for those of you thinking i'm joking...i'm not.  i'm dead serious.

Do it. It won't be quite as amazing as if your OB were to sing "The Circle of Life" as Max is crowning, but it'll be close. Maybe that could at least be on the mix tape. I am all in favor of things like that to make your birth experience special for you. Plus, Mumford and Sons is a good choice. Just don't put a bunch of Enya on the mix tape.

Also, the old school boombox would be sweet. Way better than an Ipod w/external speakers.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
