Moving On... but Taking It All With Me

18 days and counting.

I thought I'd be so disciplined and write everything down. The moment I first felt her. The moment her daddy first felt her. And hopefully I will before I forget it all.

Tonight I am making playlists for my iPod - a great suggestion made by the doula that taught our birthing class. During active labor (pre-pushing) that the goal is to relax and endure the contractions while remaining upright and mobile - or calm me during transition labor and get me to focus. Or perhaps to keep me 'pumped up' while pushing. All kinds of music for many situations.

I'm going through my library and dropping songs in here and there. Going through some of the songs, I began wondering if I would want to hear songs that are attached to poignant memories. I hovered the mouse over a few, but in the end, those memories are from events that molded me. And perhaps some of those songs will eventually hold new memories.
