The labor class people have suggested that we bring a boombox with some music to relax, distract, or otherwise assist the wife during the labor process. I've suggested some songs before, but here's my new Birthing Mega-Mix.
Driving to the Hospital: A Little Less Conversation - Elvis Presley (remixed)
Early Labor: I Get Knocked Down - Chumbawumba
Intense Labor: 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky (with real cannons)
Baby Presentation: We Are the Champions - Queen
I'm sure I'll need a couple more songs for the labor stages, but this is a good start, I think.
Also, more strange things to say to the doctor when the baby is handed to us (a continuation of this and this:
1. No thanks.
2. Delicious!
3. Woah, she knows kung-fu!
4. So thats what all the noise was about, huh?
