Music Matters

Music means so much to me. So I made a "Welcome Wilhelmina" playlist for the delivery room. While I remember some songs popping up here and there, some of it was a total blur. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that my iPod was left so that I could see exactly what songs played on shuffle during the time it was on in the hospital (thanks scotty!).  Here's a list of all the songs that played.  May be irrelevant to you, but it makes me ridiculously happy.  And as far as I can tell the baby was delivered somewhere between The Grateful Dead's "Uncle John's Band" and MuteMath's "Control.  Scott really likes The Dead and I love MuteMath, particularly this song.  And the refrain that repeats in this song is so perfect... "Such a Beautiful Surrender"  Seems totally fitting for the surreal experience of bringing a beautiful new baby girl into the world.  We couldn't be happier. :)
