So we're on the semi-home stretch at 31 weeks out of 40 and half way through our birthing classes. The classes are a bit hippy-dippy but then again WE're the ones doing the natural child birth at home and it don't get more hippy then that...just sayin!!! This week our teacher lady was trying to distract us 'soon to be mamas' while we were suppose to be concentrating on our "non-focused awareness" pain coping method. I told you, very hippy! Anyways, she put on her ipod, slammed the door, asked us direct questions, all trying to distract us from practicing our "meditative state" we're somehow suppose to maintain through contractions. All I could do was try not to bang my head and rock out to The Heart sisters singing "Barracuda". Of course Bustin & I started giggling about the ultimate birth songs......which got me to thinkin. I highly doubt this currently very large & still somehow getting larger dino and her ADHD riddled self is going to be able to pull off some "zen meditation state" since she's never been able to quiet her mind for more then 26 seconds let alone while having some pain crazed labor contraction. Sooooo I think I'm going to take a slightly different approach.
Here's where each & every one of YOU come in.......
I need you to make us a "birthing CD". I figure I'm just going to concentrate on the songs and zone out to those instead of trying to ignore everything & one in the room. I think this is definitely more "me". Songs about strength & enduring. Songs that make you think of us. Songs you're listening to right now. Whale songs.....NO scratch that! The midwife & her assistant might be a bit "wowed" by the shear awesomeness o our friends musical genius but I'm willing to take that chance.
And the thought of each o you musically being in our birth room got me thinkin about how awesome it'd be if we could have each o you cosmically in our birth room as well. So I'm borrowing an idea that our Pixie used during her last birth. I'd also like you to send me a bead or charm to add to a necklace I'm making which I'll wear during the birth so I can pull "extra energy" from each of you when I'll need it the most. Sort of like wrapping myself in your love & pain free thoughts. How's THAT for hippy for ya!?!?!
If you need a song to help get ya started, this one got Bustin & I giggling the most....
