When you were still in my belly I would play music on my computer at work and have one ear bud in my ear and the other ear bud in my belly button. I wanted to share everything with you and that included my favorite music.
Now that you are out in the world, your Dad had mentioned several times while we were in the car and you were so calm that he thought you liked the movement of the car and the music we would play. The music on the radio was no longer muffled, but the funny thing is when Daddy drives he doesn't have the same music on that you heard in my belly. Daddy and I don't always have the same taste in music, but I tried to listen to a variety of things when I was pregnant so you could hear more than just Mom's pop music and her wild card Josh Groban classical music.
When I was pregnant, I would listen to Pirates of The Caribbean soundtrack because Daddy likes that movie a lot. In fact, if you were going to be a girl, we were going to name you Keira after the actress in Pirates of The Caribbean. If you have a sister by the time you read this, her name is probably Keira. Another soundtrack I would listen to was the Transformer's soundtrack. Daddy is a HUGE transformers geek and even has a tattoo of Optimus Prime on his calf. I think he got that right before we started dating, BUT it was before the movies even came out. So your Dad loved Transformers before they were "cool".
I was pregnant through the winter. So one of the songs I listened to a lot was "Bells of New York City" by Josh Groban. Whenever I listen to it. I remember you kicking in my stomach whenever I would drive home (sometimes in the rain) from work. When I was pregnant, and would sing in my car you were always very active.
I also listened to a lot of Ingrid Michaelson. For the most part, I listened to mellow music. I worked a lot, wasn't getting a lot of sleep and wanted to keep my blood pressure and everything as mellow and relaxed for you as possible.
And of course... the wild card songs.. From Pirates of The Carribean and Transformers
You probably think your Dad and I are nerds now.
Anyway, the whole point of this post is that even though I wouldn't consider us a music family, you do like it a lot. Your Daddy was listening to 80's music the other day and you went bonkers. So he ended up putting music up on YouTube on the TV so you could watch the videos and coo at all the colors. The other day on the way to the grocery store you got rather animated when Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody came on too.
