Relax!!

I don't wanna brag, but- okay, yes I do- my husband is the best. He's the best husband is already the best father. We've been trying to establish certain routines before our baby is born- things like praying over him, reading, and singing to him. A number of studies have been done that prove if you read/sing to your baby the same piece repetitively during the last few months of pregnancy, the child will recognize it after he/she is born. So several times a week, Taylor has been reading "Goodnight Moon" to our baby. I read him "The Runaway Bunny." I've been asking Taylor to select one song to play over and over. My hope is that if the baby is fussy, Taylor can always play that song and it will soothe him because it's something he recognizes from before he was even born.

Yesterday he came up with a playlist. He said he's gonna play 3 songs. If the first song doesn't settle the baby, for sure by the time we get to the 3rd one he'll be quieted down. That's the daddy logic behind all this. The playlist?
1. There is None Like You- Shane and Shane
2. Your Grace is Sufficient- Shane and Shane
3.I'm A Lover of Your Presence- Bryan and Katie Torwalt

He went through the lineup last night and by the end of it, I was sleeping! Check out this video to see an example of the music relaxing baby effect:
