For those of you that don't know, Tabitha has chosen to endure the pain of birthing our child, without the help of modern medicine. She is forgoing the spinal tap and instead replacing that pain with the empowering decison that she is in control of how this baby is born. At first even I was a bit skeptical. No drugs? No thanks.. But after learning about it, and also understanding why she wanted it this way, I 100% agree with her decision. Tabitha was a bad ass before, but this is certainly the ballsiest thing she has ever considered, and man am I proud to be a part of it.
Let's face it, as a man, what do I have to endure? Massaging her feet after a long day, piece of cake! Staying up with her when her back hurts so she can fall asleep, simple (sometimes). The point is that I haven't had to endure anything as intense or life changing as Tabitha has while harvesting ans soon birthing this child. All I can do is be there when I am needed, and even maybe when I am not. In my mission to do the best I can I have decided to work towards finishing the play list for the big day the baby decides to head out. Pun certainly intended.
But what do I choose? How long should it be? Obviously I have no idea, so I will continue to add and delete as I see fit, but so far here is what I have. A lot of this music is incredibly meaningful, but for the most part I want this experience to be as relaxed as possible given the natural pain that will be required.
Tabitha I hope you enjoy this on Sayer's birthday as much as we will
enjoy it until that day comes.
Sorry, I couldn't find any Pantera...
