ok, change that request to NOT so obvious, found a great generic list HERE

I agree with the Creed song.  Makes me cry.  And I love the Michael Buble "Haven't Met You Yet" song, too.

ETA: I thought about the Buble song again.. might just be meaningful for those of us IF girls.. not really a good preg song for the "civilians"!

Taylor Swift has a new song that says something about "don't grow up to quickly"... It may be very mainstream (since it is Taylor Swift)  but I liked it anyways.

I think I'm going to use "The one who knows" by dar williams - who sings that each nite to their girls here, Rita?  Anywho, add to the list if you want, it's something I keep for the future and share with others.

I'm a freaking SUCKER for "I Just Call You Mine" by Martina McBride.

Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All

Ordinary Miracle - sarah mclachlan (?)

 particularly these lines:

Its seems so exceptional 
Things just work out after all 
It's just another ordinary miracle today

 

I Knew I loved you before I met you - savage garden 

 A thousand angels dance around you 

I am complete now that I've found you 

I knew I loved you before I met you 
I think I dreamed you into life         (or worked my ass off and had to tell doctors how the hell to do their jobs in this case)
I knew I loved you before I met you 

I have been waiting all my life   (or damned near close in this case)

 

 

You are so beautiful - but no the Joe Cocker version - I prefer Ray Charles (less constipated sounding) 

 

Your everything I hoped for 
Your everything I need 
You are so beautiful to me 

Such joy and happiness you bring 

Such joy and happiness you bring 

 

A New Day - Celine Dion:

(yes... I'm sure you're rolling your eyes at Celine Dion but this song was WRITTEN about having a child after struggling with IF so it's always touched my heart.  I STILL can't hear it without crying) 

I was waiting for so long 
For a miracle to come 
Everyone told me to be strong 
Hold on and don't shed a tear 


Through the darkness and good times 
I knew I'd make it through 
And the world thought I had it all 
But I was waiting for you 

 

 works best if you have a boy because she mentions finding strength in the eyes of a boy.

Celine Dion - a new day has come(I just saw the howley put this one too) but seriously love it. She sounds amazing in this one. If I was creative enough for a slide show this would be my song!
