Welcome Baby Playlist

I've been working on my music for the big day. I'm using soft music with water noises, like you would hear at a spa, for the laboring process to help with relaxation. For the intense pushing time period I just want quiet focus, no music to distract me. Where I am getting a little stuck is my Welcome Baby Playlist. I want the first song our baby ever hears to be the Hawaiian version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World, it just seems like the happiest most peaceful song ever to me. Then I've got a few other songs of varying types like Lullabye by Billie Joel, Sweet Child of Mine by GnR, I'll Stand by You by Carrie Underwood, Halo by Beyonce, I hope You Dance by Leann Womak, as well as a couple of songs special for DH and I, Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys and I Do (Cherish You) by Mark Wills. What kind of happy, upbeat, peaceful or sweet music that you would like to play for your new baby bonding time?

Not necessarially at the exact moment she is born, just somewhere after when things settle a little and there is a nice quiet moment for us. Hadn't really thought about the logistics of it that much. Though I am in agreement with you ladies about wanting her more to hear DH and I's voices. So even if it doesnt happen for a little while or that night or next day, I think that I will just play that one special song for her at some point. I like the idea of having that song to sing for her/with her as she grows and being able to tell her that was the first song she ever heard. It just makes my heart smile to think about that.
ETA: I love the sassy wisdom that June 2014 brings to the table! Love you ladies!

At some point I plan on humming/singing Celine Dion's version of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Simply because I think the song sums up how I'm going to feel the first time I actually see his precious body in my arms. I considered doing this as well, but then I was like the PP said - who is going to turn the music on? Am I REALLY going to give a crap when I'm awestruck by the emotions/feelings/everything of seeing our child for the first time?? Probably not...
That being said, I hope it works out how you envision it and creates a beautiful memory for you all.

I loved having quiet bonding time with just DD, DH and I when she was born. Even if I had wanted music I guarantee I would have forgotten all about it in the moment. Nothing wrong with it if that's what you want though.
Now having some nice music to play once I moved from the L&D room to the hospital room where we stayed for a couple nights would be a nice option. Not something I'll probably take the time to do (I'm lazy) but if someone did it for me I'm sure I'd like it, lol.
