"To Whom It May Concern" (i.e. Benjamin)

I came across a gorgeous song a few months ago that was such an accurate representation of how I was feeling (and still am)... granted, it's almost undoubtedly intended as a love song for the person one hopes to find someday, but the words can almost perfectly be used about the little boy we're so anxious to meet.  As I've mentioned (probably too many times), this pregnancy has been a difficult one both mentally and physically, so to finally see his face and feel his kisses will be the greatest thing - I think - ever

If you know/like the Civil Wars, you may already be familiar with this song, but here it is if you aren't.  Benjamin, this is my song for you as we wait, wait, wait...

Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
Ooo the way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh
The way your kisses taste
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do, How I do
I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh I missed you
I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently. 

And speaking of music, I, the planner of all planners, have yet to actually get my infamous "birth mix" put together.  Add that to the other things I thought I'd have done about a month ago I suppose... but it's really hard to put together a list of music for such an important day!!  I'll take any suggestions if you have favorites or songs you think I might enjoy.  I've got a few keys ones definitely lined up (of course), but the list needs some beefing up!


Benjamin, we can't wait!  We'd welcome your arrival any day now! And yes, we hope you love the same music we do (well, you don't have to love all of dad's music choices... but I hope you do mine!) :-)
