All I remember is once I found out I was having a boy (after 3 failed IVF attempts), the song "Beautiful Boy" from John Lennon came on the radio. Even now (after 8 years) I still get a lump in my throat when I hear that song. Here are the lyrics.
Close your eyes, have no fear.
The monster's gone. He's on the run, and your daddy's here (I replaced daddy with mommy) .
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful boy.
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer.
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way, it's getting better.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful boy.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful boy.
Out on the ocean, sailing away.
I can hardly wait to see you come of age.
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient.
'Cause it's a long way to go, a hard row to hoe.
Yes, it's a long way to go, but in the meantime,
before you cross the street, take my hand.
Life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful beautiful boy.
Darling, darling, darling, darling..Justin...
The song that has stuck with me once I found out Dee (bmom) was having a girl was "Butterfly Kisses."
