My only real contribution to Carrie's labor and delivery were two modern-day versions of the mix tape—one for the 17 hours she needed something calm and soothing and another for the two and a half hours of pushing when she wanted to kick things up a notch.
Both went over so well that I thought I would share them with you in case you ever happen to find yourself trapped in a room with a woman writhing in pain.
First, the calm and soothing.
