I've put together a "push mix" for my labor and delivery, which hopefully, will happen any time now given our August 24th due date. (Seriously, we are so ready.) This playlist contains some obvious standards, a few unconventional choices, a bit of a space theme, and a whole lotta stuff I just like regardless of whether or not it'll get me through labor.
