Goodnight Moon

For the past two weeks Bill and I have read ‘Goodnight Moon’ to the baby every night.  We heard that if you read the same book  repeatedly during the last trimester she will recognize it later and this will have a calming effect.  We chose ‘Goodnight Moon’ because it is a classic that we enjoy and is the right length.

We have also played classical music almost nightly since the start of the second trimester.  Most nights we listen to ‘Bach for the Brain’.  My favorite part of the each day is when Cannon in D comes on (the 11th song) because this is the song that played as I was walking down the aisle.  Lately we have been mixing it up and listening to other classical music.  While I could listen to the same music each night indefinitely, Bill prefers variety.  He doesn’t thrive on routine like I do.  🙂
