I've had these songs on my blog for a couple of weeks now. I was meaning to tell you a little about the songs, but forgot. I'm telling you now. These songs are ones for my kids. When I was pregnant with each child I chose a song that made me think of them. I'd sing this song to the belly and think about the little soul I'd be bringing into the world. Each of their song has special meaning to me. I've added more to the repwitour (that is so totally misspelled - so what?!) as the years have passed. My new favorite for how I've been feeling about these kiddos is "You're Gonna Miss This."
Elizabeth's song is - "Close To You" because she really is like an angel plopped down from Heaven for us!
Elijah's is - "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" because I honestly feel that he and Elizabeth were meant to be twins, but God must have spent a little more time on him. (And because He knows I would have gone crazy!)
Jake's is - "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" because I had some amazing experiences with my pregnancy with him. I knew that he was meant to be with our "Little" family and that he was being protected even before I knew I was pregnant.
And Livvy's took a little longer to find. But her's is - "I Hope You Dance" because she is my little dancer! She dances and prances everywhere she goes. I hope she always dances (if sometimes it's only in her heart).
So now you know! The songs for my Babies!
Goodnight Everyone - Sleep Tight. :)

What a neat idea! I think it's so neat that you have a song for each child.. their song will mean a lot to them forever :)
I had an uncle that gave the "I hope you dance" CD to my cousin and told her he hoped she would always dance and then explained what it meant... not too long after that he died of cancer and she told that story at his funeral and played that song.. it's a neat one!
I used to sing "I knew I loved you before I met you" to Sean too!
