No, no, no: The Forever Fiancee is not pregnant. Let’s just get that out of the way early. Sheesh, I already have two kids, and I swear I saw a third rifling through my wallet yesterday. I’m done procreating until I can find either the Fountain of Youth or a nanny who’ll work for free CDs.

Instead, this week’s playlist inspiration comes from loyal Pop Life reader Meaghan from St. Pete, who sent me an email:

Hi Sean: I am 37.5 weeks pregnant, and my husband has asked me to come up with an iPod playlist for my upcoming labor and delivery. Obviously you have no personal experience giving birth, but I bet you could come up with fun suggestions! Of course, Salt-N-Pepa’s Push It is a must.

Love it, Meaghan! By the way, although I have “no personal experience giving birth,” let it be known that I was extremely active in the delivery room for both Kid Lulu and Mai-Mai. I was cracking jokes, cutting cords, filming the docs as they basically played volleyball with the FF’s uterus. There was so much blood, Jason Voorhees would have grown light-headed. But did I get queasy? Heck, no! Granted, I didn’t eject a living, breathing carry-on bag through my vagina, but still, I was tough, yo.

Anyhoo, Meaghan: These songs are dedicated to you and your bouncy new bundle of joy. Let us know how the playlist goes. Good luck and God bless!
