ultrasounds…
by josh ~ October 14th, 2008. Filed under: Uncategorized.i was with my wife this morning for her first ultrasound. i can’t think of anything to compare with seeing my child for the first time. according to the measurements- it could fit right into my palm with plenty of room to spare. being able to watch it move around and suck on its thumb, seeing its backbone and brain and belly… its tiny hands and feet… i am beside myself. i cant tell you how proud i am of my wife for taking on the journey of childbirth. our lives have changed forever! never before have i had as deep of a sense in God’s design and purpose as when i looked at the tiny human thriving inside my wife.
today has really cemeted the reality of my becoming a father into place. this is why i’m starting my audiopacifier project. i am among other things a musician and as i take being a father very seriously, i want to raise my children with an apprieciation for music. audipacifier is going to be the music my child listens to while he (or she!) sleeps and the soundtrack to the first year of his (or her) life. i mentioned previously that the tempo is centered around 75bpm. that is the average tempo of a 20-30 year old female. i am attempting to bridge the gap between daddy’s big world and baby’s womb world through the use of familiar tempos and regular instruments. my plan is to, by the end of next year, be able to release audiopacifier as an album anyone can buy.
i currently have 2 basic songs down and am working on more. i hope to have this project completed by april, when the baby is due…
more to follow!
