Soundtrack to your birth

While your mum was in labour, we had our classical music collection playing on our Macbook in the maternity ward. It's about six hours' worth, so we heard the whole thing twice over while we were there.

You were born to the dulcet strains of Puccini's Madama Butterfly - Act 2: Un Bel Di Vedremo, performed by Renata Scotto and the Rome Opera Theater Orchestra with John Barbirolli conducting.

But you'll never guess what was playing just before that, when your mum was bearing down and your head finally crowned. It added to the drama somewhat.
