"I was too emotional [when I was pregnant]. I cried at the drop of a hat. It’s Hallmark commercials, it’s anything you could possibly imagine. Not even Hallmark. It’s a coffee commercial, and they pick up [the cup of coffee] and I’d go [crying] ‘Ooooh, it’s coffee!’"

Jo Dee Messina: Son Will be Confused by Musical Selections!

There is no doubt that the little boy country singer Jo Dee Messina is expecting will “be exposed to all kinds of music” growing up, but the 38-year-old has yet to officially introduce her son to it. “No, I haven’t started walking around with headphones on my stomach yet,” jokes Jo Dee, adding that her husband Chris Deffenbaugh is “a big jazz guy, so at some point I’m sure the baby will be totally confused by the musical selections being toted around the house!”

While he may be confused about music, it appears as if he will have two new buddies to keep him company when he arrives this winter — in the form of his mom’s dogs Bella and Russell. Since her pregnancy, the dogs “don’t leave me,” the singer explains. “They’ve been really under my feet the last couple of months. And they’ll fight over who’s sitting closest to me.” However, Jo Dee isn’t too worried about how the dogs will react once her little boy arrives because her dogs are generally good with children.

“I know they’re very good with my nephew … They’re very good with him, and my assistant has a little baby. And they’re very gentle with the baby.”

Did you introduce your baby to music while they were still in the womb? If so, what did you play?

    Oh this brings back memories from when I was pregnant with my baby boy!
    I used to have a lot of French classical music playing in the apartment and he would kick so hard inside me every time when this song played: Les Peines et les Plaisirs de l’Amour( The pains and the pleasures of love) which I thought was fitting at the time because I was going through a bad time in my relationship with his father and also because I was falling deeply in love with my baby each day he grew inside me- and giving birth to him was just phemonenal- not only was it painful but it was beautiful and just healed me in the sense I was content with myself.
    To this day, if I put that song on, Pierre my son will do this very funny crazy dance and sing at the top of his voice, ” MON AMOUR MAMAN!”
    It’s very sweet!

    Normally, in the apartment, I have some type of music playing so, in a way, both of my boys were introduced to music before they were born.

    When I was pregnant with my eldest, I was going through a classic rock phase so lots of Zeppelin, Hendrix, Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc. He’s an extremely mellow kid so I can see how that worked out for him.

    My youngest, due, in part, to his father’s love of punk rock, was played the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Stooges, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Bad Religion, etc. To this day, he goes crazy when one of their songs comes on. My ex just bought him a little drum set for Christmas so he’s been playing that non stop. His hair and head bopping while playing have earned him the name Animal, after the Muppets character.

  3. Nik Says:

    A friend, upon learning I was pregnant, had one request. Don’t play the Dead Kennedys while pregnant. That was it. So, no Dead Kennedys, but a bit of everything else around, except perhaps gospel, and traditional classical.

  4. Dana Says:

    My husband and I have an eclectic taste in music and nothing is off limits. When I was pregnant with my oldest, every time we would put on Pink Floyd, she would rock out. My second daughter loved Johnny Cash the most. He is still her favorite to this day! Now that we are expecting our third, I have mainly been listening to Christmas Carols. That will definitely be changing soon, though!

  5. MZ Says:

    My husband and I listen to a little of everything; I’m a country fan in particular. Baby has shown a preference for Daddy singing The Monkees and for Carrie Underwood in general.

    I also understand about the dogs. My cat has definitely been acting differently since I’ve gotten pregnant. He’s become so jealous that we actually had to put him on some low level medication!
