Weekend linkage

Me: Simon sent me some Youtube video, because apparently everyone has seen it but I haven't. Whatever.
Jared: What video would that be?
Me: I think it's called Gangnam Style.
Jared: Babe. Everyone has seen that.

Rachel: Man, I've had that dumb song stuck in my head all day!
Me: Which song?
Rachel: The One Direction song.
Me: Which One Direction song?
Rachel: Oh, their most famous.
Me: Err. 
Rachel: The Piano Guys covered it.
Me: I . . . don't know who the Piano Guys are . . .
Rachel: THE ONE YOU LINKED TO ON YOUR BLOG.
Me: Ohhhh.

Pregnancy happenings: She's a lively one, this tadpole of ours. But I love it. This week I had my hand on my stomach and, beyond a doubt, there was a wee foot pushing back at me. Sort of weird, you know? How she's large enough that it's individual feet I feel, not just general pressure?

BABY FEET AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Sorry. I am a little bit excited. Not so enjoyable, these days, are the frequent (as in every forty-five minutes) nighttime bathroom trips. asdfasdfapoijdasopfija

The midwife says she's in a great position, though currently facing front, and we want her the other way round. Thus I'm sitting on an exercise ball, squatting, and generally tilting forward in an effort to get her to rotate. Apparently the heaviest part of a baby (vertically speaking) is its back, and so the more time I spend leaning to the front, the more likely she is to swing around. Here's hoping.

Paper wins.

Twenty-five photographs that defy explanation.
