faves o' the moment

sorry for the relative radio silence ’round these parts of late.

bebe royal, while growing like a weed, has also decided to sit in my belly the wrong way around (aka, breech). fun times. so lately, i’ve been running around town, trying everything, hoping i can figure out how to convince her to do the right thing between now and b-day (which is approximately 6 weeks away atm, give or take a couple weeks of course).

wish us all luck…hopefully she’ll eventually cooperate! as one might expect, this recent turn of events (pun sort of intended) has been dominating my thoughts lately. if you’ve got any tricks or advice on flipping babies or personal stories that might give me and the hubs hope for her doing a somersault into the head-down position randomly, please pipe up! :P good vibes/prayers/virtual demands that encourage baby flipping are always welcome as well.

other things i have been liking and thinking about (when not thinking about the baby, ha!):

-on the fashion tip, i have been kind of/really obsessed with ankle-strap sandals/flats, like these, these and these. and i’m still coveting these.

-i love my husband’s tumblr blog. he always posts cool little links to this or that. he’s a software developer/architect…so some of what he links to has to do with that, but mostly it’s just random stuff and i think it gives the world a sense of his (slightly warped but awesome) sense of humor and brilliant mind. a lot of the stuff there is the links we send back and forth to one another during the day: funny, interesting, weird and serious links and whatevers. (we’re total info junkies/huge nerds.)

-i am busy with some freelance work at the moment, and i don’t have a lot of time before the bebe arrives, but i totally wish i had time to make a log cabin knitted blanket for her. who knows, maybe i’ll find the time. or maybe i’ll get around to it someday? or never? either way i think it’s cute as heck. ha.

-one of my secret cravings during this pregnancy has been carrot cake. MMM. this carrot cake recipe is for me, drool-inducing.
