Forgot to post this: in the latest “Love, Recorded” column, “The Numbers of Hummingbirds,” I wrote about the baby having a too-fast heart rate. Scary stuff for us.

Here’s an excerpt:

“The doctor said that the fast heart rate could be a sign of fetal distress. Or it could just be the baby moving. We could have caught the baby at an awkward time.

There is nothing to do but wait.”

In other news, I remixed a Robert Kloss story as a little Necessary Fiction Christmas present. Here.

And the kind Amber Sparks gave a nod to Our Island of Epidemics in her end-of-the-year wrap-up in Big Other. Yay!
