We received a free mobile with something else, and since it doesn't match our planned decor, we decided to give it away. Kristin snapped a couple of pictures to send to one of her coworkers who is also expecting and then said "I know, let's see if it works. You lie down, and I'll hold it over you." I don't really understand why one of us had to be lying down with the thing flying over in order to test its working ability, but it seemed like an appropriate request at the time. I was in the middle of something and didn't want to go lie in bed, so instead I just sort of sat on the floor and looked up.
Sitting there, I realized that mobiles are made all wrong. They are really made for adults looking straight at them vs. a baby lying underneath. I mean, who wants to stare at feet and butts all night?
Anyway, at some point I thought "we have gone crazy"...and I wondered if "normal" parents-to-be spend their evenings looking at mobiles from a baby's perspective. I'm guessing probably not.
PS - The mobile worked just fine.

Hmm, this is a good point. I wonder if all mobiles are the same?
I've been paying closer attention to them, and while the majority are this way I have come across some that face down or are repositionable.
