Lay your hands on me

7:30 pm. Thursday night. Malaysian time.

I was lying on my back in bed watching "Friends" re-run on tv with my husband.

My right hand was laid on top of my bulging stomach.

Suddenly, a strong wave-like motion from inside my womb 'touched' my hand.

I screamed! My husband sprang out of bed in the process.

That was surreal!

I had innumerable episodes of kicking but that one hits the spot, so to speak.

I know it was probably her rolling inside her cavity, but it felt limb-like to me.

I was overjoyed with her making contact with me.

It is undoubtedly an experience I will treasure for the rest of my lives.
