the reason pregnant women are touching their stomachs all the time is that it turns out your baby moving inside you is the best feeling, and it helps you be more attuned to it.

I heard a commotion and found a huge great horned owl atop my chicken, Helena, motionless. owl flew off, and I was sure she was dead. my husband came out, and leaning over her, Helena popped up right as rain.
