Left, A contraction comes on and Raina lifts her abdomen to 

aim her baby's head onto her cervix instead of against her back.

 When the contraction is done

Raina smiles in relief.
One more closer to her baby!

 Above: Raina's friend shows her the quiche made by the kitchen fairies who helped bake the quiche (far left). 

The water feels wonderful...

until another contraction comes.

The water makes the labor quite "do-able."

These pictures may very well be when the baby rotated from a posterior position to the anterior position.

What joy!

such a special moment in their lives.
