Transition Labor - The Home Stretch!

I thought Isa was going to be born that morning- maybe 9 or 10am. Not so. The epidural slowed down the dilating and contractions considerably and prolonged the whole process even more. By this time Dr. Dukes let El know she had dilated 8cm and was waiting for Isa to drop more. This was the home stretch and El was stoked. So was I.
