90426 AS TAPE REOPENS, L IS LYING FLAT, Jeff AND Mellie ON HER, RIGHT Mellie FUSSING WITH MACHINES.

90436 J walks briefly to door, then over to L's left side.

CCCCCCUCCUCCCXDCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

90449 She is making clawing hand movements and audible breaths, and Jeff goes over and takes her arm. She grasps his.

90459 Jeff starts saying "Breathe, breathe, blow it out, c'mon keep breathing." 90515 Mellie looks at monitor, starts saying in soothing, sing-song tone "Going down now."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFE

90522 Jeff: "That one was almost as spikey as the ones you've been having before." L: "Well, it hurt." J: "Well it clearly didn't hurt as much as the other ones." L: "It hurt, though." 90528 Jeff releases her grip on him, then pats her hand. 90534 Jeff leans over and kisses her. 90537 L makes some comment to Jeff re his not having to go through labor and he says: "Oh, glad I don't! I'd be a mess!" 90540 They're talking about Arden and the kids.

90602 Jeff walks away from bed. PAGE 23

90604 Jeff says something, ostensibly about what the kids have done to Arden, that sounds like "bound and gagged and stuffed in the 'closet." 90607 Mellie still over at machine, and we hear baby's heart sounds briefly.

90609 Jeff walks back to bed. 90615 Baby's heart sounds stop. 90620 1 tell her she's doing terrific. She says she's not. I say "yes you are" and rub her leg. I tell her it's almost over, and she says she keeps thinking it's going to get worse.

90627 Jeff making phone call. 90630 Mellie asks if she feels it's getting worse. I continue rubbing and patting her leg. 90639 Jeff on phone, talking to Arden, saying "it's progressing quickly. I think we'll have it before midnight."

C 90647 L starts forcible exhales, holds up left hand to J, who continues to talk on phone, while he takes her hand (90656), and I take her right hand. - Jeff continues talking on phone to Arden.

90705 WEINSTEIN ENTERS and asks Mellie if it's working, and says something else (about 2 1/2 centimeters?). WHY DOES HE ASK Mellie IF IT'S WORKING?!

90715 W addresses L: "Think it's working?"

90717 W strokes her leg. L's answer is inaudible under Jeff's phone conversation.

CONTRACTION OVER?
