Fried Pickles Don’t Induce Labor
Many would consider us a little crazy – but one day before Heather’s due date, we went to the STATE FAIR! It was an exercise in determining what, if any, foods at the fair may induce labor. Of course, I just had to try some of everything as well..

Here are a list of foods that we determined to NOT induce labor:
- French Fries
- Lemonade
- Shrimp Cocktail
- Fried Pepperoncinis
- Fried Pickles
- Seafood Pita Wrap
- Chicken Artichoke Wrap
- Curlycue Potato Fries
- Root Beer Float
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Ugh – yeah, we did eat all that in retrospect. That was for lunch and dinner, though.

Probably one of the high points of the trip was seeing the new “Miracle of Birth” center – there is nothing cuter than a fresh litter of piglets squirming around.
Except, of course, for little Baby Teskey.. due to arrive ANY DAY NOW…
EDIT: I guess they do – but it takes 24 hours. Now – which one caused it? Or.. was it a combination? Hmm….
