My mom came to visit us for the week to be here when I delivered my baby...but no such luck. This kid doesn't want to come out. So we enjoyed playing with mom while she was here. We went to Seattle and decided to ride the Duck -which is a land and water tour on an old WWII military assault vehicle.
Our driver/tour guide was pretty animated and tried to make our tour fun and exciting. Tripp enjoyed yelling and clapping along with the driver. We saw some pretty neat sites like Gasworks Park (below) which is featured in the movie "10 Things I Hate About You." We also saw the floating house from "Sleepless in Seattle" and learned it was for sale, for 2.3 million dollars.
One of mom's friends told her about the gum wall by Pike Place Market, so we had to go contribute to it.
Tripp spit his gum into my hand along with a big pool of saliva. You can tell by the looks on our faces we both thought it was nasty!
Randy and his deposit
I love watching them make cheese! We even tried some fresh cheese curds that were delicious.
Tripp and I on the dock in front of the city
Tripp loved chasing these pigeons with this cute curly-haired girl
Tripp cried when my mom left today and has been asking for her as well. He enjoyed his roommate. While mom was here, I tried every inducing labor technique we could find. Nothing works. I tried castor oil -which is completely nasty and made me vomit, raspberry leaf tea, oregano and basil, accupressure points, long walks and lots of stairs, I even tried using my breast pump, we also tried what got him in there in the first place. Tripp was two weeks early, so I'm not used to being prego this long -my due date is wednesday. I'm not sure what else to try. And yeah, I know I'm HUGE so keep your fat comments to yourself.

Tripp got to enjoy some activities as well, like having a basketball painted on his hand, and riding the ponies while Daddy got all muddy sloshing with the ponies.
This is my calling. It's my favorite so far. I get to make cookies for the Relief Society ladies for their birthdays. These are fun to make, but starting to be exhausting -especially when my big belly gets in the way. See the ones without names, those are my back ups cuz I have a tendency to snap their heads off when I package them. but I'm happy to say that I didn't decapitate any ladies this time. The only downside to this calling is that I can't eat sugar cookies anymore. I've made so many this year that they aren't even appealing to me. I have 3 ladies leftover, any takers?
What a stud!
