Fall Festival
It finally stopped raining long enough for us to get outside and enjoy some Fall fun. The Fall Festival at Cox Farms is one of the best in the area, and is mostly about the slides.
Ian loved climbing through the hay tunnels, but he wasn't quite brave enough to go in by himself. Joe was a good sport.
Riding the twisty slide through the barn past all the animals.
Playing on the train (and just for fun, here is a photo of Ian on this same train at last year's festival).
Then Ian got brave and went down the slides by himself for a while.
In this first video (excuse the poor quality, I took it from my phone), you can hear him say "I made it!" when he gets to the bottom:
And in this second video, he shouts "again!" as soon as he's up and off the slide:
Getting ready for the very bumpy hayride (I really should have sat that part out).
Feeding the goats.

Mia's Room
Nursery re-decorations are coming together nicely in preparation for Mia's arrival. The wall color stayed the same with a few new accessories to change the look from a boy room to a girl room.
New wall decals above the crib and new bedding: (Joe put the dust ruffle on - it could use some work)
Close-up of the bedding:
New curtains and some decorative accents:
New lamp shade, changing pad cover, and wall art. We still need something for over the dresser. I was hoping for name letters again, but the ones I like are backordered (only the 'I' of course) so I'm still working out Plan B.
I also have some small flower decals left, so I might use them to dress up the corners near the bookcases, but haven't decided yet.
There's not much we need in the way of baby gear, but we do have a few things that need to be replaced. Thanks to hand-me-downs and great back-to-school sales, Ms. Mia has lots of long-sleeved clothes in sizes 0-3m and 3m to get her through until Spring. We did create a baby registry on Amazon (link to the left) in case anyone is curious.
Assuming my blood pressure stays in check (so far so good), then it looks like my c-section will be scheduled for either November 1st or 2nd. I'll get the specifics at my next appointment on Sept. 9th.

Sneak Peek
Yesterday we got a special sneak preview of little miss Mia during our sonogram appointment. She was in just the right position to get a 4D image (3D + motion) of her face. She looks like me, don't you think?
I am just entering my third trimester, and except for my slightly climbing blood pressure, everything is looking really good. I will be monitored more closely from now on just to make sure my BP is under control and, if it's not, that it's not a sign of a more serious issue. The good news is that all of my labs have come back looking excellent so far, and I passed my 1-hour glucose test with flying colors, so things are already trending better than in my first pregnancy.

Cooking Lesson
Ian got a learning tower from his Grandma and Grandpa Ferner for his birthday, so today we gave him his first cooking lesson and made some puppy chow.
Measuring out the cereal.
Sneaking a snack.
I think licking the spoon was his favorite part.
Shake shake shake!
