We worked really hard on Saturday getting ready for baby. At my appointment this week (I'm 34 weeks along) everything checked out great. This little girl continues to have a strong heartbeat and is a mover and a shaker - my belly is constantly contorting into weird shapes. Since Saturday was a work day (cleaning, rearranging furniture, laundry, installing a permanent baby gate) we spent Sunday as a fun, family-of-three day. After a relaxing morning we explored Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America. We arrived before it opened so that Miles could run around without the crowds. He loved looking at all of the moving parts and bright colors. I diligently researched ahead of time what rides Miles could both go on and enjoy and chose 3. So, we were first in line for the little train ride. As soon as we sat down Miles started to cry and wanted nothing to do with the train. They stopped the ride early for us so we could get off. After one more attempt at riding in a little semi truck with Mike, this time Miles started crying before the truck even began to move, we spent the rest of the morning people and ride watching - which was much more suited to Miles' speed. Here's Miles being traumatized on his first amusement park ride.
He had a much better time just watching all of the action.
After naps and lunch we went to the park. Who needs an expensive amusement park when you have a lovely toddler playground practically in your backyard? We almost had the place to ourselves and we all had a great time.
Is this the two-man luge or just Mike and Miles having way too much fun on the twisting slide?
As the time for baby #2's arrival gets closer Mike and I have been reflecting on what a great family we have and our sweet boy, Miles. We've come so far with Miles that starting over with a newborn sometimes feels overwhelming but if we love Miles this much we're hoping our joy will be multiplied with this new little one.
