Pre-halloween

I know when Damon's Dungeon Demon puts his decorations up on our street, then I am allowed to set up my decorations - which consists of 6 things!  This guy really puts my house to shame - it's pretty cool the detail that he puts into his decorations every holiday!  He has multiple spook houses throughout his yard.
 We took a little field-trip to Simmons farm.  Out in the east it's kind of the thing to do in the fall.  They usually have these giant farms that grow a huge variety of produce.  They have a farmers market that is amazing and has activities for families.  If you go in the fall you can pick out your pumpking and do some corn maze, hay rides, petting zoo, etc.  Dev loves this specific farm cause they have a free spiket of apple cider and man does he get his fill!
 We decided this goat was in time-out.

I walked up on Dev explaining the name and function of all the tractors in the corn box to Brynlee.  Farmers at a farm ..... !
 The fall weather is one of my favorite times!  It is so gorgeous here.  We have been trying to get outside as much as we can.  We took a few bike rides that just about put me into labor.  I was being stupid but really you don't know if you have over-done it until about 5 hours after you get home.  Anyways I get an award for biking into downtown for a Pitt game 9 months pregnant.  It was so fun.  One of my favorite memories of Pittsburgh is the "Sweet Caroline" song at a sporting event.  Here is a little taste of it!  It is so cool!

Anyways we have gone on a ton of walks and rides, frisbee golf, parks, car rides and I just can't get enough of this weather.  I finished my freezer meals and deep cleaning.  I also got a new piano!  I had my old piano with coffee stains all over and about 10 notes that were constantly getting knocked out.  I bought a tuning tool and would tune it back in tune before lessons but that was all getting old.  So we are decluttering to sell our house in a few months and got rid of the old piano (which was free-only in Pittsburgh) and a china hutch, 2 desks and an old couch.  And moved in a beautiful new and nice piano.  Every key works and I'm in heaven!  It was still about 150$ which is so cheap for a Wulitzer.  Here is a 13,000 square foot house we found on a ride.  Notice the cars at the top left to really get the reality of the size of this house!  We couldn't get the 2 guest houses in the picture.

I get a new and unwelcomed side effect of the last bit of pregnancy everyday.  I'll spare you the details (I've finally learned to document it week by week in another post to compare) but this pregnancy is a little harder than Brynlee.  We still don't have a name.  I'm dialated to over a 2 and very effaced (didn't ask what that means).  I officially have 10 days left.  I have decided to get induced for this pregnancy.  I chose my doctor not based on his personality but because I know he is the very best in labor.  I had the most amazing experience with Brynlee and know that I have good genes and what to expect from my body during labor.  I feel comfortable being induced.  It's kind of hard to coordinate your mom coming out when the tickets are 400+ dollars.  But I am loving the predicatbility of it too.  I know when to shower, have the house clean and when to expect (emotionally) this cute little bundle to arrive.  I feel good about it and hopefully goes as well as the 6 other induced deliveries of all the dental wives that have delivered with this doctor!  I'm so ready and so excited.  It's such a busy week this week I think it's going to go by fast!  Grandpa Ray just facebooked me saying baby teddy might be number 200 great grandchild. That is crazy!

LOVE the timeout goat!! So funny! And of course Devin is teaching Brynlee all about tractors! Wish she could have come to Jason's tractor birthday party! She could have taught the boys a thing or two. :)
