I have obtained the following in a lab:
Ba(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) -- BaCO3(s) + H2O(l)

First thing is this reaction correct?
Second is their a net ionic equation since the product side has no soluble solutions?

That's the net ionic and it's balanced.

Ba(OH)2 is only slightly soluble, so you write the two together.
