Places to Eat in Austin, Texas โ†  It's All Good Bar-B-Q

So, now that I've shared our big news about baby on the way, I can also tell you another little secret. I've been eating meat again. Yep, after 5 years of being a pescatarian and not having a bite of meat other than fish, I'm a full-fledged carnivore again. I know, it's weird for me too. 

After trying for a long time to get pregnant, I saw a midwife to do some tests and talk about things I could try. One of the things she suggested was that I incorporate some meat back into my diet. I always knew once I was pregnant, if I craved meat I'd let myself have it, because I know your body knows what's best for baby...so it wasn't totally out of the question and I started to try it now and then.

Most meat just reminds me why I didn't miss it at all in my five years as a pescatarian (and honestly I haven't wanted it much at all since I've been pregnant), but I have to admit, there are some places that made me happy not to be skipping out anymore. It's All Good Bar-B-Q was one of them...

Dave drove us out here on his motorcycle (before I was pregnant) and we had some bacon wrapped jalapeรฑos (to die for), macaroni (lick-the-bowl good), and beans along with our meat. I got the turkey plate and Dave had tried mulitiple meats. I have to say the jalapeรฑos stole the show for me, along with the ice cold Corona (this was in the summer) after a long bike ride.

It's not much of a secret anymore, since I shared on facebook and instagram, but I wanted to share here and post the rest of the pictures.

Pregnancy Announcement | MALLORIE OWENS

Dave and I (and Atka and Liam) are SO excited to finally announce our next big adventure! Baby Owens will be arriving August 2016...the four of us can't wait! We have an appointment to (hopefully) find out the gender on Monday and I can't stand it I'm so excited! This baby has been long awaited for and we couldn't be more thankful for this little miracle.

Also, I can't believe we got one, let alone multiple, shots of both Atka and Liam looking straight at the camera and not looking psychotic (Liam tends to look scary in pictures and Atka can get a crazy face from time to time, see the photo of me kissing her cheek below...).

Thanks so much to Creatrix Photography for making my announcement vision come to life!
