So... two months later

Well, the last two months have been quite a journey so I apologize for not keeping up with recipes and the on-goings of the Goode-Wick fam! :)  We found out several weeks ago that we are expecting our first baby in December and are beyond excited.  Now, with that being said, I am not eating Paleo at this time.  The last thing I have wanted to see/cook/smell/eat is meat.  So, needless to say, not meat and continuing to eat Paleo do not really go together.  :)

I have been working on getting outside every single day and doing some sort of exercise.  I also sit on a pilate ball at work which I have been doing for a couple of years now.  So far I am still healthy and the baby is growing just fine. 

This is me towards the end of May (please ignore the sexy sweat stains)... I'm 17 weeks now so my pooch currently looks more like a gut then a baby belly.  :) 
I really have nothing to complain about though. 
I've also had some wonderful people give/send me baby things (which I always appreciate).  Its been sweet but sort of crazy starting to see baby things around our house. 
Our first onesie from Lyndsey Goode of NYC:

My co-worker Roxanne was being extra generous and gave me a Coach diaper bag that her sister bought her when she had her son.  Since he was a little older when she received it it really didn't get much use.  I was absolutely willing to take it off her hands. 

We find out in about two weeks what the gender of our little blueberry is and are eagerly awaiting that day! 

So for now, you are not going to be seeing a lot of recipes on this site until my taste buds come back to me.  :)

Vitamix Lime Sherbert

My family loves the great State Fair of TX. We have no shame in this fact. I have flown back to TX just to be able to attend the fair with the fam.  Growing up in the FB all the kids got off from school for Fair Day.  We took full advantage of this day every year.  My parents would go to the ticket line and stock up on tickets for our family of 6 so we could enjoy all of the joys of the different foods that are offered.  We went to the fair this last year right after church on Sunday so I was hungry.  We went straight to the Fletchers Corny Dog line.   
B is slowly loving to appreciate the fair.  He may not love it, but he can appreciate it.  The last time I came to town I left B in Tucson so I could enjoy the fair on my own.  My mom wanted to make sure B had a trinket so she bought him the world-famous Big Tex bobble head.  B has his sitting proudly on his work desk! 
My dad knows how to navigate the fair and get to the key places we want to go.  We always spend a bulk of our day hanging out with our Vita-Mix friends.
