Okay lovelies,
I promised you a week full of goodies, and I haven't forgotten!
I can't say enough about this dress from Indigo & Sage; it's the perfect combination of modest and breathable material. It's silky smooth and doesn't ever wrinkle! It's formal enough to wear to church or even a wedding event, yet casual enough that I can throw it on pretty much any day when I'm not sure what to wear. It's so stretchy that it falls perfectly over my 20 week baby bump, but it's still form fitting.
I love this dress so much that I partnered with Indigo & Sage and we're offering a giveaway over on my Instagram @brittanyannedanger. Check it out! I'd love to give you a chance to win $50 to their site! They have everything from cute, comfy dresses to trendy tees and incoming fall outfits.

Almost 20 weeks and baby has officially begun moving!!
And it's the coolest experience I've ever had! On Wednesday, I was laying on my back working on the computer after I'd had breakfast, and I started to feel something. Something BIG. Baby totally skipped the flutter-movement stage and went straight to kicks! I mean, relative to how they're going to feel in the weeks to come, I know they're "small". But it's such a crazy feeling to have a little body inside of me, flipping & kicking around! :)
Scott and I were resting last night before bedtime, just talking about life, and Baby started going crazy ninja again. I told him that they were probably still too small for him to feel, but I asked him to rest his hand on my tummy while we talked--just in case. He made a joke (calling the baby by name) and said, "You're going to be a kickboxer, aren't you?"
WHOOSH. Baby gave the BIGGEST kick yet! Right on the spot where his hand rested! Scott's eyes got really wide and he said, "I definitely felt that!" We laughed so hard. Babe made another couple kicks before settling down for the night.
I'm so excited for this adventure of motherhood. Yesterday for the first time in this pregnancy, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace wash over me that everything is going to be fine. I haven't been extremely stressed all the time, but since this baby was totally unplanned for, we have been trying to do all that we can to set ourselves up for the future. Life is expensive and it can be really hard at times. But I felt a calmness, as if Heavenly Father was telling me, "You're going to be fine. People have babies in much more difficult situations. Your baby is going to be just fine."
I'm so grateful for this gospel & the knowledge that families can be forever. Also for the knowledge that we are meant to form families and my body was perfectly built for this. <3

I know we've left you all hanging on the gender. We were supposed to go in for our final gender ultrasound the week before the 8th but it got pushed. I promise I'll have it all put together and announced by next week! :) Hang in there!
I'm so grateful to all of you who support my blogging. Good luck & enjoy!
