28 Week Bumpdate!

12 weeks or less left! Ahhhhh, time really does start to fly!It seemed to drag up until 20 weeks, but now I cannot believe in 3 months or less I will get to meet my little girl.
Even though my pictures don't always look like the biggest "bump", I definitely feel like I am growing every week. The belly is taking a different "shape" if that makes sense. It's poking out more toward the bottom and where my belly button is, making me look more "pregnant" and less "thick" lol.

The difference between 18 weeks and 28.
This past week was a lot of fun. Ryan finally came home and it was so nice to get to spend time together!

We went to a BBQ for the 4th of July and I made patriotic Snickerdoodle Cookies. They are seriously one of my favorites EVER.
Ryan took a "patriotic bump picture" (his words not mine). He really wanted to capture the flag and Pike's Peak in the picture as well...

The next day we went camping with some friends. I told Ryan it was more like "glamping" because we were taking 1,000 pillows and an air mattress...this part was true, however when we got to the campground there was only a hole in the ground to pee in and no running water, so it was a lot more "hardcore" then I had expected.

It started pouring and continued to rain on and off all night. I took this picture in the pitch black right before our tent started leaking water all over us...oh well...it was quite the experience...
This week all my books started to arrive from the blogger book exchange!

You send one book out and you receive 36 back! It has been so neat to receive these books from other bloggers and to hear why they were so meaningful to them as a child. I know that Rilynn will love each and every one of them. (If you want to participate, email me because I think a few slots opened!).
Lastly, I installed a countdown app on my phone so I could keep track of how far away the due date is:

Seeing that number is so exciting but also kind of crazy! I know it will be even more overwhelming when that number is below 50...Ryan and I are so happy and can't wait to meet our little girl (:
