Pumpkin and some updates

I love all seasons for different reasons but fall I love for the colors (which sadly lack some in South Florida) and for the baking. I love PUMPKIN! A couple of years ago I stacked up on cans and cans of pumpkin in the hope that I would make pumpkin stuff year round. Of course that did not happen but my love is still there. I love pumpkin bread, cookies, cake, pie and i even found a recipe for dinner in a pumpkin that is both fun and delicious. I have been  looking forward to this season for a while now and now that it's here I can't make any of those things! So frustrating! As of Wednesday evening I am on full bed rest. I spent the night in the hospital on Tuesday with the doctors wondering what is going on with my body and why it is that it can't handle being pregnant. I guess it just doesn't like carrying 20+ lbs extra for a few months. So we were released to full bed rest at home. Thankfully my mom is coming on Monday to spend the next few months with us and help us while I get to chill on the couch trying not to go crazy cause there are so many things I want to do to prepare for this baby and so much baking I want to do for the season. Bed rest sounds great to some, I know, but I love to be active and do things so...I sure hope to still be sane at the end of this pregnancy. :-) 9 weeks to go! YAY!
