Pumpkin Seeds & Pumpkin Bellies.

I love all things Halloween with the exception of pumpkin flavored things, sorry I am not a basic white girl. My husband loves pumpkin seeds and I don't mind them since they aren't "pumpkin flavored" and they are wonderful for pregnant moms. Pumpkins seeds are packed with protein, zinc, potassium, magnesium, the list goes on!

Cooking pumpkins seeds might be the easiest thing you've ever done. So if you are a last minute pumpkin carver or you want to cook your seeds before you throw your whole pumpkins out at the end of fall just follow the easy recipe below.

How To Bake Pumpkin Seeds;
-Turn your oven to bake at 400F
-Rinse the seeds and remove all of the "pumpkin brains and guts"
-Pat the seeds dry with a paper towel or let them sit and air dry for few minutes
-Spread the seeds across a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt
-Place the sheet in the oven and wait 15 minutes, they should be crispy
-Don't burn your tongue after they have finished, let them cool for a minute!
-Enjoy or make designs in them like we did!!

I hope all you have an awesome Halloween tomorrow. Be safe and have fun!

We are also celebrating 23 Weeks with Baby! 

I'm Feeling 22.

Thanks Taylor Swift for a great song to jam to all week!

"I don't know about you

But I'm feeling 22

Everything will be alright

If you keep me next to you

You don't know about me

But I'll bet you want to

Everything will be alright

If we just keep dancing like we're

22!"

Happy 22 weeks of pregnancy! We are over halfway to meeting Baby and I could not be more excited!

Over the past 22 weeks I have watched my body do some amazing things, my stomach looks like I swallowed a seedless watermelon (some days I feel like that is what happened), my boobs are of a size that I did not think was attainable without cosmetic surgery, all I am ever hungry for is jalapenos or pancakes, and of course I am growing a freaking human! Yes, everyone knows a baby comes from being pregnant but there is no way to explain the feeling of "AHH" you receive when you look down at your huge belly and know a human is being made in there. A freakin' human, I can't even believe it sometimes.
