kenny,
try to keep the pumpkins dry with tarps. dig channels in the soil around your pumpkins for drainage if needed to keep the pumpkin from sitting in ponding water. then either go get a case of beer or go to the bar and try to forget about it.

that is the best advice i can give you from experience. i have been there myself brother. worrying is ok as long as it leads to productive protective measures and then what ever it is, it is.
