Racing babies in the snow.....

Not LITERALLY people....come on now!
We've had four starts at Mountaineer so far and won two of them. Valid Dancer won his allowance race and A Good Day to Run won his claiming race. The other two than ran were 5th and 6th. One of them stumbled out of the gate and almost fell at the start. Tonight we have two running. Swiper the Fox is running in a claiming race and Computer Gate is running in a Starter Allowance. I miss going to the track at night. That's typically when trainers approach me with horses for sale. But this big ole belly needs to stay home for now.
Speaking of which...I went in for an exam last wednesday. Doc said everything looked normal and no progress was made. He actually called me cervix "stubborn." He's a charactor that guy! His name tag actually says, "Dr. Stork." So we go back for an ultrasound on the 30th. I'll be a day late if I make it to that day. He's considering inducing this week if all looks okay because this child is getting big very quickly.
I had a rough night on friday night and rough day yesterday. I thought for sure that saturday was going to be "the day" but it wasn't. More like a 24 hour bug that I caught. Got some restful sleep last night (aside from four bathroom breaks) so I'm feeling a bit better today.
Mom is coming tomorrow! I'm so relieved that that day is finally here. I know she's excited too. The weather has been poor so I worried about her traveling over the mountains of the PA turnlike. She's bringing Dad's truck and getting some sandbags loaded into it today. It's been snowing off and on for the last 3 days. I figured Hannah would make her appearance during the worst of it but she hasn't. See....she's already taking after me (she's smart!)!! lol!! It'a too frigid to make an entrance just yet!
