Martinsville Weekend

On October 19 I headed out for my favorite weekend of the year...the Martinsville late model race aka the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300. I was rooming with my good friend Anita and spending almost 24 hours a day with my dad and Stephanie so I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. I would have told them before going to the race but I knew we would end up telling all of the officials and our friends at Martinsville and I didn't want to tell everyone before we told the rest of our family. Luckily, I didn't have any morning sickness so it wasn't hard to hide it.

We worked hard all weekend (dad and I were up until 2 a.m. doing paperwork one night and had to get up a couple of hours later). I didn't slow down just because I was preggo, I stayed just as busy as I always am at Martinsville, making numerous laps around the infield, running papers down from the scoring tower to the infield, etc. I think I was living on adrenalin but it all hit me on Monday when I went back to work. I slept in my care at lunch for 2 days in a row! After that I realized that pregnancy made me very tired (at least during my first trimester).
