Contractions????

So yesterday I went to the Hospital to have another Non-Stress Test (NST) done, and ended up finding out that i was having contractions 13 minutes apart. To be honest I had a rush of excitement and fear pulsing through me. I know it was too soon to actually start having either one of those feeling plus I just got into my 33rd week.... and i need to cross my fingers and hope i make it to at least 36 weeks or farther....
I'm very tired of being prego.
My legs feel tension and slight pain when i get up at first, shooting through my knees to my ankles from all this weight that i'm toting along everyday. Its really a twisted feeling, part of me....the mother in me i would say...wants the babies to stay put for as long as possible so they can be well cooked... but then the selfish part of me is dying of feeling heavy and hot and ugh all the time so of course i'm wishing to pop here and there. Lets put it this way I'm in a constant battle with myself.
So having those contraction yesterday was an extreme mind blower lol
I ended up leaving the hospital and having to count them for roughly 3 hours!!! They stayed strong at 13 minutes apart for a good chunk of the time and then it dropped to 10 minutes apart then 9 but went right back to 13 minutes... so of course no need to go back to the hospital. So no Twins yet :( :) <<<( my twisted feelings) (Contraction Calculator)

Today I feel like my...*woo hoo* (that's the word I'm gunna use so just get use to it..okay?!)... anyways my *woo hoo feels like its going to hit the ground! I wouldn't call it extreme pain, but its painful. I'm wondering if maybe the big day is getting closer, but to be honest i've searched a ton of websites and can't really find an exact answer...ALL UP IN THE AIR MOJO! uuuuugggggghhhhhhh!!!! I know I'm not the only first time mother out there who doesn't like the unknowing.... A couple websites that i did find useful however is one at parent.com its a quiz that you can take when you feel that your getting closer to the big day... >>> Quiz: Am I About to Go into Labor? One thing i will mention is that there is a question that ask about your cervix, is it thinned, dilated or no change... if your doctor hasn't recently checked you and your not sure then you can do what i did and just say not changed, i can guarantee that this effects the quiz since its an important question but unless you've been checked how can u really know?????
Another website in regards to checking for early signs of labor or if your just looking for some info would be at FamilyResource.com Early Signs of Labor... this was one of the few that i found actually mentions the pressure you may or may not feel on your pelvic floor. There was only one other place that made a mention of that pressure and that was my birthing class and my doctor ask at each appointment....go figure.
Most recent picture I took. @32 weeks and 3 days... tired and feeling chubba wubba = P (twins are getting closer)
There's one thing that I am hoping for and that's the burst of energy I've heard so much, I've been in so much tired and restless pain that I would love for a moment where i feel just great and was able to move around peacefully.
Hopefully I can keep this blog going for a lil bit longer before the boys get here!!
