Braxton Hicks on a Friday night?

It's been awhile, but I think I had some contractions tonight. Made me a little nervous as they say I'm only 26 weeks. I've never been this nervous during a pregnancy. Not sure what has changed. Could it be losing a pregnancy that places doubt in your mind? Was it ignorance or just being naive to think it wouldn't happen before? The Lord only knows. I just have to keep praying and let him bring out his plan for us in this life.
Today was rather busy. I felt great for most of it,just a little worried at the end.
Four woke up crying early this morning. She had a temp from her shots. Her legs were sore. I gave her some meds and we tried to go back to sleep. After a questionable 30 minutes, I heard the boys and got up. They were so excited to see snow on the ground. They couldn't wait to get out and play.
Four woke up close to 8am and was still sore. I told her she didn't have to go to preschool, but she was determined. We got her out the door, but I still had my doubts. She complained and whined the entire drive. There was a car almost vertical in the ditch on our way. We took our time and arrived 15 minutes later than usual. She was fine and normal by the time I dropped her off. She gave me a kiss and was on her merry way. She had things to do, friends to see and something new at the exploratory table.
N and I had breakfast, found a few treasures and picked her up. Later that afternoon, I was able to go help at parent centers. We did a snowman activity that involved writing and chalk. It took an hour, I stood the entire hour. My hips were sore after and I seemed exhausted.
The evening was great, full of happy people. Best Friday night! They were to bed later than they should have been, but oh well. Could be worse. N has tomorrow off. Looking forward to spending the day having fun.

Totally get checked if you are worried at all, but I experienced braxton-hicks earlier and earlier and stronger and stronger in each pregnancy. Dr. V said it was normal and just your body growing stronger for the delivery. I asked him to remind my body that wasn't necessary since I don't handle that part. LOL. Will pray for you to have peace and to trust the Lord in this and all things!
