This morning at five thirty, I woke up having sharp pains deep in my abdomen. I tried to ignore them, and tried to go back to sleep. I eventually discovered that I couldn't. I got up and had a shower. Usually that wakes up the twins and they start moving around (they're most active in early morning and early evening). I got worried when the pains continued and I couldn't feel the twins moving and all. I called my half sister on her cell and she told me just to be calm and wait a few more minutes.
Five minutes later, I was truly panicking. I was sitting on the kitchen floor, and I felt like I was being punched in the stomach. I was so terrified, I started crying. Nobody else was home with me; my brother (my legal guardian) is in florida with his girlfriend, and my half-sister was at work.

Eventually, I called my half-sister again. I described what I was feeling in my stomach to her and she came home right away. She said it sounded like I was having contractions.
She took me to the hospital, and they checked me; they said it looked as though I was having false labor. When they checked the ultrasound though, I was told there was only one strong heartbeat!

I am praying that it was false and that both of my babies are healthy. Only time will tell.
