FFN Tests--negative definitely doesn't mean you have 2 weeks

We had an FFN test on April 11th. It was negative. I had my babies on Tuesday April 22nd. Nothing went the way I had it planned, but it all worked out in the end. I went for a NST Tuesday morning at 9:00. Everything was perfect. Great heartbeats, no contractions. I left my OB's office at 11:00. I hadn't had breakfast yet, so I was starving. Headed to McDonald's for a Big Mac & Fries. I had lunch with my Mom & headed home about noon. My back was hurting pretty bad on the way home, but I just figured I had sat funny while I was eating lunch. Picked Tristan up at the babysitter's. Went home & went to the bathroom. My water broke while I was on the toilet. I said "oh s**t". I called DH & told him. He said "whatever". Then I had to explain to him that I was still sitting on the toilet waiting for the water to stop coming out. He, of course, rushed home. Called the OB & he said come to my office ASAP. Called the babysitter. She came to get Tristan; knowing I still had to pack a bag. Got most everything for the bag out by the time DH came home. Left home by 1:30. Drove 80 to 90 MPH all the way there because I was complaining about contractions. Got to the OB by 2:00. They took out my pessary & I was dilated to 8. Sent me directly to the hospital. Was dilated to 9. Had to get a spinal--very hard to arch your back when you have contractions every 2.5 minutes. Both s were breech. Kamryn Lyn was 4 lb 3 oz at 2:30. Katelyn Ann was 4 lb 6 oz at 2:31. Kamryn has short brown hair. Katelyn has long black hair. They were flown to NICU about 3 hours from home that evening. I was released from the hospital yesterday & will be with them until they come home. Both are breathing regular room air. Kamryn forgets to breathe sometimes when she's sleeping, but apparently that's common. She was put on caffeine to help with that yesterday. Both are drinking breast milk through a feeding tube most of the time. They've offered a couple bottles, but they don't really know how to drink yet. I just can't believe that they're perfect little babies even thought they're so small. Sounds like we'll be here for at least 3 weeks. I don't think I forgot anything important, but feel free to ask. I was somewhere between 32 & 33 weeks when they were born. I really thought I was going to make it to 35 weeks, but they had other plans!!
