tired of contractions! :(

I'm very grumpy and tired of these dumb contractions. I started having them last night about 5pm.. every 15 minutes.. I called labor and delivery to see how long I could hold out before starting my pills, but they said I needed to start them right then! :( so they worked.. and the contractions stopped but during the night the meds wore off and they started up again. I didn't really count during the night b/c I was "trying" to sleep... let me emphasize TRYING! I was up every hour going potty. So in the morning I started timing them again and sure enough they were every 15 minutes. So I took another pill, this time it made me shaky! :( for 4 hours.... as soon as the pill started to wear off, the contractions came back. I tried to call the OBGYN to see how often they want me to take these pills but my dumb cell phone did not ring for whatever reason when he called, so I just received a message saying to take them as needed until 37 weeks. I am not thrilled about relying on these meds for the next 2 weeks. I just wish I could get them to stop some other way! :(

Aside from this I'm just frustrated w/ laying around and drinking water all the time. I have stuff I want to do. I don't slow down very well. It's hard to rely on others. Especially when I'm hungry!
