does this sound normal?

So for the past few weeks i've had cramping & my belly would get tight.

Today I noticed that it wasn't really doing either & i was worried. but like 2-3 hours ago I started cramping. I noticed that my belly isn't getting hard though. [only sometimes. but not really. its more just cramps]

Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

Sounds like Braxton Hicks to me. As long as baby is still moving 6 times in 2 hours you should be fine, but you could always call your health care provider and ask.

Yep, sounds like Braxton Hicks!  Not to worry unless they get much more intense.
