What will go on with my warrant?


Got a 2nd dui in ten yrs in Massachusetts and recieved 2 yrs probation and one yr suspended for my sentence.
I screwed up and caught a 3rd Dui in New Hampshire while on probation in massachusetts for the 2nd.
I admit i was wrong and turned myself in to Mass Probation and told them my story and what was going on in NH.They gave me a sentencing hearing to attend in march "09" in massachusetts for the PO violation.
Meantime i went to NH and pled guilty to my 3rd offense charge and was givin a 30 day sentence out of 6 months to be served.While doing this i missed my sentencing hearing in mass for the PO violation which they knew why i couldnt make it(because i was serving in NH at the time).
Upon completion of my NH sentence NH let me walk out the door bringing nothing up about massachusetts.Im thinking a warrant was never issued in mass for a failure to appear.
I know i have to deal with massachusetts now but i heard nothing of a warrant so far.
My question is: How long does it take for a violation of probation failure to appear warrant take to be issued? What type of warrant?
I know they are going to give me my yr suspended so if i hold off on turning myself in till the end of this summer can they give me anymore time on top of that yr since in mass there are no new charges just the PO violation which was on misdemeanor probation for oui?
I want to work and raise as much money as i can because i have a family and i want to prepare for my yr jail sentence (9 months with goodtime). Would help a great deal before turning myself in to serve my time. If a yr is all they can give to me do i just have to keep my nose clean till i turn myself in or will they come and search for me?

Any advice is very appreciated.
