This is the phrase I have been telling myself all day today as I have been in a lot of pain. My body just isn't liking being pregnant with twins, and I have been having so much pelvic pain, back pain and leg pain that I can barely walk, and when I walk it's more of a waddle. And I'm only 21 1/2 weeks pregnant. If I'm having such a hard time now, I can't even imagine what's coming for the next 15 1/2 weeks or so!!
Another hard thing: I started having some contractions on Sunday, and I went in to my dr. yesterday to make sure things were OK. It wasn't labor, and there's not really anything to be worried about since I haven't dilated at all. The dr. just wants me to rest as much as I can and to take it easy. And I have to go back next Monday just to be sure things are still good. So I'm not officially on bed rest since it's not preterm labor, but I am supposed to be taking it "easy" while taking care of my 18 month old...ha ha! Easier said than done. It is hard for me to not pick her up when she just wants me to hold her, but picking her up hurts so badly. It's also very hard for me to just sit around, and not take care of things at home, since I am the one who is home all the time.
Despite all these hard things that I'm faced with right now, I know I can get through this one way or another. Hopefully I find some ways to relieve some of the pain so I can at least be somewhat productive around the house. As for now, I'm going to keep sitting and enjoying the silence around me as Ellie continues to sleep.

Hang in there, friend!
Any YW in your ward to come play with Ellie? It could be a service project for their Personal Progress ;o)
