26 weeks + 1 day - Pneumonia

I've just gotten out of the hospital for pneumonia. I was there for four days and they let me go home when the infection levels went down enough for me to be taken care of at home. I'm still on antibiotics and am on bed rest for the week. There was a little scare while in the hospital. I started having contractions every 5 minutes and that isn't good. That was really scary. I was thinking that I'd have to go through labor with pneumonia and the baby would be so tiny. Luckily it was a false alarm. They told me that because my body was under attack and under stress contractions are normal but everything looked good and baby would stay where it was supposed to.

I'm on sick leave until the 28th of December. It's so hard to sit still when there's so much to do but in the interest of my own health I think I'll do what the doctor orders.
