Not a happy girl!

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my weekly doctors visit. All in all, I left not so happy!
My last weeks visit was fine, I had gained the appropriate amount of weight and I was dilated about a fingertip. This weeks, I gained 10 pounds! Where? I imagine it's all water. You see I've been swelling more and more lately, and now it's become a permanent fixture. Joy! So on with the visit, the nurse checked my blood pressure, it was fine, baby's heartbeat 146 - great! I asked the nurse if the doctor was going to check me today and she said that she typically does that again at 39 weeks, but she said the doctor could if I wanted her to. So I explained that Jeremy was going out of town this weekend and I wanted peace of mind that I wasn't progressing too much and I might make it through the weekend without going into labor. So, the doctor checked me and I'm 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced - I'm making progress! So, onto the swelling issue - the doctor asked how much I was working, I told her 40 hours, she then proceeded to tell me that when I am home, I am to be on bed rest and DO NOTHING! WHAT? Yes - no more "6 hour trips to target" (LOL) and no more cleaning, cooking, decorating the nursery or doing anything that requires me to be on my feet. She then tells me that when I come in for my visit next Monday, if my BP is high, the nurses will, per her instructions I will be taken out of work. My doctor will be out of town next week. So, with that being said, I have decided to take a few half days throughout the week to help with relaxation and the swelling, because the last thing I want is to jeopardize my health or Logan's health in any way.
I left the appointment bummed, it's really hard to be told to go home and do nothing, especially when you know you have tons of stuff to do and get done.
Jeremy picked up the crib furniture last night, he will be assembling it tonight. He leaves Friday morning to go on a motorcycle trip with his friends and won't be back until Sunday. My mom comes into town tomorrow night and goes back home on Monday morning. I'm excited she will be here, there is so much stuff I was wanting to get done with her here - like finishing the nursery, buying some additional things we will need to cloth diaper, wash Logan's clothes, etc. But, it looks like some some that will have to be done by me supervising. So not happy, but I will make it work.
On a happier note - my due date is 17 days away!! I really can't believe it's almost here!!! Jeremy and I are getting really excited to meet miss Logan!
