No more Swimming?

Yesterday morning I went swimming as usual, then began to worry a little bit.
At my non-stress test, I asked one of the nurses her opinion about if I could still continue swimming? I remember Peggy from the Lamaze class telling us that she swam up to two days before delivering. But the nurse told me I'd probably better not swim anymore.

So now we are counting down, to a number, we are not sure exactly what, since Dr. Sylvestre definitely thinks that I will not make it till the 21st. This is agonizing..... It doesn't seem as I'm even having fake contractions and this process is not happening fast enough, and today's weather is just miserable... hot and very muggy and now that I'm not going swimming, totally unbearable. I was going to spend the weekend making peach pies, preserves and jam, but it is just too hot to do that.
