You are going to be okay.  I know it is going to be really hard because I had to do it for a few weeks.  I went into labor with the twins at 25 weeks.  I was so scared.  I think I complained too much.  I would love love love to be put on bed rest now!  Try and enjoy it as much as possible.  I wrote a journal to the babies everyday.  It was really fun to watch every movie that I had ever wanted to watch.  I ate alot of takout (that was pretty great).  I know that missing your shower is really sad but you have to protect that little baby.  My babies were born at 35 weeks.  They were each 5 pounds and very healthy.  Thank God.  Every day that little baby stays in there the better.  Eat Eat Eat and Enjoy.  Keep us posted and we will reach out to you as much as you can possibly stand it!!!!!!!!
