Pregnant and family thinks I can't be alone!! Please read!?

I am currently 35 weeks pregnant. I have a 2 year old little girl. At 18 weeks I was put on bedrest for a short cervix. I was on bedrest and went into preterm labor at 29 weeks. (I delivered my 2 year old at 29 weeks.) They got the labor stopped and I spent a month in the hospital just to be safe and get farther along. Anyhow...I am no longer on bedrest and everything is going great. The doctor said I can resume my normal life as I can tolerate it. I have only been at my house about 2 weeks since January because we have been staying with my grandparents while my husband is working. Anyhow...now I just want to go home. I have a house that has basically been shut up for months and needs aired out and cleaned up for the baby. I want to set up the nursery and just get the house ready for the baby. I would not push myself to the point to where I would hurt me or the baby, but I just want to go home. My grandparents don't do anything or go anywhere, and I can't stand to just sit around while someone else takes care of my daughter. My grandma is kinda overbearing and always telling me what to do for my daughter and what my daughter needs, and I don't want to say anything to her, but I am still her mommy. I don't need someone to tell me to put her clothes on her or don't let her have a cookie blah blah blah. My dr says I am just like any other pregnant woman now at 35 weeks and if I did go into labor I live only 10 minutes from the hospital. And I keep thinking...there are women who are alone when they go into labor all the time and they make it just fine. How do I (or should I) convince my family that I can be alone at home and not hurt their feelings? I am very independent and went from a full time job and a 2 year old to ... nothing..sitting around all day while people tell me what to do...Please help?
