38 week appointment

I'm now dilated to a 3 and 50% effaced. Last week I was a tight 2 and my cervix was not thinning at all. So, I'm progressing! The doctor told me that I might not make it to the 28th, since I'm already making progress without her stimulating me. Honestly, I think it would be great if I could just have this baby this weekend...except that my mother in-law will be out of town this weekend. :( So I sit here in discomfort and wait...
