Can't wait to meet my girl!

I am officially 38 weeks pregnant. I went in for my weekly check-up today. The doctor did an exam and found that I am 50% effaced but not at all dialated :( I've been having tons of braxton hicks contractions this past week. The first time I got them they were really strong and scared me a bit. I thought I might have been beginning labor. They are also continuing to monitor my blood pressure. I am VERY ready to meet my little girl. I hope she doesn't make me wait too much longer.
