36 week checkup

So I had a doctor's appointment today. I am 36 weeks and dilated 2 cm. Last week when she checked me, I was barely a 1 so she said I am making good progress. When we said we'll see you in a week, she half joked and said if not sooner. I was like yikes! I told her to not joke about it because I would like to have this baby in October if possible and she said, "Alison, October is a ways away..." So now my husband is freaking out and worrying and here I am...chill for once!
