Sounds like it. Take care of all of those things that need to be wrapped up before you go. Activity will speed things up, but don't overdo. You are going to be a very busy lady pretty soon, and will need your energy. Walking will move things along, as well.
Make sure your bag is where you can grab it if you have to leave on the fly.
If you have any concerns or other questions, contact your OB, who will let you know at what point you should head for the hospital.
Congrats!
God bless you.

Sorry, I missed your additonal comments--
Your baby moving is a good thing. You want him or her to wriggle about. Those contractions may not be fun for you, but the little darling is being squeezed: his or her tight quarters keep shrinking periodically.
The baby ususally gets fairly active following a contraction.
Get ready to time your contractions, too. Your doctor and hospital staff are going to want to know how frequently the contractions occur, and how long they last.
Get a notepad or a sheet of paper and take notes...after the contraction ends.
If your water breaks, you should get the heck out. The hospital can contact your doctor.
Above all, stay calm...you are going to need a clear head to get yourself through the day, and to the hospital. you will also need to make sense when and if you speak to your doctor.
Congrats, again!

don't ya wish we had some sort of crystal ball to tell us when the baby is coming - I'm anxious for mine too! I'm 38 weeks as well and lost most of my plug last week and then more last night. Has your Dr. checked to see if your dilating or effaced yet? I've been at a 1cm for nearly 2 weeks and 40% effaced. At this point I've been told we are very close, so make sure you've got everything in order!

I think within the next day or so you should be holing your baby in your arms,(how exciting is that??)
Try and get a early night so you will have loads of energy when labour starts,
Good luck and Congratulations xxxx
