Looks like your baby is still enjoying life in the womb too much to come out! Although this is not uncommon, make sure you speak to your doctor regularly so that he can monitor your baby's health and development.
Babies tend not to get much bigger after 38 weeks. 

Continue exercising, sleeping, and drinking lots of water.
Read books, watch television, or do things to distract yourself.
Maintain communication with your doctor and take his advice as to how to proceed. You will probably be discussing with him/her as to whether or not to have an induction.
