Take another gravity reading for the next couple days. If it stays the same, go ahead and bottle. If not, wait until it levels off.
 
How many time did you check the FG? I would check it 2 to 3 day in a row if the FG stays the same bottle. Better to be safe beer bombs not that much fun.
 
You cannot go too wrong(sanitation) with checking the specific gravity 2-3 days in a row as stated.
Myself, if the airlock is still bubbling ~ 10 seconds I would not even bother to check the SG. I usually leave my primary alone for about 3 weeks then check SG and if close to projected FG I will bottle it.
Patience is the hardest thing to learn in brewing but will provide the biggest rewards!
(in my humble opinion of course)
