Time is Short

So on saturday I will be 36 weeks pregnant, which means that I will only have FOUR weeks left (unless Cam comes early). Can I say... nervous? And yes, I am having that realization (even though I already knew) of how Cam is going to come out and so not ready for it...But at the same time, I'm ready to be able to turn and move like I used to.
An update about the Corder family:
-Chad has started working again at Breckenridge and is just loving the snow. And he told his supervisors that he is on call with me and could leave suddenly :) He is getting excited to meet and know his little boy, which is just so cute! Other than that, he got a new calling in Church and is nervous/excited about it and I know he will be great in it!
-Diana: needless to say that I am just getting bigger and a little more uncomfortable, even though people don't think I am very big with how far along I am. Sleeping at night is getting interrupted due to just my mind waking up and not shutting off! I am still working on Cam's room: most things are put together and ready but still waiting for the dresser so I can put the drawers (sorry, not so good at spelling) away. Still packing the hospital bag for the three of us. and Yes I am having it ready just in case! who knows when or what will happen.
-Cam is realizing he doesn't have as much room, so he loves to push out with his backside and feet! I got another glimpse of him last week, he looks so cute! He is healthy as can be with a HUGE head! Needless to say, I was about 34 and 1/2 weeks, and his head is measuring at about 37-38 weeks. I looked over at my mother-inlaw (since Chad was working) and asked if Chad had a big head, her answer: Yes. Oh fun times for me! The new 4d ultrasound picture makes him look just like his daddy! And it also looks like he has a head of hair, which is what I dreamt about.
-Lago, Burton, and Terje are just loving life with their siblings and getting out to play. Needless to say that they love the laundry room since that is where the dog's food is kept. They are just great ferrets! Burton is losing more of her gray tail: it's going more white which is a little sad for us.
-Sam, Gladiator, and Jean are doing really well! I have the door shut for the spare room (now Cam's) which they didn't understand at first. But they are adjusting well and are only allowed in there if I am in there. Jean, my spooky cat, has been coming down stairs willing! I thought I was going to have to be cruel and shut him out of upstairs for a few times during the day. Nope, he is surprising me. So I am hoping that the cats will be alright when Cam comes home.
Side note: we took a tour last week of the hospital and birth center, and I have to say that it looks nice and I am excited (and scared). Also, the passat which is a standard will never again be driven and dropped off with the valet service. Needless to say that the clutch was hot and smelled for the whole ride home! but other than that, we like the hospital.
We are all doing really well and are just counting down the days for when our little Cam will arrive! I am hoping he will come when my mom is here but I just hope and pray all goes well whenever he does arrive :) Look for further postings... since I only seem to do this once a month.
Happy Thanksgiving!
