13 more sleeps

A few definitions I've been using on lucky 13 more sleeps day...

Differently
dif·fer·ent·ly
Pronunciation: \ˈdi-fərnt-lē, ˈdi-f(ə-)rənt-\
1 not the same as
Usage: I feel differently from how I felt yesterday. When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, "Self, things are not the same somehow." This baby is up to something. I suspect baby plans to escape from his or her little c-shaped place in the world are being hatched. In fact, for much of last night, it felt as if the little one were pounding tiny clenched fists against the walls of the womb over and over in a "Ummm guys, I'm in here. Lemme out. Yoo hoo? Can you hear me? I said I want to come out," kinda way. I definitely feel more pregnant than I've ever felt today. Or maybe I feel more deliverable than ever before. Definitely differently.

Delusion
de·lu·sion
Pronunciation: \di-ˈlü-zhən
1 a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary
Usage: While suffering from a delusion, or possibly a serious case of supreme pity, two people actually told me I look "tiny" for someone who is 38 weeks today. Let's be clear, people. There is nothing tiny about what I am right now. My ETA while rolling from one side to the other at night is roughly 1.5 minutes. And that 1.5 minute trip has a soundtrack of whining, groaning and mewling that most likely makes Jared want to puncture his own eardrums. In other nighttime news, I apparently have begun snoring my "tiny" self awake. I don't think "tiny" people snore themselves awake. I think we've all learned from Disney that this particular talent is reserved for super-sized, oafish individuals like the Giant of Jack & the Beanstalk fame.

Desire
de·sire
Pronunciation: \di-ˈzī(-ə)r
1 to long or hope for
Usage: I desire to hold this little one in my arms and introduce him or her to all of the lovely people who are dying to meet the tiny babe. I can't believe it is almost time!
