It's time.
It's time for Blake to come.
He's all cooked good.
I'm talking about Blake William McLeod :: my wife is due to be induced into labor Monday morning starting at 7 am. We're scheduled to spend Sunday night at the hospital - Northside in Atlanta.

[PHOTO CAPTION: Picture of Blake's brother Jackson and sister Savannah when they were little. How are they going to react to Blake? We'll see]
I'm so excited. I find little ways to bring it into conversations. I wonder how the other kids are going to react. I find myself renewed in many ways by it.
I mean, it's not like I ever took my three wonderful children and wife for granted. I make a point to be thankful and look at them (and other things) with new and enthusiasm every day.
But now that I'm off work and we have a date for Blake - there's a sharper focus on my family and a sense of renewal for me. I find myself thinking of how the siblings will turn out - how they'll get along when they are older. I think about Parker's love of playing football and how it compares to the love I had for it growing up. And I think about how these guys grew up in suburban Atlanta - compared with how I grew up - in smaller Georgia towns :: and then overseas in Turkey for three years in middle school. I wonder how it'll all turn out. Things are changing.
