thurday. baby. induction. woah. woah. woah.

this is one of those posts you've all wrestled with -- there are things to say, but the proper way to formulate your thoughts is as elusive as all get out.

so, we'll stick to the cold, hard facts. maybe the feelings and surrounding details will miraculously form themselves eventually.

the news is this: grayson will be here in no more than two days.

either he will decide to be born today or tomorrow or he will come when we gently prod him to do so beginning thursday morning.

yes. i'm having an induction thursday. it's elective. i'll be 39 weeks.

i am not 100 percent settled with this decision, but i'm somewhere in the 90's. that combined with the fact that the extent of my readiness for this child to be outside my body and in my arms cannot begin to be conveyed, and we're going for it.

there ya go.

mark it on your calendar.

grayson reed will be available for autographs later this week.
