Getting Closer...

We are headed into the home stretch to bring Matthew home. We hope to receive our travel dates in the next weeks. We have a slight chance to travel in the end of January and a better chance later in February after Chinese New Year.

We have Matthew's room ready, but we are pretty sure he will end up sleeping in our room. We have been told to expect he might even still take a bottle. It is more the norm there, regardless it will give us a better chance to hold and bond with him. We still haven't received an update since his last measurements in the spring. I at least have a little bit of clothing covering the entire 18 months to 3t range. I have told Shelby to expect to go shopping while we are over in Ch!na as we figure out more of Matthew's needs.

Some other families that have recently travelled to pick up their children suggested we bring him his own bag to hold some of his own things. So we did pick up a tiny Thomas backpack to take with us and Jeff requested that our littlest future Asian Zip's fan have his own Zippy, too.

So excited to be bringing him home soon. Just want to hold my boy...
