Getting Zaine's bedroom ready has been a fun project that at least let me feel like I was working towards bringing him home. It's finished and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. We went with the Superhero theme so it would last him a while! Mimi and Pop Pop were very generous and bought his bunk beds and some bedding. They did this for each of our kids when they were born so they continued with Zaine. Here is a little glimpse...

| Love the way the buildings turned out - the super fun part is that the yellow lights glow-in-the-dark. |

Even though he's not home yet, we still spend a lot of time in his bedroom.
I'll randomly find Addison laying on his bunk bed... she tells me she's just hanging out and thinking about Zaine and wishing he were home (no, I definitely never cry when she tells me that). Most nights I wonder in there on my way to bed and thank God for Zaine and for holding him for me while I can't. I didn't realize this had become a habit as I checked on Addison and Xavier, pulled their covers up, gave sweet sleeping cheeks last kisses and thanked God for my blessings. I have three little blessings in my life - I get to tuck two in each night and dream of the day when I get to make a third stop to pull up another set of covers.
