Well I stuck to my guns and she agreed that the best thing was what we had agreed to originally. I told her we could revisit it in January unless something came up that was a cause for concern. I didn't want to be changing things up too much on him for the first few months unnecessarily. She was fine with that, and I think we're both on the same page as far as he is concerned.

She is getting a taste for just what this means to her though as a mother who won't be seeing her son every day. It's tearing her up inside.
