I feel like I've come out of a war and won.

Today -- without even having to go to court!! -- I walked away from visiting my son with a letter signed by both my ex and her mother agreeing that starting after Luken's first birthday, I can take him overnight every other weekend.

The first weekend he's going to be here will be June 25-26.

So I've got a little over a month to get a crib set up for him and baby-proof the house (he's a quick little bugger now. And when he can walk more than 5 feet without falling, I'm doomed ).

Yay!

Why does he fall after 5 feet ? My experience is: when they can walk, they CAN walk. (Just kidding. )

Congratulations on the agreement ! Sounds great.

Well LD, you've done it! You've proven your capable to mom and grandma. Now you can enjoy the fruits of your labors. Weekends with your son!

Congratulations and well done!

lol. well, he's walking a bit, and he's a terror with his walker but on his own he's still a little shaky. he's getting there though.

That's great news!! I'm really happy things worked out for the best.

Thanks

Oddly enough, I just realized I'm not nearly as surprised and shocked that I get to take him for weekends as I am that he's going to be a year old! It doesn't seem nearly that long ago that he was born. Where did the time go!

This is really nice to hear.

Remember that when your weekends start, 'mom' will probally be a bit tense/stressed.
It is a very hard thing to hand over complete care of the baby. As well as the simple absence of the child in the house. The silence is awful.

I just wanted to give you a heads up on that, just incase you think she is weirding out .
Haha
Enjoy your weekends!

Oh Harmony you just don't have enough kids to truly appreciate the quiet. LOL

LD, congrats on your victory. You have won a battle!!! Sounds like you were very smart too by getting the paper signed by her and her Mom. Awesome job!!!

Now take the time and enjoy that boy!! I know you will.

I have to admit, getting everything signed and in writing is something I picked up from you guys here. So, thanks for the advice all the time.

Congrats!!!!!
