I can't lie. It's been tough. The house was very quiet that first day and my arms felt extremely empty. Every time I would walk by his room there was a natural tendency to peak in as I do when he's napping.
My 5 o'clock drive is now the highlight of my day as I know that within 10 minutes I'll get to see his perfectly round face. I race there, going over every speed limit; my stomach filled with butterflies in anticipation. Evenings have officially become the best part of my day.... by far.

Derek also sent me some flowers with this adorable little note on Monday morning. You can't resist smiling when reading those sweet words!
I know it will get easier each day and life will go on. That's the life of a mother, right? We face challenges head on, generally win, and move on!
What a sweet husband! Glad you made it through week one:0)
