I think if your T recognizes this is something you need at the moment, then you shouldn't feel bad. I'm sure that T would tell you if it got to be too much.
I have seen my T for 2 years. I have always emailed (starting at 6 months in...) and it used to be that he answered nearly every one. Gradually I have required fewer responses from him, and don't react at all if I get no responses during any given week though I tend to still email daily. I miss responses from him but I'm sure if I got to a point where I needed them again, he would reply. Your T seems appropriately in tune to your needs, which is a good thing when you are building a trust relationship.
