Top 10 Ways To Tell You're A New Dad
1. Getting six hours of sleep is a privelege.
12:34
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I'll get it," said Lily, half asleep. She pulled the blanket off of herself and tried to make her way towards the door, but only got three steps before tripping over the dropped blanket.
"Here. I'll get it," James told her. "You have your Auror test tommorow, tonight I'll be you."
Trudging along down the hall, he sung Harry a quiet lullaby that put him to sleep rather quickly.
1:24
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
James opened his eyes slowly. This time, Lily had not even moved in the slightest, except to cover her ears with her pillow. He sighed, and once more made his way down the hall.
This time, Harry had dropped his pacifier. "Here you go," James tried to coo, but it came out groggily.
Almost immediatly, Harry was once again asleep.
2:06
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
This time, James didn't bother to open his eyes. Instead, he found the familiar route, except for a slight crash on the door frame.
Harry was lying contently in his crib, gurgling. "Yes?" Harry blinked, then smiled.
After James changed his diaper, he made his way back to bed.
3:01
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
James' arm reached out from beneath the covers and tried to shut off his alarm. After realising his alarm wasn't going off, he sullenly trudged back to baby Harry's room.
After doing what needed to be done, he tried to make it back to bed but instead collapsed against the wall and fell asleep right there.
4:22
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
James crawled slowly to Harry's room, then tried to pick himself up by holding onto the crib.
This time, he actually made it to his bedroom door before crashing.
5:49
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
James sludged his way down the hall, picked up Harry and began rocking him back and forth until Harry was content once more.
Then he fell asleep in the crib with him.
6:28
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
James tried, once again to reach for his alarm clock, but apparantly it wasn't there. He opened his sleepy eyes to dicover a disgruntled Harry being held too tight for his liking.
He loosened his grip, crawled back to his own bed and crashed seconds later.
7:29
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Harry set off at the same time Lily's alarm went. James made a move to get up, but Lily pushed him down and said, "I'll get Harry, I'm up now anyways. And thank you, so much James, for letting me sleep." She kissed him on the cheek.
"No problem, he barely cried." James told her. "And you know me, I don't tire easily." He grinned, then fell asleep once more.
