Lol! :D No, I'm not quite that advanced...
I was wondering about the baby's name, whether anyone would notice or whether, as this is fanfic, anyone reading it would automatically supply 'Harry'. It was quite difficult not using a name without it seeming too contrived!
Thank you very much for reading and commenting! :)

Not to bring this comment too much to my own personal life but I have two kids. When I had my first one we had everything for her, her bedroom and everything was ready by time I was six months pregnant. Then with the second it was much more relaxed and her room wasn't even painted till she was two months old. So the whole time I was reading I kept thinking That's weird I would have figured Lily and James for the over excited get the room ready sort and Who doesn't have nappies and all that other baby crap? also By seven moths you should know not to wear new clothes around a baby. All the clues are there and I just kept ignoring them *face palm*. I even got to the point where I was pissed off at James for wanting quiet. Absolutely brilliant job! Very well written! I can't really even think of a compliment beyond that because I am still so blown away at the way you spun the tail and it totally fooled me.
Also poor sad!littlebitcrazyLily

I thought the bit about the nursery would totally give it away, but of course it depends what people are expecting. Because even if you're relaxed, you get that sort of nesting instinct, don't you? When I had my daughter, we were in a rented flat that the landlord was trying to sell, with nowhere else to go, but even so she had her cot and pushchair and her millions of clothes and bottles and so on... Which weren't much fun to move when we did. It makes me feel tired just to remember it actually. :/
