Being a stay-at-home dad was the most exhausting thing Justin had ever done. It was worse than every all-nighter in college combined.
Ellie cried frequently and wouldn't calm down unless she was being held. That made it almost impossible to get any work done at all, which brought him pretty close to his breaking point. If he didn't code something soon he was going to lose his mind.
It wasn't like he was about to do it was Emily was home and could watch the baby either. That was the only time he got to spend with his wife and he was not about to miss out on it for anything.
Gone were the days when he could simply stay up later than Emily while coding and join her for bed when he was done. Because Ellie was constantly interrupting their sleep his night owl tendencies had been thrown off. Now he slept whenever he got the chance to.
