That’s about it! I hope you find something you enjoy here. Thanks for visiting!

After Dub has gone downstairs and Clyde has taken care of his needs in the bathroom, Maia gets to spend a few minutes alone with her daughter. It’s time to nurse Tami, which is always a precious time for Maia because it allows her to bond with her daughter in a way that no one else can. There’s something special about knowing that her daughter is thriving from being nourished from Maia’s body. Mother and daughter stare up at one another with unbreakable eye contact until Tami becomes milk-drunk and lethargic, and her eyelids become so heavy that they eventually close. After Tami has eaten her fill, Maia places her on her shoulder and gently rubs her back until she burps.

Now that Tami has eaten, it’s time for Maia to get dressed and go downstairs so she can eat as well. Maia pulls out the baby carrier they received as a gift during the baby shower, places Tami in it, and heads downstairs.

After my shower, I do what I can to help by vacuuming the dust bunnies that are beginning to appear on the floor as Maia finishes cleaning Tami and changes her into clean clothes. Clyde walks in, looking a bit impatient. I guess he was up early because he needed to use the bathroom. But I’m sure even he understands that getting Tami cleaned up is the priority.

Part 1 will continue to post here on Tumblr tomorrow. Or you can read the rest on my website by clicking the link above.

Maybe there’s something to what Clyde was saying about waiting for Maia. I admire her as she expertly runs Tami’s bath water, checks the temperature with her elbow, and cleans her up. I wouldn’t have even known where to start. Maia squeezes the rubber ducky, and Tami smiles. Is there some motherly instinct that we fathers don’t have?

Maia: Hey there, my sweet little tadpole. Let’s get you all cleaned up!

I leave Maia to her task and step into the shower.

Tambara has on a fresh diaper, but she still smells terrible, and so do I. I pick her up.

Wade: Did I miss something?

Maia: You did a good job, but she needs a bath.

Maia takes another sniff in my direction.

Maia: And so do you.

Maia takes Tami from my arms.

Maia: I’ll take care of her so you can shower.

I glance longingly at our warm bed. I’d love to sleep for a few more hours, but that won’t happen now.

I open Tami’s pajamas and remove her diaper, trying desperately not to spread the mess more than it already is. Just as I’m starting to feel confident that I can do this, Tami pees on me. Pee shoots everywhere. I didn’t even know a baby girl could do that. Panicked, I step back.

Wade: *to Clyde* Help me! Can you grab her for me?

Clyde: I ain’t touching none of that!

I sigh and step back into the battle with the diaper. But there’s still poop everywhere, and there’s no way to clean it without getting some on my hands. I can feel my stomach churning, and I pray that I don’t vomit all over my baby. Maia finally steps out of the bathroom.

Maia: *sniffs* Is that Tami? Oh, my Watcher! Do you need help?

The question pisses me off a little because I needed help about 10 minutes ago before Tami peed all over my pajamas and before getting baby poo all over my hands. It’s too late now.

Wade: I think I finally got it.

I was wrong earlier when I compared this to cleaning the cow shed. This situation is ten times worse than that. At least there, I could use a shovel.

I carry Tami to the changing table and see Clyde standing near the bathroom door.

Clyde: What’s that smell?

Why is he up here? Did the terrible smell of Tami’s diaper wake him, too?

Wade: It’s Tami. She spoiled her diaper.

Clyde: Ugh. Where’s Maia?

Wade: I think she’s in the bathroom.

Clyde: You’re not gonna wait for her?

Wade: I can’t just leave Tami like this. I need to clean her up.

Clyde takes a few steps back.

Clyde: You’re a better man than me. Elise took care of all the diaper stuff.

I place Tami on the changing table.

Wade: Why? Because she was the woman? Times have changed. Men can change diapers, too.

Clyde: Well, good luck with that.

I immediately see why Clyde wished me luck. Tami’s mess is everywhere, including her legs and back.

Tumblr Queue Issues

Is the queue acting up for anybody else today? When I add a post to the queue, no date is attached. So I tried scheduling each post instead, but the posts go missing when scheduled to go up (I hope they don't show up later). For now, I moved all the posts to my draft folder, and I'll try to remember to post each manually, but it's definitely a pain because I post 5 a day. I hope this is a known issue that's in the process of being fixed. @staff

It’s 3 in the morning, and I wake up to a smell that sends me back to the cow shed that I used to shovel out as a teen on my parent’s farm. I get out of bed and look around to find the source.

Wade: *to himself* Oh, My Watcher! What is that?

 I search the floor for a pile of Hiro’s poop, but there isn’t any. I follow the putrid scent to Tami’s crib, which shocks me. How can a tiny baby smell so bad? I gather Tami into my arms, feeling the warm poop that has escaped from her diaper. Maia isn’t in bed. She’s either in the bathroom or downstairs, searching for an early morning snack. Either way, it’s up to me to change Tami.

I take the stairs two at a time to show Maia the place. Her eyes light up immediately.

Maia: Oh, my Watcher! I know that house. I used to pass it all the time on the way to the outside market. It’s gorgeous.

Wade: It’s not just one house. We can rent out the house that’s attached. I already contacted the listing agent and emailed an interior designer. If you want the place, we may be able to get it ready by Monday.

Maia: Monday? That’s so fast.

Wade: It is, but Tami needs a bedroom. She’ll be crawling and walking before we know it.

Maia: You’re right and we put this off long enough. *pauses to think* Let’s do it!

Wade: Yeah?

Maia: Yeah!

Clyde forwards Charlie’s text and pictures to me, and I go straight to my computer to begin my search. I’m able to locate the property and the listing agent immediately. Charlie did save me some time. I send the agent a detailed email and make an offer for the home. I then search for a designer to furnish the house and make it move-in ready. Of course, I’ll have to run it all by Maia before making any final decisions, but I at least want to get a head start on the process.

Clyde: Yes, Charlie’s been keeping an eye on it for a while. That’s what squatters do - they know every empty spot in the city. Now, you just have to contact a realtor. Charlie just saved you a lot of time and energy that you won’t have to use searching for a place.

Wade: I see what you mean. I’m sorry for doubting you and Ole Charlie.

Clyde: It’s all good. And if you don’t like that one, I’m sure there are others that he knows about.

Wade: No, I think this might be the one. Can you send it to me? If we can expedite the purchase, Maia and I could beat you back to San Sequoia.  

Clyde: I’d love that.

I never thought I’d hear those words coming from Clyde.

Clyde approaches me after Maia disappears with Tami upstairs. I brace myself for a new threat, but Clyde's expression is soft and, dare I say - amiable. He holds out his phone.

Clyde: I know you said you don't want nothing to do with my guy Charlie, but he sent me something that I think you should see.

The excitement on Clyde's face pulls me in, so I agree to take a look.

Wade: Yeah, okay. What's up?

Clyde shows me the phone with Charlie's message and a picture of a house attached.

Clyde: Take a look at this place. It's located in Anchorpoint Wharf and would be a great place to raise Tambara. It has three bedrooms, a sunroom, two bathrooms, and a nice-sized backyard.

I'm impressed with the picture.

Wade: That's a nice place.

Clyde: But that's not all.

Clyde scrolls to another picture.

Clyde: There's a second place attached that you can rent out.

That sounds even better. It can be a great way to generate more income.

Wade: And it's available?

Maia gets the 411 on how things are going between Mase and Zoe right before it’s time for him to leave. Clyde makes the mistake of turning on the TV a bit too loud, inadvertently waking Tami up again. Maia hurries over and picks her up. Tami will sleep much better upstairs in our room, so that’s where Maia takes her. This further highlights the need for Tami to have her own bedroom. We need to find a new home ASAP.

Part 2 will continue to post here on Tumblr tomorrow. Or you can read the rest on my website by clicking the link above.

Ma and Dad announce that they’d better start heading back to Henford. Mase stays about an hour longer, since he arrived late. Clyde strikes up a conversation with him, and just from the tone of his voice - I can tell he likes Mase a lot better than me. But that probably has something to do with the fact that I’m involved with his daughter. It’s his job as a father to be more wary of me. Right?

Anyway, I suddenly realize that I haven’t told my dude Luca about Tami being born. If it weren’t for Luca, I probably wouldn’t be in the positive headspace I’m in now as a new father. I pull out my phone and send him a message with Tambara’s baby announcement on Social Bunny. He responds quickly, and I reply, letting him know that we plan to join him on the West Coast very soon. I know he’ll be happy to hear that.
