Some parts of country no matter what the wife does doctor etc she does all the work taking care of the baby. If Nick decides not to wake Adalind and he decides to care for his baby some nights that is not Adalind's fault.
Portland is a place where you regularly see fathers carrying babies in papoose harnesses and where the mens rest rooms are all fitted with fold-down changing tables (and that's places where there are still gender-specific rest rooms instead of the unisex lavatories that are in most new buildings).
As for Nick doing the waking and changing at night, he's got enhanced hearing and has probably been sleeping with one eye open ever since they moved into the fome. And if he wasn't before, he will be now.
