"You really hate cake this much, Noel?" I make a fake pout as I take my cake and a sand-covered baby inside the house.
The cake smashing was really smashing... he actually killed the cake. We didn't even have to encourage him to smash the cake, Nathan placed the cake in front of him and then boom... Noel's fists were crushing the cake.
It was an amusing yet slightly painful sight for me... as the cake lover in me was shedding small tears every time Noel pulverize the cake between his hands.
However, when the cake looked nothing like before, sand grabbed Noel's attention and he crawled like a rocket towards the sand. Even before we can catch him he was playing with sand.
Now along with cake, he is even covered in sand from head to buttcrack.
"Bathtime." Placing him on the bathroom counter, I start to wipe his body with tissues first before I give him a bath.
After giving him a bath, which took longer than I would have thought, I am feeling tired. After every two-three hours, I need to lie down for a while because I feel drained, something which I haven't experienced when I was having Noel.
Rocking Noel in my arms, I try to put him to sleep as he is getting cranky because even he is feeling tired. However, suddenly I experience a sharp pain in my abdomen making my grip on Noel a little tighter.
It slowly fades away after a moment, when I don't feel any discomfort or pain again I get relaxed because in my previous pregnancy too I have suffered from these cramps.
There is a soft knock on the door, and then a moment later door opens and Georgia peeks her head inside.
"Do you need anything?" She asks as she walks inside the room, "Mr. Knight asked me to check on you and to ask if you need anything as it has been a while since you came inside."
"Thank you, Georgia." I smile at her as my heart warms with Nathan's concern, "I am fine, but can you please bring Noel bottle? He is sleepy and hungry."
"Sure, I will bring his bottle right away." She smiles, "I will tell everyone you are putting him to sleep so it will take a while for you to join everyone."
I smile at her gratefully, as she leaves the room. Noel prefers sleeping in silence, he likes it when I or Nathan quietly talk to him while putting him to sleep.
It is really sweet that he loves listening to our voices while falling to sleep. He keeps on watching our faces until his eyes become droopy and then just like that he falls asleep.
After giving him a bottle, I lie down on the bed with him snuggled on my side as he is not ready to let me go. Whenever I put him down he instantly wakes up and starts crying, even I am feeling tired so I take this opportunity to rest a little.
Only a few moments have passed when I hear a very faint knock, I lift my head to see mom quietly walking inside, she smiles when she looks at me.
She keeps her finger to her lips silencing me when I am about to speak as she nods her head towards Noel who is now asleep. Silently, she sits beside me and kisses my head which brings a smile on my face.
"I am sorry, you all are outside and I am here." I speak in a very hushed tone, "He is not ready to leave me." I smile at Noel who is still clutching the front of my shirt tightly in his fist even though he has fallen asleep.
"For a mother, the only thing matters is her children, everything else is secondary." She runs her fingers through my hair which instantly makes me feel relaxed, "So, there is nothing to be sorry about when you are looking after your child."
