No Better Sleep in the World!

The last few weeks have seen little sleep coming my way. Annabel wakes often as I continue to "nurse on demand". I'm not rushing a set schedule with her since I stay at home and honestly at this point don't "have" to. This causes me to lose major zzzzz's at night and I wake pretty darned tired each and every morning.
.
Then this past week, the household has been sick. I've personally been carrying this cold for 4 days now and for the past 2 continue to lose my voice. I'm achy, have a sore throat and worse of all, my monthly friend is taking this time to reintroduce herself into my life (after tubal) so I'm in a bit of pain. Top that with all of my children waking each night and wanting "Mommy" to come soothe them back to dreamland.
.
Luckily for me, Logan and Arwen returned to school today and Vincent woke up at 6:30 am. So I went about the morning as usual and after lunch it was time for nap. I carried Vince and Annabel upstairs, got Vincent comfy and set for a loooong nap and then took myself and Annabel to my bed.
.
Yes, I am aware of the dangers of co-sleeping BUT I've slept with every child of mine at night for the first month or two. Naptimes are prime co-sleeping times due to the fact I have the entire bed to share with her and I can nurse her in the middle with a pillow along her other side and we can both fall asleep together. This is exactly what I did today.
.
I woke up 2 and a half hours later and felt soooo much better. Then I got to look down into my baby girls sleeping face and kiss her softly. I'm positive there is no better sleep in the world.
