I'm tired of being sick. I sleep as much as possible, but I'm hardly ever not tired. I bullied myself into bed last night at eleven, and got up around six, when Sam wanted to nurse. It was the first time she'd *really* nursed (for more than five minutes) since she got sick. I'm *very* relieved.

Then, she curled up with me and we started to go back to sleep, but she woke up again. I brought her out to the living room and got her to sleep in the swing with a bottle, and very little fuss. Sometimes, she needs to cuddle to sleep, and sometimes she needs her own space.

Mum was talking about getting her a toddler bed...it'd go next to our bed. I don't know if she'd actually sleep in it right now, but it'd be nice to have for when she *does* want her own bed. We're fine with her sleeping with us, but I totally understand wanting your own space.

Congestion wise, I'm *way* better...I don't have to worry about overdoing and ending up having to sit down and just *breathe* for ten minutes. Except for some coughing (which will last for a couple more months...it always does) and a bit of a stuffed nose, I'm fabulous...if I could only get past the tiredness bit. Bleah.

I've got good friends...I feel better...um...supported...than I have in a very long time. I'm working harder to keep in *real* touch, y'all. Sorry I've been drifting for so long.

I'm going to see if Sam's asleep enough to move to the bed. You never know...one more nap may make everything all better for me. *fingers crossed* :)
