It's been a rough week around here with Ava waking up Monday morning with a high fever. We were in the emergency room with her until 3am on Wednesday night (Thursday morning), after several panicked calls to the doctor in the meantime, and by the time a heat rash showed up this morning, roseola was an obvious diagnosis.
Thankfully the hubs found a couple treasures on Craigslist this week to help us all cope...
We caved on the glider (because it wasn't the one I had my heart set on, which you can see here) just because it was a total steal and in mint condition. And it was so crucial this week as Ava needed constant rocking, holding, soothing, and comforting. We slept for hours together in this chair. (I can't believe we went so long without one!)
The table and chairs, also a steal of course, have provided our little darling with some much-needed distraction from her maladies. As horrible as she feels, we can already see how much she loves swaddling her baby doll in a blanket and propping on a chair for a little tea time (slurping sounds included, which I'm sure I'll regret teaching her). Every little girl needs a tea set!
The glider really doesn't fit in or go with the room (we were already pushing it with the dark stained walnut and white furniture combo), and I don't know how worth it it would be to try to stain or paint, but I am still so relieved to finally have one, and for the price we paid and the condition it's in, I don't even care.
