Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!

I used to say that all of the time without a second thought, but these days, they have taken on a more literal meaning. It turns out that we have brought a little more home from Ethiopia than we expected. That's right, folks, we have bed bugs!



It seems that perhaps we are not the only ones either! After speaking with the Grinbergs, the other family at the guest house with us, they are having some issues as well. We do not seem to have an infestation, as I have only gotten 1 new bite in the past 3 days. We are, however, treating it as such. We wash the sheets and blankets constantly, spray poison on the mattress every day, and vacuum, and spray the hamper, etc... UGH! As if a new baby isn't enough to make one tired:o) It is yet another reason we have been a little quiet lately. Keep your fingers crossed for us in this adventure. I am really hoping we do not need an exterminator, but we will get one if it comes to it! I feel itchy just writing this post.

So I will end it as I started it. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
