Okay, so today was a big milestone for me. I unpacked all of my belongings out of plastic bags. I have faith that they are now gone or on the way out (as the dust takes a couple of days to kill them) and I will be able to resume a normal life. All of our beds are isolated and I made sure that they will have to cross pesticides before they reach us and realize they cannot get to us.

I prayed in all the corners of my upper levels. It really helped to calm my nerves. Last night I thought I seen a bump on the back of my six months old's neck. I was wrong. My mind playing tricks on me I guess. Today, I thought I saw a blood spot but realized it was not. LOL! It was take some time before I can live life without being so hyper vigilant but at least all of my belongings are as they should be and I am not being ruled by those pests anymore.

Its funny, they are so good at hiding that you sometimes feel that you are fighting an invisible enemy that out smarts you at every turn.

I have learned that that is a false reality. In reality, they are just bugs. Even the smallest ones are visible to the naked eye. They have been eradicated from hundreds of homes and have been eradicated from mine.

God Bless

Thought they were gone but they are not

So, I have dusted, had the PCO treat twice, I have sprayed, I have isolated, and then I have done it all again and guess what, my baby got bite twice this week. Sigh. I don't know if it was while he was in his crib or pack n play. I don't know what else to do. I treated the pack n play. I will treat his bed and re isolate it today. He slept with me last night. I have yet to inspect for any new bumps. When will this be over? I wouldn't mind all the hard work if someone could just tell me I will eventually get rid of them. I cant go through this forever.

I awoke with an itchy thigh and a small bump but I do not think it is a bite. I wasn't going to have my PCO treat again but know I am. This will be the third treatment. Ugh!!!

Oh, and last night, when I was preparing for my shower after dusting with the powder, I noticed a tiny bug in my bath tub. I thought, how in the world could it survive in my house with all the DE powder I have. Then I thought, here is my chance to have a bug in captivity and see how long it takes the DE powder to kill it. So I capture it and it died in the process. Drats!! I examined it as best as I could and I do not think it is a bed bugs. But if should have not been able to get in my bathroom without coming in contact with the powder. Maybe it had and was going to die soon as a result. Who knows?
