Baby Products Review

We just got this for super cheap online (like $55, which is about $200 cheaper than most video monitors):



let me start by saying its a peice of crap if used as the only monitor. Very static-y and the volume does not go high enough. It is not loud enough to wake the parents when the baby starts crying- major flaw!

HOWEVER, it is working out beautifully for us. We already have the Sony Babycall monitor which we love. I was actually pretty sad at the thought of not using it anymore. So we just have both monitors on (surprisingly theres no interference) but only turn on the Sony on when we go to sleep. If I want to see what she's doing if she wakes, I just flip on the video monitor and take a look. It has actually worked out really well! I love that I can take a quick look at what she's doing before I go to bed or when she takes naps. I just turn the volume down all the way so I don't have to listen to the static. So even though I was initially dissapointed with the quality of the Q-See monitor, it worked out and now we have the best of both worlds. Sweet.

Plans for today:
1) finish laundry
2) take a bath
3) go shopping with Kara (maybe? she might come over) I think She's about 30-31 weeks pregnant now- I can't wait to see her belly!
4) Go to St. John's later and visit my sister, eat at an awesome Taqueria, visit some baby consignment stores, and some cool baby toy stores (might even get a Sophie today. I have been persuaded by success stories $22 rubber teething giraffe. That is so not like me. Okay wait, maybe it is like me)

I suppose I should get off this un-showered pajama wearing booty!
