So far, we haven't gotten any bites since we started with the new bed. I've been on the lookout, and for the most part, all I've been scratching is old bumps. Occasionally, I'll get confused on whether something is new or old - for example, I just noticed one on toe that is itching, but I seem to recall it being there. Also, the bites we got the first time around tended to react differently to scratching. However, I'm also afraid that, while we may have wiped out the first round, a new bunch of babies are hatching. I've noticed a few small speckles of scabs on my right arm, and I'm hoping no more appear - could it be baby mouths sucking on me?
Jack came down this weekend, and we sealed up a lot of holes in the apartment (er, mistakenly using white caulk instead of clear on several occasionally goddammit!). Hopefully, this will serve in some way to clearing out apartment of the problem.
We had the exterminator come and do the whole apartment today, hopefully dealing a crushing blow to the bed bugs. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I was telling my mom that this type of thing is only upsetting and mind-consuming when you actually sit down and think about it. I mean, it just gets depressing. However, the rest of the time, I really don't think much about it. It's important not to let it consume you is the lesson learned.
