This sounds really silly but I’m at a total loss here! Sarah accidentally knocked her video monitor on the floor and now it’s not working! I about had a panic attack when I put her down to sleep for the night and realized I couldn’t “watch” her. How stupid is that!! We’ve only had the monitor for a few months but having it break tonight made me realize that I’m a little obsessed with it! My mom is coming to town to watch her on Wednesday and I called her and told her to buy another one before she comes down (we don’t live close to a store to purchase a new one). My mom laughed at first at how panicked I sounded about it…but then agreed that it would be hard for HER to watch Sarah without the monitor too b/c she’s so used to it also! Any other video monitor addicts out there that can relate!??! amy00132007-10-15 21:04:49
LOL Amy!! I feel responsible for this camera monitor addiction! SORRY!! haha It is soo hard to go to not watching.. from watching everynight. Ours broke twice..and we just called them and they told us to send it to them.. and they sent us a new one! They are so expensive ..that they really are good about that. So we bought one from target.. and used it until our new one came!! hahaa.. and returned it! I know horrible huh? But i couldnt go a week without one!
oh no! I am sorry it broke. we never used those kind, just the regular sound kind. I am a bit obsessive about things in general, so dh wouldnt let me get that b/c he knew better. lol. Maybe you could call them and tell them that it got “tapped” and stopped working and how odd for it to do that and maybe they’ll send a new one.
Ours suddenly started getting really fuzzy reception so we had to go to using just the sound part of it. It was a hard adjustment, but I did get used to it. I do understand though… I’m totally addicted to baby monitors in general. I never get it when people tell me that they actually function without them!
I stopped using monitors all together when Ariella was around 4 months old. The strange thing is that I feel the need to use it now since she’s older and moves around her crib too much.
