A note about two nights ago...

Marta woke around 2 a.m. for a feeding and I pulled the monitor over to me to watch her with the hope she'd go back to sleep. She did, and I fell asleep with the monitor's screen on, two inches from my face. A couple minutes later I woke up because of the bright light from the screen, and noticed a GIANT STINK BUG on the screen TWO INCHES FROM MY FACE. IN MY BED. Do I even need to write all the possibilities here? In my mouth, hair, crawling all over my body, how long had it lived in my sheets? Trevor woke up and said, "That's weird, those bugs usually only like warm environments." Um, like my ear canal? In that spot at the bottom of the bed where my feet are?
