My name is Janann and I have a gambling addiction.
I make it no secret that I LOVE craps. If there was a table anywhere in my city limit, L’s college fund would be in trouble. When I was in my first trimester, I went to Vegas for a bachelorette party. I was still keeping my pregnancy under wraps which was no easy task in that town! When I would make my secret departure from the clubs dying to get some sleep, I managed to find myself at the craps table for a couple more hours.
(***Keeping it Simple*** side note: To hide my pregnancy, I drank ginger ale in a champagne flute and it worked like a charm. The key is in the bubbles.)

As demonstrated in Smock-tions, I tend to use gambling references more often than I should. Today’s post is no different. We call our baby video monitor “ The Eye in the Sky."
My husband takes it even further when he puts L down in the crib. When he knows I am watching through the monitor, he put L in her sleep sack and “checks out” like a black jack dealer by flipping his hands in front of the camera. You know what I mean? They have to show the Eye in the Sky that they are not holding any chips or cards up their sleeves. Why do some jokes never get old? It still makes me laugh!
This very long intro is to present the Summer Infant Video Monitor.
When I was registering, I thought the video monitor seemed unnecessary and only registered for the audio monitor. A couple of people decided against my choice and got the video monitor anyways. I am thankful to them daily. IT IS THE BOMB!
I can't tell you how much it helped us implement Baby Wise. We learned L's sleep habits: when she was just talking in her sleep and when she was actually awake. Letting her cry it out was one of the hardest things to do when sleep training. I found that hearing the cry was completely unbearable and would make me want to go pick her up immediately. With the video, I could mute the volume and just keep the video part on. Success!
I highly recommend making the investment towards a video monitor. They keep coming out with new models, so it is hard to recommend a specific one. Read the reviews to decide which one would be best for you.
Registry suggestion: Also, register for an audio monitor for travel and staying with grandparents. Since you mount the camera for the video monitor, it is not easily portable.
Good luck to you with your eye in the sky and all future craps rolls! I guess are new saying the next time we roll will have to be , "Baby needs a new pair shoes!"
