Baby Monitor - Take It or Leave It?

I feel a little guilty saying this, but I'm sick of the baby monitor! I am a light sleeper, and every little noise or sigh that my daughter makes wakes me up and I have a difficult time falling back to sleep. I feel like I could probably hear her if she really cried and needed me, but what if I didn't? What are your thoughts? (She is 8 months old...I also have a 3 year old, but I figure he can come get me if he needs me)

Constipation in a 3 Year Old

My daughter is 3 and is suddenly constipated. She has been an awesome eater until turning 3 and now she eats a very limited variety of foods. We are in the midst of potty training which I read can be an issue with withholding her poop, but she willingly uses her potty to move her bowels and it is the peeing that is the issue. Her diet was high in dairy since she would not eat any meat. She ate a lot of cheeses and yogurts for a protein source. These foods never constipated her before. She WILL NOT drink water and tells me she doesn't...
