We all pretended that wasn't what happened and the soft-hearted owner I worked for actually paid for a new throw rug for her, because she had the cojones to claim the plaster ruined her rug.Some people should only ever live in upstairs units. 

We have to put the kitchen underlayment down before the rug and linoleum man comes in with the linoleum for the kitchen.  

it was a huge headache, but we were successful, and afterward, the house was spotless. in the house you're working on, i'd say, it wouldn't be difficult, since it's not full of personal items. but diatomaceous earth only works if the bugs make physical contact with it. we used ourselves as bait, sleeping on air mattresses in the center of the living room, but it was not ideal, especially with a baby. another thing to consider is that breathing it in can be harmful to your lungs and dries your skin out(it also dried out my rugs and floor a little, but, i wanted to cover all my bases). be sure to get the food grade stuff, wear masks when puffing it around, and only puff small amounts(we used a condiment bottle- for mustard or ketchup). another way to lure them through the de is with heat and carbon dioxide(because we generate heat and carbon dioxide)- you could use candles, but be careful leaving them unattended if you are not staying at home through this process. i wish you the best of luck. bed bugs are no fun.

At least one BR rug is ruined. 

I encourage folks to invest in a pair of slippers and, if they want, an area rug in their bedroom.
