If you found 2 chances are you have a lot more, they're really good at hiding.

Bedbugs disappeared in the U.S. while DDT was in widespread use. They've come back recently since the chemical has been banned. I don't think Mexico is really to blame.
The feller with the PTSD is alright now, and I'm not even certain if he was ever diagnosed. (My hyperbole, my bad.) Nonetheless now, years later, he lives alone in an almost empty apartment and even carries a single lamp with him from room to room for fear of personal possessions harboring the things.

You're fooked.
My brother brought some home with him last time he stayed home, and it was a nightmare.
I found that mixing iso alcohol, with face wash (Someone help me out here, cyclilic acid sp?)and HOT water works well.
SPRAY EVERYTHING. They hide in the seam of the mattress, the crack in your bed frame, everywhere.
Crack a window, close the door, put a towel at the bottom of the door, and soak errythang.
Goodluck.

You can use diatomaceous earth to supplement the spray as well. You can probably find it at your local hardware store.
Diatoms are really cool, they make silicon dioxide (glass) shells and it cuts the bed bugs and destroys the eggs.

If I were in your shoes, OP, I'd plan to throw away as many of my belongings as possible.
That acquaintance of mine with PBSD reckons that he inherited the bedbugs along with a used stereo receiver he bought. You may want to consider letting your major electronics go.

UPDATE:
After a few nights of not seeing any bed bugs, I found 2 more adults just now. And 2 babies.
Okay, I'm not sleeping in that room anymore.
I'm sleeping in the living room.
I am prepared to throw away a lot of my stuff.
I saw one bed bug popping its head out from a crack under the windowsill.
Ahhhh I have one more bowl of weed left... I'm going to smoke it and then eat an omelote and chill out.

I found one in a bed spread at a hotel in S.F in S.O.M.A.. once and they moved me to another room, then offered to dry clean my clothes, and I took them up on that offer... but even then when I got home I took off all my clothes in my garage and left them and my bags there for two years Fuck bed bugs
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I slept in the living room last night (first night not in my room) and I definitely noticed that I'm a little paranoid about being bit. Hopefully after a few days of not sleeping in my room I will get less paranoid. I haven't found a bug on me yet... that would be horrible.

They'll spread to your whole house over the next few days, take care of it now man I'm telling you. Get rid of your mattress, go wash & dry all your clothes at a laundromat and don't bring them back in your house until you call an exterminator and get rid of them.
They are seriously insects straight from hell.
Even if you gotta go without buying drugs, or whatever, to be able to hire an exterminator, do it.
Not having a bad bedbug infestation is worth whatever the exterminator is going to charge.

wanna get rid of em?
1. first things first. search your mattress for more. do what you want with them but i had a hard time squishing them, the burn nice though.
2. DRY all of your clothes. you dont have to wash em but whatever. that includes sheets, pillow sheets, shoes, kids stuffed animals, anything that can be heat dried. heat kills bed bugs, as long as your dryer is hot enough it'll help.
3. sweep the whole house under furniture and everything. dont miss an inch.
4. spray rubbing alcohol on appliances (ive seen where they lived in speakers, tvs) anyhting warm, they'll live in it.
5. lightly sift diatomaceous earth on the carpet and especially thick against the base boards. this stuff is like powder to us but glass shards to them. look up its health warnings though, i dont think its safe to breath in much.
this worked for me years ago. its cheap and effective.

Would freezing clothes be effective too? Some clothes cant really handle heat. Its real easy to put a bag of clothes or bed linnen in the freezer for a couple of days.
That is how we deal with lice small kids tend to get in school.
Maybe get one of those plastic allergy covers for your mattress so you can lock them in/out.

From what I've read, bed bugs can survive up to 5 days at 17 degrees Fahrenheit or so.
They can't survive more than 5 minutes in -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
The bugs also can't survive past 120 degrees Fahrenheit or so.
I thought about getting a plastic wrap for my mattress. It might not help, though, because the bugs would just crawl on top of it and still bite me, no?
