Yup. Hope she can and does breastfeed, too--good for the kids and
they're not sick as much. Or maybe mine were just healthy.

Like it! This is a dumb question, but is it machine-washable?
Ravel-proof? Chewing-friendly? [Dumb because you have a son and will
know to look for these, but I hadda ask.]

I saw the Hagrid, Fluffy, Norbert, and Flat Hedwig toys at the Warner
Brothers store today. They aren't real breathtaking, and are not
recommended for under 3 (except the flat Hedwig, which isn't a stuffed
owl so much as a big owl-shaped pillow). BUT, I saw a little Gund dragon
in a toy store which was JUST adorable and cost about $16.

Sooo, I think we should do the blanket if it's baby-worthy, and a little
other. I could go for the mobile, but the Gund dragon is real cute, too.
I'll see if I can't find a pic of it someplace at an e-store.
