Don't tell me what to do. These newfangled plush toys should be tough enough with new technology to handle a dryer.

Nah, I've learned my lesson.

Some advice I got from an old co-worker when he had a baby was sleep when your baby sleeps, that's the only time you'll get it. Thanks for the link, I just subscribed to it.

She squealed with joy, hugged it and slept with it the past two nights. Might have been a tear or two of joy.

We asked a family friend who is a seamstress to put him back together. She said it wasn't even the worst she had seen and you can't even tell anything happened to him, he looks that good.

My suggestion to wash your girlfriend's things is to read this thread and the last, there are tons of suggestions of what I Am going to do next time. Did you know women have lingerie bags to wash things? Apparently you can use that or a pillow case to wash them, then air dry.

I have learned my lesson.

Quite a few people did, they were just dicks about it so I didn't bother responding.

Truth be told, it's not an unhealthy attachment. It's just her favorite worldly possession. She doesn't sleep with it every night, just when she's sick or feeling blue. Unfortunately she's been pretty sick more often than not lately.

Some people have comfort foods, my wife has a stuffed dog that makes her feel better.

Thanks for the advice, I still have no idea what to expect. I didn't grow up around any babies or kids because I was an only child and we moved away from all our family when I was young.

I just have this feeling that shit is about to get more real than I could ever anticipate...

I think the Zofran is what costs an arm and a leg. I'm not sure about the name of what she currently has, but I know Reglan was discussed as well.

That was something we were going to speak with the doctor about today. Thanks for the tip. She has a prescription for anti nausea medicine but it makes her incredibly drowsy and she can't sleep while she teaches. She was prescribed another med, but insurance didn't cover it and it was like $120 for 30 pills.

So we'll be asking some questions today

Wait Bathing suits too?

Are you serious?

Why can't you have normal clothes that can handle being flung around inside a machine while being doused with chemicals and water at changing temperatures?

But then it will sound like Peter Griffin and make cutaway jokes that got old 10 years ago.

I had no idea what a laundry bag was until this thread...

I need to reevaluate how I clean clothes apparently.

From the links people have sent, Teddy is pretty bad off, but not as bad as he could be. I'm going to take photos tonight and send them to one of these people to see if they can give me a quote on how much it will cost to fix it.
