Baby Mobile

A few months into this pregnancy the air conditioning in my car gave out. Fixing everything that is wrong with the air conditioner would have cost more than the car is worth. This car is also the one I’ve been driving since I was 16. It’s a two door and not conducive to hauling around a baby. So the decision was made to buy a new car. Tony wanted to get one immediately, but I thought we should wait. So I drove around in Houston without air conditioning from June until now. It’s really not as bad as it sounds because I only drive 5 miles to the bus stop and back each day.

So time passed, and we started to car shop in earnest in October. We have oscillated back and forth over several vehicles at dealerships and from private sellers we found on the internet. By last weekend, I was tired of thinking about cars and had no energy to walk or even drive around dealership lots. I told Tony we could just wait until after the baby was born to deal with it.

Yesterday, my hero went out and found a great car without me. He did all of the shopping, haggling and signing without me. I got to go home and nap while he bought the car. Last night he brought it home to me, and I drove it around Sugar Land for a while. It’s a 2003 silver Volvo with low mileage and nice features. I am so excited about the new vehicle and the fact that my husband was nice enough to let me sleep while he took care of everything.
Maybe Maggie will come out now that she has a very safe and reliable car with air conditioning to be driven around in.
