Carrie’s New Baby Buggy

Waaay back in October we started setting up a baby registry.  We picked bottles and toys and diapers and all sorts of things — including a rear-facing infant seat.  My aunt bought us that seat when she came to visit at the end of the month…. and we immediately discovered that the only way the seat would fit in my car is if the front passenger seat is all the way forward and completely unreclined.  So, I could take myself and the baby places, but wouldn’t accommodate other people and baby stuff.  My beloved Baja instantly became useless.

We decided to wait until after Carrie arrived to replace the Baja because we figured that it would be best for us to figure out what we really needed before we just ran out and bought a car.   We were planning on going out to have dinner and then look at some cars on the evening of March 2nd to get the shopping out of the way so we could just buy once she was born.  Carrie, of course, had a different idea since she decided to arrive on the morning of the 2nd.  I will say that wandering around car lots, being accosted by salesmen and hopping in and out of cars does not make a fun time for someone who gave birth just 5 days prior, but it had to be done.

I really like my new car — it fits the baby seat and all of her stuff very well.  It seems to fit me very well, and it’s pretty darned nice considering how reasonable the price was.  I cried when I handed over the keys to my Baja.  It was a good little car.  It was my first ever new car.  I loved it.  But here’s Carrie’s new baby buggy:
