The push present that completes the transformation

When I got pregnant, Drew and I talked about our needs in a car.  Last May I got my big girl car that I loved more than anything.  However, once Sofia came along it became clear that my beloved Accord wouldn't fit the bill anymore.  There was no longer room to transport the baby and the dog at the same time, so Drew took it upon himself to upgrade us.


One afternoon, Drew and his dad went back to John Eagle Honda - unbeknownst to me.  You know that saying that it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission?  Yeah, that was Drew.  He came home with an SUV and called it my push present in an effort to appeal to my good side.


Long story short, I am now a full-out mom.  The transformation is complete - I've been upgraded.
God, that thing is a monster.  It makes my Accord look teeny!
It will go well with my Assault Stroller.

Now I have a giant SUV, a giant dog and a baby.  I'm such a cliche.  

If anyone calls me a soccer mom, they're getting a kick in the shins.

    Yeah, I was going to say the same thing with a mini van. THAT'S when you get the "soccer mom" comments. I told my friends and family LONG ago, I don't care how many kids I have, I will NEVER own an mini van. NEVER. :)

    My husband has the small SUV and I drive the car but I have my eyes on one in particular...now I just gotta convince him I need it. :)

    Enjoy the new car. Space is always nice to have. Wait until she starts actually needing toys and such, then you'll really appreciate the space.

    Hey I have that car. ;) With Ava we had to drive Adam's Toyota Carolla because there was NO WAY that a car seat would fit in my Subaru Impreza! In June, knowing we were going to try for #2 we knew the Subaru had to go. So I traded it in and got a SUPER HUGE shiny black Honda Pilot.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!! I agree with Rania. Once she turns around and is needing toys etc, you'll really love the space (and especially if you guys have more children).

    Does it have the built in dvd player? Ava LOVES being able to watch Elmo's world in the car.

    Woah! You should see us with our teeny tiny VW golf with 3 car seats in the back seat. It's a miracle but we all fit. I will be so sad to get rid of our beloved Golf when we have another kid.

    You're totally not a suburban mom! :) A suburban mom would have picked a mini-van. Not you. So much cooler! :)

    I love the photo addition to the blog BTW!

    I'm the strange one of the bunch, I know it, no one has to tell me because I want my next car to be a mini van! I loveeee mini vans. Don't ask me why because I really don't know lol.

    I love your new suv tho. I'm enjoying being car note free right now so there is not upgade in sight. But when I do, it'll probably be a mini van lol

    COMPLETE! How exciting :) Looks like a safe/big choice.

    I had never heard the quote "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission?" That's so true, I might have to remember that..

When you leave me a comment, my phone chimes. I run to it from across the house, anxious to read what you've said. I save them in my email and read them multiple times a day, which is why you may not get an immediate response but I promise I eventually respond to every comment that has an email address.

You make me smile - I just thought you should know.
