So we finally retired Mr. Dave’s 1996 Dodge Intrepid and upgraded to a more respectable family vehicle: The Pontiac Torrent. We wanted a small SUV that had enough room for a bambino and a GSD. We almost went with an Escape, but the guy at the Ford dealership was extremely rude and unpleasant. Mr. Dave negotiated like a pro and I glared at the salesman the whole time (as we rushed to the dealership after work and I didn’t have time to eat dinner. We didn’t expect to be there till 9:30 closing the deal, but we ended up driving the new car home).
On a baby update- my doctor’s appointment went well on Wednesday and we are still maintaining the status quo- no real progress to report. The doctor happily reported, again, that we could go at anytime. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then maternity leave till June. I must admit that the three hour commute is beginning to take its toll and this evening driving home I had my first Braxton Hicks. Only two to report, but at 39 weeks signs of impending labor are very overdue and Dave thinks we’ll go tomorrow.
