I swear, Ron' words about Hermione 'She needs to get her priority straight'
could apply to me right now.
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, my main worry was not, 'oh geeze, I must eat healthy!'
'will it be healthy?' 'am I going to miscarry'. So yes, those thoughts and many others have come and gone in my head, much like I know they have with other momma' to be and momma who have been.
But my big worry that has kept me awake some nights after googling for info is... Will I ever find a baby car seat that will fit in my 2003 Jeep TJ!
I know, silly!!!
But you got to understand. I've wanted a Jeep since the first time I rod in my uncle Paul Renegade jeep as a kid.
He took us out in the woods, out in some river, up some hills, oh I had fallen in love having the breeze in my hair and getting a bit of splashes of water from the river!
From early on, I dreamt of having my dream car. A Wrangler jeep(Yes, we can call them Wranglers here In Canada now!)
Well, about 4 or 5 years ago, that dream became reality when my brother, who also dreamt of owning a jeep bought his very first TJ! Oh My the Gods I was sooooo jealous! But within six months, his dream collapsed when he and his wife had the sudden news they were expecting AND my brother had just made the big decision to go back to school to become an electrician.
What was his misfortune in loosing the vehicle of his dream became My reality of having mine!HA! Well, I took over his jeep since the poor guy would of lost quite a few grand on trying to resell it after just buying it from the lot.
Jeeps are not the most comfortable rides, but I've seen so much worse! I love how you are higher than most vehicles, I enjoy being compact and it turns on a dime! Better, the top off! OMG, having a Jeep has taken me out of my glow in the dark pale vampiric skin to a freckled semi tanned tone! yes yes, I've traded the child of the night gig for the redneck git'er muddy!
I love it. Love the jeep movement, love the jeep wave, love the look of the vehicle, everything. Oh yes, and It totally makes me score brownie points in the summer when I strip it bare(no roof, no doors) and take my nephews and niece out for a ride!! I swear, I am the coolest thing out there when summer comes! And even winter since I tend to do silly things with them....Shhhh.. Don't tell their parents!
Anyway....SQUIRREL!
....I was saying, I am worrying almost nightly, How am I going to fit a baby car seat in the back of my shoe box jeep!?!? You see, some will tell me, bring your passenger seat all the way to the front and voila! you got room! yeah..And where will I or my tall husband sit? Strap on the hood like a deer who met it's doom on a nice crispy Autumn day? Because, I'm 5'11, and he's 6 feet. We need leg room in our little Gem of a red jeep I call my Morgan.(Long story lol)
I'm sure there is some special baby seat out there made for a compact car, I mean c'mon! Look at all the Europeans and their little toy cars! I doubt they put their babies in a wagon and tie it to the bumper of their cars!!!!
Oh well.....If we don't find something, I guess, I'll have to like dump my husband. Like hell I'm getting rid of my jeep! :P
PS....I'm just kidding! Never getting rid of Jacques! He's to awesome to get rid of! ....And a new model would be to much breaking in and training to do! AHAHAh
