For us, we&#8217;ve had the work of preparing a spare room that had been used more for storage for 6 years. We&#8217;ve had the many failed attempts at determining gender, and now the changing out of vehicles due to the extra requirements that come with being a parent.<\/p>\n<p>We figured out that my daily driver, a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt with over 100,000 miles on it, had a trunk that could not hold a stroller, let alone a stroller with all the other &#8220;essentials&#8221; of transporting a baby. It was time to trade in the smaller of our two cars (Kim&#8217;s 2008 Hyundai Elantra has a huge trunk for the size of the car) for a larger vehicle. After shopping around and reading reviews, we settled on our brand new (to us) 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.<\/p>\n<p>The car is great and pretty much exactly what we were looking for. It should give us and Hayden many years of comfortable transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, obligatory pictures!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-72 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2683.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2683-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2685.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2685-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2687.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2687-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2679.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2679-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2681.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2681-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2689.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[72]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/haydenfranklin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/IMG_2689-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are things that expecting parents go through between finding out that you&#8217;re pregnant and The Big Day when you bring them home.
