Which is the correct way to join the sentences below using conjunction "and"? Do we need to use personal pronoun "she" as per (2) or can it be omitted as per (1)?

My mother went shopping. My mother bought me a doll.

  1. My mother went shopping and bought me a doll.

  2. My mother went shopping and she bought me a doll.

To my limited perception, the two sentences have slightly different meanings. When the personal pronoun is used

My mother went shopping and she bought me a doll.

the connection between going shopping and buying a doll is a coincidental. If you omit the pronoun

My mother went shopping and bought me a doll.

it says (to my ear, anyway) that buying a doll was in part the aim of mother's going shopping.
