Our baby is legit

Both the state and federal governments have officially recognized our baby. No, I don't mean she was given they key to the city or any kind of medal but she was given her social security card and birth certificate. The feds sent us the social security card about 3 days before we got the birth certificate. It makes you wonder how that is possible. Shouldn't they have verified with the state that she really was born or are they just going to take my word for it? Ahh well, who knows what kind of machinery works behind the scene in the Social Security Administration.

Anyway, she's official now. So there is no longer a chance of selling her on the black market. Not that we were really considering it.

It is kind of amusing. The social security card came with the instructions to sign it in ink immediately. I'm sure this is the standard information they send out to everybody, but what's a baby supposed to do? We were thinking of rolling her hand in ink and printing it, but that would have just been messy. Okay, maybe that wasn't very amusing. But at 4 in the morning after being up for several hours, it seemed pretty funny.
