celticdragonflySo today Jamie, Maggie and I went to the Tarrant County courthouse and got a copy of his birth certificate. (I have now nursed Jamie in the TC courthouse...) It was a bit odd. I don't think they're used to getting births from the city of Saginaw. I think it's pretty rare. The one lady was trying to tell me they didn't have it, and I was telling her I'd called first and confirmed that they did - and the lady I'd talked to on the phone had to end up explaining to her "you know all those cities we do death certs for? We do birth certificates for them too." But then most births would be hospital births, in the city of Fort Worth, and those would be at the City Clerk's office. Saginaw doesn't have a hospital, and I guess they don't see that many home births. The lady was apologetic about having to print the birth certificate on this really long form - it looks kinda strange, this short form in the middle of this sea of empty official form paper. What she didn't say, but I infer, is that usually they only have to print up death certs, which I guess are longer. I said as long as the Social Security office accepted it I didn't care!
So my Texas boy is official now. Huzzah. Now I have to figure out where to go to get his SS#, and to give them changes of address for the rest of us. THEN we can get going on our taxes.

P.S. Have I told you how cute all the pictures you've been posting of your kids are? Hugs to all of them!

Oh, well, I had to get back to the house to be here when Brendan got off the bus.

Must get another Jamie shot up soon.
