Finnian's Journey: Done

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Done

I did it. I went yesterday and got a new certified copy of Finn's birth certificate with the correct date stamped on it, and I went back to Social Security this morning and applied for his SSN. Woo hoo. I hope I don't see the inside of another government office for a loooooooong time.
