me? sri lankan? no...


after GG's 2 month Pediatrician visit, I ventured down to the department of vital records to get an official birth certificate. We are planning a couple of international trips this year and I want to be sure I get the kids' passports given the backlog at the State Department for passports.

After paying the $23 fee and waiting merely 25 minutes , I get called to pick up the document! Yay! Score one for government office efficiency. Um Not so Fast...

After skimming it, I noticed that my birth place is listed as SRI LANKA!! doh! not!
So, I guess, somebody at the hospital was a little too fast and frisk with the drop down menu.
NOW....I have to call the hospital, make them aware of the mistake and have them resubmit the information, and then venture 30 minutes from my home AGAIN or bring my own birth certificate to prove the mistake so that the office can amend the birth certificate.

I quickly surmised that all of this was the doing of that evil evil man named "Murphy" (of Murphy's Law) reminding me that 25 minutes was entirely TOO QUICK to get something done at a government office. *sigh*

IN OTHER GG NEWS...
so the report from today's visit is that she is 10 lbs 12 ounces and 21 1/2 inches tall. Her weight is in the 50th percentile and height 25%. So she's short. I'm short. No worries. It's so different to hear that about her b/c the boys were always in the 90+% for height and weight always. But then, it's best that they take after their dad and she take after me in the height department. there goes my plan for her to be a super model! Ha ha!

** UPDATE! I HATE VACCINES FOR MAKING MY BABY INCONSOLABLE WHILE DEALING WITH THE PAIN AND WAITING FOR THE TYENOL TO KICK IN! argh!!!
