We have a Birth Certificate!

I was so worried about this, but it happened. I literally jumped up and down and grinned like a maniac when I opened the envelope. Andrew grinned like crazy, too. He could tell that mom was excited!

That said, there is something very sobering about seeing your name on someone's birth certificate. I am officially a grown-up now. I feel too young and inexperienced to be someone's mom, but, there it is, in black ink. We are his and he is ours. Forever more, there will be a record of us, a family. Wow.
