LEARNING THE HASSLE

My wife has just entered her fifth month of pregnancy. We have just begun to learn just how much hassle is involved with having a baby that actually has nothing to do with the actual process of having a baby. We have a whole mountain of paperwork lying around that we are trying to sort through, fill out, and file in time of the baby’s arrival. My wife’s friend, Lillian, suggested that we get baby organizers. She says that they are a very cheap and convenient way to organize all of the paperwork that goes along with having a child. Back in my grandparents’ days, there was nothing but the birth certificate that a parent needed to legally become a parent. Now, we have all sorts of legal forms. Jillian says that these baby organizers are sold nearly everywhere and that we can go to any convenience store and pick on up. These baby organizers are basically just a compact portfolio with different sections for different types of paperwork. The chances of important paperwork getting lost if it is stored in baby organizers are very slim. Twenty dollars is more than a fair trade for the security of paperwork that will legally make my wife and I the parents of our child.
