Babies come with a lot of paperwork that needs to be filled out. You have to name them, register their birth, and apply for EI among other things. I found trying to keep track of all of it a little overwhelming (especially with my pregnancy brain!) so here's a pretty good list for you to browse.
Some of the paperwork is given to you by the hospital (like the one for officially naming your baby), but there is other stuff you have to do yourself (like going to a Alberta Registries office to apply for baby's birth certificate).
I also know that Jahn had to phone the Calgary Board of Education to let them know when Jack was born (within 48 hours, I think), but it's a bit of a blur to me since he took care of that...
Thank goodness we have husbands and moms around to help with all this stuff so we can sit back and enjoy our newborns (oh yeah, and recover from giving birth!).
