For the last 2 months we've been receiving bills from the hospital, the anesthesiology practice and the clinic that did Cohen's bilirubin blood work. I've been waiting for final bills to make sure our insurance provider had paid all that they were going to pay. Over breakfast this morning I decided to total up how much everything cost (not including the $500.00 I had to pay to my mid-wife's office leading up to the birth) before I contacted them to make arrangements for payment. The grand total is $3,480.75 and that is WITH health insurance through Christian's employer. So $4,000.00 to have a baby here in Utah and no paid maternity leave. Good times.
Oh well, Cohen is definitely worth it, even though we'll be paying him off in 10 easy installments!
