The prices have more than doubled since I had my children. I had a ceserian (can't spell) and my bill was not close to that. Whewwwww!! Glad for your insurance huh? and you are right he is sooooo worth it! I seen him sleeping so soundly on your shoulder Sunday morning. I wasn't close enough to take his picture though!! Take Care!!
That had to be Nick getting it down to the penny on what it cost to have a baby. I didnt even want to look at the bill. lol It is outrageous. That little boy is adorable.
Thank the Lord for insurance! They are worth every penny...no matter who picks up the tab!
