Time to Put the Kid to Work...

Curious what it costs to have a kid these days?

We got the initial bills from the delivery. Grand total - $16K.

The epidural ran $3K - which Shaunna reminds me was worth every penny...

Ends up being about $200 a hour while we were there. But I would say the nurses and staff at SW Washington were fantastic. Night and day different from Kaiser.

Hey, we topped that with Giancarlo! My 3 month stay (just room and board) was 3/4 of a million dollars. That didn't include the thousands to the doctors who treated me, delivered GC, the sonograms with the perinatologist, nor the anesthesiologist! But our bill in the end? $250 Praise God for insurance!
