She was born a few weeks early and we love her beyond words. She is perfect in every way but needed help breathing for the first day because amniotic fluid got in her lungs. Because she was early they wanted to keep her in the NICU for 9 days. Again, there were no surgeries or any procedures of any kind other than putting her on oxygen for a few days. The docs and nurses at Cedars Sinai were amazing.
Yes we both have insurance but she did not have maternity coverage so most of that is not covered. We thought we woud be out of pocket about $15k for the delivery if everything was normal and it was until she went into labor early. We thought the final bill would be like $50k.
Took a few months to get the bill but it arrived yesterday. We just laughed and agreed it was a bargain @ $160k. We agreed we would do it all over again even if there were a few zeros added to the total.
