re: insurance payment costs: When my insurance was just myself, costs were low---maybe only $40 a month. I have really great insurance when it's just for the employee. But now that I pay for LO and my husband (because my insurance is better than his), it's $500/month.

Considering how often one of us goes to the doctor, I guess that's still an okay deal and it's taken out pre-tax soooo it makes my income smaller. Silver lining.

It cost our entire $6,000 deductible but considering his birth plus nicu stay was well over $100,000, I'd say we got the better end of the deal. Now we have a $10,000.00 deductible and need to plan for the next birth.
