I got another hospital bill for having Nicholas. He has to pay for the same room I used and for a bunch of other junk.
I am looking at a total of $2400 plus just for having him.
UGH

Now I am being charged 2 times for the same things, once from the OB and then the hospital.
The hospital said its normal and they can do it.

Interesting. By the same things do you mean items or procedures?? For example, they can't charge you for 2 water pitchers if you only used one, but if the hospital and the ob were both involved with a procedure then natrually they would both bill you. Sorry if I'm just bugging you, you don't have to respond. One of the hospitals I worked for got in trouble for pulling this kind of crap and paid out the yin yang for it. People complain about insurance companies but don't understand that they have to protect themselves from being taken advantage of by the hospitals, who try to build their revenue by overcharging insurances to make up for the folks who will never pay. It's a vicious cycle.

He is doing well. Keeps me on my toes 24/7, but he is a wonderful child and happy to have him.
He has started smiling and making noises, too cute.
