Crap. I drank too much wine. Now I can't go to bed right away, but I really really need to. Ugh.
Is it bad that I want to make an itemized list, including conception charges, meds, prenatal care and now this to trot out when Noah asks me to buy him a car or some other such?
Heh. The first item in my baby book is the bill from the hospital, showing all charges covered by insurance, with the notation "Born free!"

Heh.
I was comped, myself, due to damage. My mother only managed to bargain them down to half price on little sis, due to the same forceps scar.
Suddenly I'm suspicious of my bargain-loving mother.
A family member raised a son that became a very successful attorney. When his firm accidentally sent dad a bill for services rendered, he in turn sent his son a bill for room, board, education, etc. The son paid the bill. They had a most unhealthy relationship.
Me, I always tell the boys that I didn't pay the last payment to the hospital and they are at risk of repossession.
Did your family member write
The Bill From My Father?!
The bill from your mother, if issued, will always be higher.
I found the hospital bill from my dad's birth in an old family bible. I think it was around $60.

Ha. No, but another book could have been written about these two. I often wanted to slap them both.
Gilmore Girls is making me sniffly.
When I was a kid, we were travelling from Ohio to visit friends in Connecticut where I was born. My dad had a receipt for $7 from the hospital that they had paid (military hospital). He threatened to return me and get his money back if I did not behave on the trip.
Is it any wonder I'm completely warped?

My parents would occasionally claim that they got me from the Second-Hand Childrens Store, and that if they could only find the receipt, they would go get their money back. IIRC, I would counter with threatening to turn them into frogs.
Kat, the pictures are wonderful. I've been thinking of Noah and Grace a lot lately.
