Just got the charges statement from the hospital.  $107,000.  No, that's not a typo.  One hundred and seven thousand dollars.  $38,000 for mommy (for three days in the delivery room and two days in a recovery room, plus tests, surgery, etc.) and $90,000 for baby (one week in the NICU, plus tests, etc.).

All I can say is, thank God for health insurance.  We don't know how much Yelena's insurance will cover, but hopefully most of it.  And now I need to call Kaiser.

One of my all-time favorite pasttimes as a kid: Oregon Trail.  It was actually produced by the Government of Minnesota.  My friends and I played it over and over.
