Another SA baby on the way!!!

[boefixepa]

Sorry, I've been such a rare visitor here lately, but I've been busy at home and at work....so I am a tad late sharing the news here....

We're having a baby!!!! I am due May 6th, right around our first anniversary!!

It was planned to the day, and we are both excited and more than ready. Right now I am signing praises to AFLAC as long as the baby is born AFTER April 25th!!! Between all the extra policies I picked up in preparation (you have to have them 10 months before they cover pregnancy, so you have to get them BEFORE you get pregnant) I will pay out an additional $1K in premiun and reap $6K in cash payouts for a normal delievery!!! More if it's a C-section, complications, ICU, or anything like that. (Which I hope there isn't!) That's a net gain of about 5K!

Just so you know why we didn't wait very long....well I'm 32 already and we want a few kids, so we didn't want to press our luck (we are DONE when I am 40 I draw the line there) and we are in a pretty good situation right now, so we decided to take the plunge.

I guess there is something in the water!!!

A huge congratulations to you and your husband. I am very impressed with your planning!

[PrincessPerky]

Congrats! That's wonderful news. If our planning goes as well, I hope to be making your announcement in about a month Must be something in the water!

Congratulations.

I've got to keep my wife away from that SA water, though.

[FrugalFish]

Congratulations! There must be something in the water (or airwaves) as I just found out we are expecting #2 on June 11. Pretty cool, but a little nerve wracking.

GL- enjoy your pregnancy!

On the AFLAC thing someone asked about....
I have a short term disability policy, I get 6 weeks paid out there
I have a wellness/illness policy - each time I go to the doctor (13 visits at least) I get $20.00, plus more for the deliver as it considered a sickness by policy definiation??? (I don't get it, but I'll take it)
I have a hospitalization policy - each day me, and baby spends in the hospital I get $200.00 a day I believe, I'd have to check the policy
I have an ICU policy, so if I or the baby end up in ICU I gett $600.00 a day for that.

Add it all up and minimum I get paid out $6K over the course of the pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Lots more if there are complications, bed rest, additional hospitalizations, C-sections, ICU time or anything like that, which I hope doesn't happen. Course I have to have my agent do lots of the paper work when the time comes, but hey that's what he's for...

Congratulations! Way to go on the planning.

Hey, sorry I missed this, congratulations and I hope everything goes well.

[Broken Arrow]

Wow, yeah, sorry if I missed this. Congrats! Seems rather quick too. Wasn't it like only yesterday that you got married?

Seems like just yesterday that Boe met "the one"!

[boefixepa]

lol....

Yeah, it was quick. We meet in September, where married in may, and now are expecting in may.....

But what a wonderful happy year it has been....we both are very happy and content with the way things have worked out.

We want to have 3-4 kids (taking it one at a time though) and we want to be finished by 40! Since I'm already 32 we don't have tons of time to debate it. Plus we are in a pretty good place as far as money goes.....basically there wasn't a reason NOT to start.
