Why have I been paying for AFLAC? We bought the short term disability policy about 9 years ago when we started trying for a baby. Well here we are ready to use it. So I call this morning to find out for sure how it is going to pay…here is when I get mad! We knew that it would pay for bed rest, NICU and then maturnity leave. What we didn’t know is that for the 3 months that I will not be getting a pay check from Cooper I will only receive $1000 from AFLAC. That’s right!!! I will only make $1000!!!! How do people who are off work longer get buy? I am starting to FREAK OUT a little bit. I guess all the budget planning Kyle wanted to do will start today. Did I mention we still need to buy baby furniture? baby basics? I do believe this is going to send me over the edge!!!! Any ideas for cutting cost? I thought our lives would officially change AFTER Brogan got here, not while he was still in the womb.
Watch us Grow!!!

I am SOOOO sorry! This happened with my AFLAC plan, too, when I was pregnant. Does the school district have short and/or long term disability? That is how I made it with Ainsley.
Nope. What I have is what I have. All the school does is take my pay for each day I am gone. So I will miss 2 weeks of my May check, all of August, all of September and maybe October (depends on when Brogan comes).
I’m so sorry! That stinks. We are praying for you and Kyle and Brogan and Brynnlee! I wanted to come see you this week, but I have had a stomach bug and assume you don’t want it!
Take care of yourself, as that is the most important thing right now. The rest always works out, I promise!

That’s 1000 total for those 3 months right…not 1000 per month? Some plan…sorry you went with AFLAC and now are being screwed by them. That’s just not right! This makes me mad!!!!!
