    Spent the first 26 years of my life in vancouver.  BUUT my H is american so at some point we had to pick a country...

    He won, cause he made like 4 times the amount of money I did. lol.

    Where r u at?

    I love LOVE Vancouver (but could never afford to live there haha!) I'm in Ontario..

    I guess that money is important. lol but I couldn't imagine having a child in the States when I can do it all here for free!

    Oh I feel that!  It was part of the discussion...he makes enough, even before I got KU i didnt have to work (yes yes Im a slacker) and he has full medical coverage...it'll cost us $100 co-pay to have the baby here, and in a beautiful women's hospital...so I gave in.

    There's NO way I'd deal with this here if we had regular or god forbid NO medical though when I could've done it back home... But I'm loving my private OBGYN and the Sharp women's hospital is GORGEOUS.

    I got my own TV and beverage service when in triage yesterday...felt kinda like a spa.  Was kinda strange actually...

    Yeah that's the other benefit of being in Canada... 1 year of maternity leave paid! I haven't decided if I'll come back after, but the option is there anyways.. I don't know how they expect most of you girls in the States to go back after only a few months!

    A few months?!  LOL

    In california they only have to give women 6 weeks...and I dont think they have to pay you even...Im not 100% on that though...I'm hoping to be competitive they at least offer more than that...

    Buuuut, thats why when you want kids, you find a job with maternity benefits...
