Got the costs of midwife service down by $800!
We've used midwives for all mini-mustaches. 11yrs ago, cost was around $2750. I guess it's become a popular 'in' thing to do, because the 'sticker' cost for the same services has climbed to well over $6k!! 2-minute phone call to our provider, she agreed to waive several fees and give discounts on others, getting down to about $5500.
I don't recommend collecting mini-mustaches as a financial investment. But they sure make life interesting and fulfilling :)
