I had to pay $40 to hold my baby

On Sept 4th my son was born.  In the OR the nurse asked if we wanted to do skin to skin as soon as possible after he was born.  After the C-section  our baby was cleaned up and ready for skin to skin. 

Later we both got a laugh about the itemized bill with a 39.35 charge for skin to skin time.

So I posted it on Reddit and it blew up.  To be clear I wasn't complaining or trying to send people on a witch hunt for the hospital.  We had a very positive experience
during the birth of our son, and the hospital and staff were great throughout the entire process.

I posted the bill to Reddit because I thought it was funny. It has been interesting to see the shock from people around the world at the cost of medical expenses in the USA. 

If I reach my goal of $39.35 I will use it to pay off this "ridiculous" fee.

Any money donated over the $39.35 will be put towards a vasectomy because I never want to go though these sleepless new baby nights again.
