So we might be better off just paying more out of pocket and using my benefits.
Aren't benefits great? It's enough to make you drink.

I think you could use her benefits to have the kid and then since you would fall under a qualified life stlye change , you would then qualify for Express benefits again and you could then transition back without having to wait for the new year. You'll have 45 days from the birth of your child to return to Express benefits.
