when my wife and i got married , we knew we wanted to have kids . when we found out that we were expecting , the only thing on our mind for the longest time was if we were having a boy or a girl . what exciting news ! did you find out ahead of time what the gender of the baby was ? we did ! we were living in japan at the time , and we were paying this clinic 2000 yen a week so we could keep getting ultrasounds of the baby . what is 2000 yen equal to in u.s. currency ? at the time , the exchange rate was about 110 yen to the dollar , so it was pretty affordable , and worth it to keep going back . it sure sounds like it . i think healthcare in japan is much more affordable that here in america , do you agree ? i would n't be able to tell you , since i was n't under their healthcare system . this was just a women 's clinic that offered this service pretty cheaply . oh , okay , well i watched a documentary about healthcare in other countries . i understand that does n't apply here .
The anticipation of finding out the gender of their expected baby.
