Shortly after I got married, my wife and I decided that we wanted to have kids. When we found out she was pregnant, we couldn't wait to find out if we were having a boy or a girl.
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?
assistant
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.
user
What is 2000 yen equal to in U.S. currency?
assistant
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?
assistant
I wouldn't be able to tell you, since I wasn'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 doesn't apply here.
