history: 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_comma_ we knew we wanted to have kids.  When we found out that we were expecting_comma_ 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_comma_ 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_comma_ the exchange rate was about 110 yen to the dollar_comma_ so it was pretty affordable_comma_ and worth it to keep going back.
current: It sure sounds like it. I think healthcare in Japan is much more affordable that here in America, do you agree?
next: 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.
