Hi,
Just a quick note about our doctor's visit on Monday. Not only did the doctor put aside our concerns about Nicolle's cervix length (her cervix measured more than it has the past three visits; we think Nicolle just has a short cervix naturally); the doctor also told us she won't let us know the sex of the baby until after 20 weeks, the cutoff date for an abortion in Japan. This isn't China with its one child policy; nevertheless, our doctor said that a small number of people here might still abort a female fetus if they find out its gender before the 20 week deadline. I don't mind waiting until the next visit to find out. I really like our doctor.

hey! i'm glad you like your doctor--healthcare really is such a hassle here in the states, and doctors and patients both seem really exasperated with it. dave left super early this morning to go to a meeting on long island, and i am teaching soon (first day back to school). take care! talk to you soon.
So when will you know--two more weeks? Boy or girl probably isn't the most important thing to know about a new human being, but it is the most obvious and immediate thing to know I guess.
hummm... I will have to say a boy. That is my guess, I had to get that in before you let us know (the guessing game is fun for us all). Tell us what the two of you guess. Funny to think that back in the old days we would be talking about the "guessing boy or girl game" right before you delivered, but today we do it months before they even come. I kind of like it better that way anyways! Makes you better prepared! Sooo, have you guys decided to have the baby in Japan or the States?
