We're pregnant!

The baby is due on November 2, 2002.

According to an ancient Chinese calendar, which uses the mother's Chinese age and the Chinese date of conception to determine gender, you will be a boy!

Why Baby Z3?
Last year, we had the misfortune of two early miscarriages. Those were Baby Z and Baby Z2. We remember them, and they are honored in The Book of Life at The Shrine of the Holy Innocents.
