Three

As most of you know, Dianna is pregnant again! The news has filled us with equal parts elation, hope and terror. The good news is there is only good news. The Z3 experiment has been working flawlessly, and to the resolution of what can be determined by a level 2 ultrasound, Z3 has a clean bill of health.

The ultrasound was on October 8th. We wanted to celebrate a healthy child and we feel that we have done that. Z3 is healthy. As we had done for Bryce, we instructed the ultrasound technician to keep Z3's gender a secret and place the perinatal pornography in a card, sealed in an envelope. Although the ambitious plan was to wait and savor Z3's healthiness, I walked in the door on 10/9 to find Dianna grinning ear to ear, followed by an "I love you".

To anyone who wants some money, play poker with my wife. Everything about her is a tell.

"So, I see you opened the card"

-smiling-. "Yeah. I can keep it a secret if you want"

Although I considered how much fun it would be to watch her try to keep this a secret, I figured it would be best for me to learn the same way Dianna did, rather than finding out in an incidental way. So we looked at the card together.



Introducing Trey Lloyd Zeiner. Trey means "three", to honor his big brothers Zane and Bryce. Lloyd is in honor of Dianna's grandfather, Aubrey Loyd Lester. The reason Trey Lloyd has two Ls instead of one as in Papa's name is a long, pedantic one. As a joke, I suggested we spell it Llloyd, but Dianna nixed the idea.

So there you have it. I apparently don't have any X sperm.

Yay Zeiner boys!
