7. Lunar Leap Months

The lunar year is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. To balance out the difference, the lunar calendar adds seven lunar months every 19 years, which creates leap years every three years. The official birthday for those born within the first 15 days of a leap month will occur the month prior. Moms who become pregnant within the first 15 days of the leap month will have a designated conception month the previous month as well.
