It's a little lady!!
She's here and she's healthy and she's {mostly} happy.
God is so good.
And unless Simon and I are terrible parents with terrible memories ... she weighs the exact same amount that Julia did when she was born and as far as I can tell they seem to share similar temperaments as well.
The labor and delivery were an odyssey that I hope I'm up to typing about one day soon. Okay, that sounds dramatic and maybe I should type on more than five minutes of sleep. Let's just say she was even more stubborn than Theo was about making her way out into the big bad world.
ANYWAY.
We are overjoyed ...
My favorite favorite photos of Simon are the ones of him holding our brand new babies ...
Okay, fine!!!! One more ...
And please accept my apology in advance for the glut of baby, baby, baby posts in the coming days. Things will eventually get back to serious business as usual one day very soon.
But! Up next ... Phoebe meets her siblings. Bait those eyeballs. It's bound to be fascinating for ... the grandparents. And the masses, I'm sure.
Congratulations, Pattons! She's gorgeous -- but you knew that. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Congrats!!! So exciting. I bet little J and everyone is THRILLED.
ReplyDeleteYay baby! Congrats to all of you...and I LOVE the name. Your baby name post was well worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!!! No 3 more weeks for you, huh? Congratulations! I am so happy for you and Simon! Watch out, Julia, she is pretty gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you, Simon, and the rest of your campers! I'll bet Julia is thrilled to have a sister:)
ReplyDeleteYAY YAY YAY!!! Congratulations!!! I am so happy for your beautiful family! She is gorgeous, of course. Can't wait for more photos (and the birth story, of course ;) ... prayers for you as you recover and adjust!
ReplyDeleteYEAH! Great job momma, she is BEAUTIFUL! So excited for ya'll! Can't wait to see and hear more!

ReplyDeletecongrats you crazy 6!
Congratulations super mom! What a great new addition to your clan! You all look so happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby and name!! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Grace! She is the sweetest little thing. Nerd alert: she was born on Shakespeare's birthday! And can enjoy her moniker in "As You Like It" for-ev-uh. A future as an English teacher? :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I'm so, so happy for you guys! And I love the name! And you freaking better inundate us with baby posts or I will stop reading your blog forever. (Ok, I mean, not forever, but for sure for like half a day. Self control is not really my "thing".) She's beautiful and you guys are beautiful and I'm so glad she came when Simon was home. YAY! Praise the Lord!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She's perfect and you and Simon look great too. :)
ReplyDeleteI was super thrilled to be able to give my oldest (girl) a baby sister last October. She was angry instead, because her sister's twin was another brother, and not also a sister. You can never win. Hopefully Julia will be happy, but just in case she's more like meh-you could have done better, well, you won't be the first mom to fail in that department.
She arrived!! And it's a she!!! I'm so happy for your little family AND I don't even know you! #slightlyembarrassed #Congratulationstimesamillion
ReplyDeletePerfection! God bless all you Pattons!
ReplyDeleteOh congratulations! I'm so happy for you--both for the beautiful baby girl, and ALSO for the fact that you're not pregnant anymore. Personally, I always LOVE that part. Hooray!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Pattons!!! I'm sure Julia is thrilled to have a baby sister :) I am so looking forward to more pictures and stories of meeting the sibs. Bring it on!! :) God bless you and your beautiful family of SIX!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, yay! Congratulations to you and your family! I'll be praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteHOORAY! She is lovely--with a lovely name to match--and I'm so glad your husband wasn't traveling when she came. Congratulations to all of you.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet little lady. Congratulations, God is so good! Oh here comes the baby fever...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Patton family! She is absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove her.
ReplyDeleteShe's SO beautiful! Many blessings to your family! I'm sure there's a long line of suitors/arranged marriages, but I'd like to put in a plug for my 5 week old baby boy (wink wink).
ReplyDeleteAnd the pic with Simon/your commentary...makes me teary...so much joy!
Congrats!!! SO happy she is here! Enjoy your hospication, get some sleep if you can, and make sure Simon sneaks in some moscato for a victory toast.

ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful and so beautiful!! Your family pattern is the same as mine (when we had 4, anyway): girl, boy, boy, girl. Not that I'm rushing you, but according to my pattern, number 5 will be a boy. ;) I'll let you know about number 6 if God blesses us with another, since I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat waiting to hear. ;). Many congratulations, Pattons! She is beautiful and God is, indeed, good.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! Congratulations :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! She is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to keep your lovely family! Best wishes for peace in the days to come...or at least maintained sanity:). I remember the days of four small children, sanity was tough, peace impossible, but the blessings? Oh, they did (still do) abound!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your sweet little blessing!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a Patton in looks--already! Congrats on the baby and congrats on all that labor actually leading to a baby (and not just weeks more of it)!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a wonderful blessing.
