Bosco Ignatius: one day old

Hell-o.

First things first. THANK YOU for all of your sweet comments and emails yesterday and today. We've been so floored by everyone's kindness. Give yourselves a nice bear hug ..... you deserve it.

Bosco and I are still here in our little babymoon cocoon and loving life in the most luxurious lane. We'll head home in the morning to the land of Super Dad Simone (seriously, he took the kids to the zoo AND Costco today ... the superest), my favorite little wolves, and my not-so-favorite tortoise internet. So! Before I leave you I had had HAD to post a few photos that an incredibly talented fellow residency wife took of Bosco today. Apparently fifth time's a charm when it comes to professional newborn photos because he's the first lucky duck to get 'em. Bosco better recognize his privilege.

Okay, behold her talent that rose above the overcast day that lent to terrible, terrible lighting in the postpartum batcave (a batcave that I love, I must say) ...


Mini Sebastian, you have to admit!!

She looked at some of my newborn photo pins and emulated a similar style ..... so thoughtful and SO appreciated.

Making myself stop at six but don't think I won't find a million other ways to sneak the others into post after post.

Thank you Janel!

Happy (what day is it? oh, doesn't matter) day.

    Awesome pictures!! He's so cute. Seriously felt my uterus flutter. All these babies and pregnancy announcements I keep saying makes me want to move my baby No. 2 plans up. To now. Or yesterday.

    Oh my gosh, take me back to the newborn days! He is ADORABLE!!!! I, too, loved the post partum days in the hospital, with no responsibility, and all of that time with the baby. You are a TROOPER to handle birth and the addition of another child during a MOVE! Enjoy it all, and keep blogging. Your blog is the BEST!!! Congratulations on sweet Bosco!

I am SO very happy for your sweet family and glad everyone is doing great! I kinda want to kiss Bosco's face right off, he's so delicious! Congrat's Patton clan, your family is adored to the fullest by me and by the looks of it, many others as well! Can't wait to see more pics from the Camp!

    Our son (only child currently) was in the NICU for a few weeks. For some reason, they didn't offer newborn photos to us although I know they usually do right before discharge. These are AMAZING! The pants Bosco is wearing are precious! Where are they from?

    He is scrumptious but I have to admit I just keep thinking, "five under five" and praying for you to have superhuman strength and a LOT of help! Especially on your move!

    I love that you love to stay in the hospital for the FULL allotted time. Me, too! Everyone I know wants to hightail it out of there as soon as possible, but I'm all like "can I stay one more day"?

    He is just beautiful!! Congratulations!!! Hope you and the baby as well as Simon and the four big siblings are doing well! I gave birth to my fourth baby last year on June 14th at 1:55 am. So cool that they almost have the same birthday and birth time. Enjoy because we all know how fast the time goes!!
