it's a BOY. A boy named Bosco (named after this saint!). We are overjoyed that he's here. Sebastian keeps asking to hold, "her" and "it", Phoebe tolerates him at very best, Theo keeps talking in high pitched squeaks that are indicative of Bosco's size (I think?), Julia keeps calling him Costco, and Grace is feeling really dumb for packing all those adorable hair bows in her bag ... mother's intuition nothing.
He's healthy and happy (as far as we can tell, he hasn't verbalized otherwise) and his delivery was a lot less arduous than Theo and Phoebe's but I'm sure I'll manage to make it out to sound as melodramatic as EVER.
I think he's the spitting image of newborn Sebastian but Simon says he is all Seaton (my side of the family) so we'll just have to agree to disagree for now while his face unscrunches these next few days.
He's got dirty blonde hair, eats hard, sleeps harder, and shares a birthday with North West, apparently.
I'm scared I misspelled every other word and this makes little to no sense because sleep deprivation but I had to blare the e-trumpets to my favorite internet kin real quick. Prepare yourselves for a fat glut of photos upon photos upon photos. I insincerely apologize in advance.
lots of love from my very happy perch in my crazy quiet postpartum room.
Congrats! He's so handsome! I love his name too!!
ReplyDeleteAww he's beautiful!! I love his name! I just met another new baby boy named Bosco too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What a cool name :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for all of the Pattons! Crazy quiet postpartum rooms are half the reason I have more babies in the first place: a definite 2-3 day vacay in my not-so-far-distant future. ...until they kick me out. #viciouspositivefeedbackcycle
ReplyDeleteAnd I looooove the name. #saintsmynamecatholicsmygame

Oh my goodness! Congratulations!!!! What a cute little guy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! He's perfect! I can't wait to hear more and see those baby pictures!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! He is super adorable!! Glad everyone's doing well!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Pattons!!! It always makes my heart happy to hear baby news!
ReplyDeleteSweet boy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh so happy for you all! I had a hunch it was a boy. ;) I love LOVE his name. I hope you're taking advantage of the high-rolling hospital living, and know that the Simon-Geig family is sending you lots of love.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great name! I agree with you; before I even read your account of Simon's remarks, I had decided that he looks like Sebastian. Actually, I think he may favor Simon even more than Bash does, which is impressive since your firstborn son is basically a Simon clone. :) Enjoy that room service, and have a safe recovery!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! You have such cute babies. And I'm loving the name.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! How fitting that last night I was reading phoebes birth story and today I saw boscos announcement! Great name, too, your kids have the coolest names!
ReplyDeleteAw! Love the name! I thought from the picture on instagram that he looked just like Theo, but I can see Sebastian in these ones. Can't wait to see how this little guys personality fits in your family ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! x. Morgan
congratulations! so excited to see more pictures!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! He's adorable. I can practically smell that sweet soft newborn hair through the screen!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! He is precious, and I love his name. So happy for you and the whole Patton gang :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Grace and Simon!!!! He's precious and you are right, looks just like Sebastian. Can't believe you have FIVE kids. SO glad the whole thing went well! And I will wait with baited breath to hear the birth story!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He's adorable!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! So happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Love the name! So happy for your family.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news..and since I have a special devotion to Saint Ignatius, I will not so secretly be thinking of him as Iggy in your upcoming posts! Congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family and God bless you all!

ReplyDeleteNice work, Simon and Grace! He is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCrazy how you can read a blog about hospital bags and a few hours later a birth announcement. He's precious and shares a birthday with my husband, too! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Grace, he is beautiful! Way to go!
ReplyDeletePost post title ever.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Bosco!
Congrats Patton family of 7!!!
"Rhymes with Costco"- love it. Welcome to the world, Bosco! Great name, great hair and great newborn cuteness. Hope you're having a good recovery and that lots of JELL-O consumption is happening in the hospital room (oddly that was my favorite part…).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby and name! Congrats to the whole fam on another baby well done! And, I did get a wee chuckle that an NFP-trained OBGYN's son's initials are BIP (basic infertile pattern)--you crazy Pattons never disappoint. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't know why I feel shocked that he is here "already" (I know. I know. Hit me quick and wish 2 extra weeks on any pregnancy I ever get lucky enough to have!) I adore his name. And can't get enough of fresh baby pics. So please indulge all urges to post. Congrats, Pattons!
ReplyDeleteCongrats
ReplyDeletewhat a joy! reading up on St. Bosco now, what a cool name! sending hugs to my favorite family I don't know in "real" life. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! His name is one of our favorites!! May God Bless you with many straight hours of sleep!
ReplyDeleteOur friends have a little boy named Bosco and they call him "Boss". It is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he's already here! Congratulations
ReplyDeletecongrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I only have one question—did you make it to your massage appointment over the weekend?! Hoping so!
ReplyDeleteLoved the name. I ve known this name forever since I studied in the schools founded by St bosco. I even offered this name to name our second boy, but dh said no... :-( my second boy is named benicio, after an Italian saint called Felipe benizi...
ReplyDeleteCongrats! All the best to you :-)
ReplyDeleteHow common is the name in the US (in catholic circles)? When I lived in Belgium, I never met somebody who'd name their child Bosco or was called Bosco even though of course everybody knew of the name.
I just knew it would be a boy! Congratulations!! His cheeks look so squishable :D
ReplyDeleteMany many many congratulations!! He's so beautiful, and I I love his name!! And he might be all Seaton but his nose is all Simon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He is beautiful! Such a busy and exciting time in The Camp!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Love the name so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy! Congrats and best wishes for healing up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And I clicked on the link for Saint Bosco intending just to skim over and wound up reading the whole narrative, what a sweet and inspiring story! I love the name Bosco even more. Congratulations & excellent baby naming.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love his name!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love the name!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So awesome! And such a great name!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Costco is a great nickname. Hope it sticks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your sweet family! He is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I can't wait to read the birth story! I just finished reading your other four yesterday and you somehow manage to make it all hilarious while still capturing the miracle. I love your attitude :) Congrats again!

Oh Grace, I am SO happy for you! I had been thinking of you lately with you getting so close...and love that HE’S here now :) You are paving the way for all these summer babies! God bless you and Simon and all your beautiful family. Love the name, btw.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He's adorable! Wishing you safe travels and a happy life with all your beautiful children and Simon! Good Luck!!!
