rhymes with Costco


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.

  4. So 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

    And I looooove the name. #saintsmynamecatholicsmygame

  84. Oh 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.

    ReplyDelete
  85. What 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!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Congrats!!!! You have such cute babies. And I'm loving the name.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  102. Post post title ever.

    Happy birthday, Bosco!

    Congrats Patton family of 7!!!

    ReplyDelete
  103. "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…).

    ReplyDelete
  104. Beautiful 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. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  105. Wow! 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!

    ReplyDelete
  106. what 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. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  107. Congratulations!!!! His name is one of our favorites!! May God Bless you with many straight hours of sleep!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Our friends have a little boy named Bosco and they call him "Boss". It is so cute.

    ReplyDelete

  110. Congratulations! I only have one question—did you make it to your massage appointment over the weekend?! Hoping so!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Loved 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...

    ReplyDelete
  112. Congrats! All the best to you :-)
    How 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.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I just knew it would be a boy! Congratulations!! His cheeks look so squishable :D

    ReplyDelete
  114. Many 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!
