Our fifth is here!

We wished to announce that our son was born on [name]June[/name] 10 at 1:00 AM (EST). After much deliberation (and annoyance in the the nurses’ case) we decided on [name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Lawrence[/name]. Actually, my partner’s great uncle, who we had not thought of honoring this time, though he was very close to my partner was named [name]Laurent[/name], and we felt it a nice way of mentioning him. When we went into the hospital, we were stuck between that, [name]Felix[/name] [name]Orion[/name], and [name]Felix[/name] [name]Barnaby[/name]. He, with his dark hair and odd mix of a solemn face and mischievous eyes (or so I insist!) simply did not look like a [name]Felix[/name] to me at all.

(I’m afraid this is very ramble-y, but I can’t help it, I’m still reeling from the fact that I have FIVE children!)

Wow! A little [name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Lawrence[/name], how perfect! Congratulations, and I am so pleased that I was able to suggest a name for your little man that held such meaning for you. I have been waiting for this announcement since we heard you were in labour yesterday, great news, love his name!! :smiley:

Congratulations on five beautifully named kids!

Congratulations! What five fantastically named children!

Congratulations on all your well-named children! Loving them all but SWOONING over [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Georgiana[/name]!

Congrats to you on the birth of your baby son. [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Georgiana[/name], [name]Edgar[/name] [name]Fitzroy[/name] , [name]Horatio[/name] [name]Valentine[/name], [name]Lysander[/name] [name]Bartholomew[/name] and now [name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Lawrence[/name]! If only every child in the world could have such wonderful names!!! All the best, [name]Mischa[/name]!

Oh my goodness, good luck to you!

Have the big kids met their baby brother yet? I’d love to see a picture of them all together!

Congrats on baby [name]Barnaby[/name]! I love that name.

Yes a picture would be great.
Wow what a storybook life you have. 5 kids all very close together AND a job as an investigative journalist. You obviously love a fast paced life. Whizzing through naming your baby over 9 days, and cyber messaging us all about it within the day!
And even energy to spin an anecdotal story too.

If this is a real baby, then good luck to you and you really do have five beautifully named kids, thats for sure.

Congratulations what a beautifully named child!

fits in wonderfully with the sib set too.

I am so happy for you, Congratulations!
