And over these past 2 years it has felt like we were the 3. Like three musketeers or something. Everything in Olive's world is mom, dad, and her. It felt cozy and comfortable and in lots of ways easy.
But now I laugh that we chose the Patterson Three. I knew even then that we weren't always going to be three but it was so overshadowed that I didn't think anything of it. It seemed like so far in the future.
Well apparently, the future is here:
Because we are no longer the Patterson Three. Now we are 4! We are so happy and excited to be adding on to our family. The 3 musketeers were fun, but now it time to grow up a bit. A family of 4 seems like a real family.
We found out that it is a boy. Scott is elated and I am still coming to terms a bit, but happy. Everything looked great at our sonogram and he is growing perfectly.
We debated quite a bit about whether or not to share the name we have chosen. We tried not to tell with Olive's name but slipped and then told anyway. I am almost positive we are going to do the same thing this time because we call him by his name around the house. We chose it immediately and had no question. We really love it!
We have decided to name him Milo Scott Patterson.
(if you are not in love with the name maybe you can come to terms with it by the next time I see you!)

Hooray for Milo! What does it mean?
I love the name Milo! I begged Erik for that name! You're lucky you both agreed :) Congratulations guys!!!
Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! Olive will love having little Milo around! :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Milo Scott Patterson, it just sounds perfect and full of originality. Congrats to you guys, I hope we can figure out a name as cute as yours:)
Milo means mild, peaceful, calm in its German origin but also has Greek ties as in the Venus de Milo and the Greek athlete Milo of Croton (according to the internet). Let's hope he is mild and peaceful, that would be awesome.
Here's to your calm little boy, hopefully he lives up to his namesake :) Love the name! Congrats!! Boys rock, truly. I understand the "come to terms" statement. I had to do the same thing, twice. You will love having a boy.

Congrats guys!!!! Oh Maren I bet you are knitting him the CUTEST hats as we speak! Boys are soooo much fun, in a fabulously different way. Plus he is going to have one stellar big sister in Olive! I am so excited for you!
erik just said,"WHAT! Milo is scott's friend."
i said, "are you mad he didn't name the baby after you?"
"yes."
i think you better reconsider for erik's sake.

Congratulations! Love the name, too.
