Welcome Ethan!

We are pleased to announce the arrival of our perfect baby BOY, Ethan Parker Matus, born October 3, 2011.  He weighed 7 lbs, 2 oz and measured 19.5 inches long.  He joined our family exactly two weeks before his official due date and we are thrilled to have met him slightly ahead of schedule!

The birth didn't go exactly as we had planned, but we know that few things in life go according to plan.  My water broke Sunday morning October 2.  As first time parents we weren't even certain my water had broken so we went up to the hospital just to check... we had a to-do list a mile long and we were convinced we would go in, get checked out, and be on our way to finish our errands.  To our surprise, we would not leave the hospital without our little one!  I was induced Sunday evening at 10:00pm since labor hadn't started on its own and our son was born at 5:40am on Monday.  Troy did get to announce the gender of our baby which was very special and he also got to cut the umbilical cord. 

We are thoroughly enjoying the journey of parenthood and can not imagine life without our sweet little boy!
