Monday, 10/6/25: He’s here!! Introducing our son

He’s here!!!

Introducing Benjamin Patrick Pauszek born on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 at 10:51 AM. He was 6 pounds, 4.5 ounces of pure perfection and 19 inches long. Matt and I are completely enamored with our little guy and can’t believe we get to be his parents. Obviously we think he is the most perfect baby ever to be born. πŸ™‚ Excited to share some pics from our first few days together!

Love you, Ben!!!
