More Photos of Dawson

Here are some pictures Mom & I took of Dawson today. In these he is 6 days old.

We're Home!

John, Dawson, and I got to come home from the hospital on Sunday. We have slowly been adjusting to life with less sleep, a hungry baby, and dirty diapers, but we've been having a lot of fun! We've posted some pictures below for you all to see.

Before leaving our hospital room.

Dawson's Hospital Pictures

You can view Dawson's hospital pictures at the following website: http://www.infantxpress.com/nursery2.php?orgID=20070 by clicking his birth date (May 14) and then "Jessica Z." These pictures were taken when he was about 18 hours old.

Dawson Andrew Zorio Has Arrived!!

John and I are excited to announce that Dawson Andrew Zorio was born on May 14, 2009, at 6:15pm. He weighs 7 pounds 13 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. We are at Huntsville Hospital on the 5th floor.

Here are some pictures of the little guy...

Dad's Birthday & Update on Dawson

Over the weekend my parents and Logan came to visit to celebrate Dad’s birthday. John grilled some yummy steaks, and we had dinner at our house complete with birthday cake for dessert to celebrate. We were all hoping that Dawson would decide to arrive while they were in town, but I guess he decided he didn’t want to share his birthday with Pop. (My parents will be going by Lolly & Pop to Dawson, and John’s parents will be called Grandad and Nana.)
As for an update on Dawson, if he does not decide to come on his own between now and Thursday, May 14th, I will be induced on that day. John and I are crossing our fingers that he comes before then! Dawson will be born at Huntsville Hospital. We will try to put pictures on this website as soon as possible after Dawson is born. When the hospital takes his first picture they post it on their website http://www.infantxpress.com/nursery2.php?orgID=20070 and you just have to search by the date he is born and my name. We will keep everyone updated on his arrival!
