Dawson at 1 Month!

Dawson is already one month old! John & I have had a lot of fun with Dawson this first month, and it has flown by! Dawson went to the doctor on Friday, and he now weighs 9 pounds 10 ounces. He is growing so fast. John & I also celebrated our two year wedding annviersary last week by going out to dinner at The Melting Pot. It is hard to believe we've already been married two years. We've posted some pictures below of Dawson at one month old.

I'm getting sleepy!

Showing off my muscles!

Dawson's First Trip

This week Dawson turned three weeks old, and he went on his first trip. We decided last minute to take Dawson on a short trip to Tennessee to meet his Uncle Logan, Great Grandmother, Great Aunts, and others for the first time. He did great in the car, sleeping the majority of the ride there and back. On our next trip we hope to be able to see the rest of the family that has not met Dawson yet and a lot of our friends. We'll let everyone know when we're planning our next trip. Below are some pictures John & I have taken over the past week.

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.

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!
