Hello World, I'm Zoe!
Posted by Jess in
Zoë
It's a Girl!
Welcome to life, Zoë Kendall Stratton. We love you so much already.
Zoë was born on Friday, August 24, 2007 at 4:45 AM at the Westerly Hospital in Rhode Island. At birth, she was 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and 19" long, and came out eyes wide open with a full head of hair.
We're all doing great! We got home today, and enjoyed watching Reboot meet her.
It will be a fun journey getting to know each other. I've been getting to know her for the past nine months, she's real now. We walked into the hospital with just the two of us and a duffel bag, and walked out as a family.
Click here for some more pictures are on Flickr, Zoë already has her own album!
Sadly the hospital had no Internet access, and I was sort of limited to what I could do on my Treo. Of course my friend today mentioned that I probably could have hooked it up to my laptop via Bluetooth/EDVO. Who knew?

Congratulations! Enjoy your new family!
Congratulations Matt and Jess and Welcome Zoe!!!
She's gorgeous and you guys look VERY happy! Can't wait to meet little AdminPee at Lotusphere!
Congratulations and Jubilations!!!
Congrats! She's lovely! What a head of hair! Enjoy every second!
She's a "bonny wee bairn" (as we say here in Scotland. It means "She's beautiful").
Congratulations to you both!
Hey she is a real sweetie... Congrats to you both!
Woohoo! Congratulations to all four of you :)
Congratulations! You all look very well and so happy. Have fun and can't wait to meet Zoe in January!
Congrats! Guess girls can be slow sometimes too. ;)
Jess, she spent the last nine months tying up your insides. Now she'll spend the rest of her life wrapping Matt around her finger. :D
Hooray!
She's beautiful!
Congrats to you and Matt. It's an amazing experience.
Congratulations, Matt and Jess! She is so beautiful!
Congratulations to proud mama and papa! Welcome Zoë ! Reserve now for Lotusphere before rollaway cribs are sold out!
Awesome news! Enjoy! I think I found the ! key on my keyboard!
beautiful. just beautiful.
congrats you guys!!!!!!!!
Hurray! Finally! Congrats!
NICE! ...That first time you see your baby face to face ...it's just amazing. Like you say, all of a sudden YOU'RE A FAMILY! wow. The time FLIES by (trust me!) ...so cherish every moment. ...Hey, and cool that you gave her a name with those little dots over the e :)
I'm so happy for you guys. I can just picture Matt singing her to sleep with a stripped down "Rapper's Delight" :-)
And LOVE the umlaut. Very nice...
Congratulations you two.

Congratulations to you both, and looking forward to seeing you in Jan

Congrats you guys!
Figured something must have been up, as Jess wasn't updating Facebook status as regularly.
I love the name! What key combo or code do you use to get the umlaut? I'll have to practice!
-Phil
That's wonderful! Congrats, and wishes for many happy and loving years to come for your extended family. :)
Congrats to Mom, Dad and Zoe. Glad to know everything went OK and everybody is doing fine.
Now off to a life full of fun and (re)discoveries (I ended up lying in the grass with my kids, watching the starts. I haven't done that for 20 years!!!)
Good luck to the whole family.
Congratulations! She's beautiful!
Enjoy every moment, for it flies by fast! It seems only yesterday I was holding my Kiara, and today she started Kindergarten... where did the time go?
My bet on her first words:
"I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop..."
It's about time! Congrats to you both! And remember to use the duckie so you don't cook her in the tub;-)
Congratulations!!!!
I bet this beats petting a car ;)
Yaaaaaayyyy!! She's here! She's here! And she's hairy! (In a good way of course - it would've been a shock to have had a cave girl huh? :) Congratulations to you all. She's beautiful! She'll be a real knock-out!! Matt, I can hear you warning the boyfriends already, "Step AWAY from my girl!!!" I'm jealous, because my youngin' is almost 23 and I LOVED having a baby to hold. It was so much better than a doll - the pee was real, the noises were real, and oh so squishy!! Can't wait to meet her and see you guys again. Florida in winter would be a lovely place to bring a baby, don't you think???
Talk to you soon.
Way to go Mom and Dad!!
Shirley
Congrats, and also extra style points for giving her one of the coolest of all names!

Congratulations!!! This is so exciting for you! Zoe is very fortunate to come into a loving family. And now you can return to your irregularly scheduled activity known as sleep...zzzz.
Congrats you two and welcome to this world, Zoe !

Congratulations to both of you. She is beautiful.

Many congratulations, Jess and Matt. Beautiful daughter, lovely name.
CONGRATS GUYS!! She's so beautiful, Zoe is a wonderful name, I expect great things from her.
Many many congratulations Jess & Matt! Zoe is absolutely beautiful, just perfect! I hope you enjoy your new lives together as a family, am sure you will, and now you have an excuse for regressing back to childhood! Remember, everyone grows up, but it doesn't mean you have to mature! LOL
Much love to you both,
Marion

I've been out of pocket for a couple of weeks so a belated congratulations to you! What a beautiful baby! You must have had a lot of heartburn with all that hair!
Take care!
