Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

Connie and Annie went to visit Braden this morning and they called me with great news. Braden now weighs 1 pound 15 ounces! Just one more ounce and he'll be 2 whole pounds. Also, Braden pooped again - on his own with no medication. That lets us know that his bowels and intestines are responding to the formula! Yippee! As promised, we have pictures of Braden's first day out for you. Enjoy!

Annie changed Braden's pamper for the first time.


This is Annie and Braden preparing for Kangaroo Care.


Here, Annie and Braden are making sure the cords and blankets are adjusted.


Once everything was cozy, Braden snuggled up to his mommy.


The wonderful Newborns In Need organization knitted these booties and hat for Braden.


Braden's incubator is well decorated...complete with Dexter Coakley's autograph!


MoMo made a blanket for Braden. Our family calls them "woobies." Braden's woobie covers the top portion of his incubator.


Braden's cousin, Jonathan, mailed him a sweet letter. Jonathan and his brother Jackson cannot wait for Braden to come home!


This is Braden's first Dallas Mavericks basketball jersey. It is far too large for Braden now, but we have a feeling he'll fill it out quickly!
