Braiden Christopher Dore was born on June 4, 2009 at 10:30 pm at Baptist Downtown. He weighed 4 lbs. 3 oz. and was 16 3/4 inches long. He obviously has his Mommy's personality as he was not patient enough to wait around until July to make his appearance. Braiden remains in the NICU at Wolfson Children's Hospital. I was discharged today and am on the way to recovery. Please keep our little guy in your prayers as he continues to grow! The house already feels empty. We can not get him home quick enough. Here are a bunch of pictures for now. I will do my best to continue to update often.
