THE HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL
First baby of new
year not home yet
ByRAYUGHTNER

HAWKINSVILLE
Brayden Andrew Mourning
was the first Houston
County baby of the new
year, born 11:26 a.m. Jan. 1,
but he hasn’t come home
yet.
Brayden weighed 8
pounds, 12 ounces, said his
mom, Margaret Mourning.
His size has helped him, she
said, after trips to hospitals
in Macon and Atlanta
because he swallowed meco
nium.
He’s back in Macon and is
on a ventilator.
“They’re watching him,”
Mourning said.
Brayden is Margaret and
Brian Mourning’s third
child.
“He has a sister and
brother who can’t wait for
him to come home,” Mom
said, Bristen, 7, and BJ
(Brian Jr.), 4.
“We’re praying and wait
ing,” she said.

WARNER ROBINS - Mac
Jared McCain, 1111-A Carl
Vinson Parkway,
Centerville, was arrested
Jan. 7 for the two burglaries
at Bill Hardin Music.
Warner Robins Police Sgt.
Chris Rooks said the stolen
equipment was found in
McCain’s residence as he
was arrested by the
Centerville Police, “and they
called us.”
Rooks said the Centerville
police initially responded to
report of a suspicious vehi
cle. The car turned out to be
stolen, and authorities
traced it to McCain. They
found he also had an open
warrant for failure to
appear and went to his resi
dence.
McCain has been charged
with two counts of burglary
for the Monday and Tuesday
early morning burglaries of
the Watson Boulevard music
store and Centerville police
have also charged McCain
with theft by receiving in

Mourning wanted to
thank all the doctors and
nurses, and everyone who’s
praying for him.
“I don’t even know who
half of them are,” she said.
“Everyone is praying for
him, for us.”
The Mournings go to
Rehoboth Baptist Church.
“Prayer is what gets us
through,” she said.
According to Page Wise on
the Web, sometimes babies
will pass their first stool,
meconium, while they are
still in utero and it can pose
real danger as it then
becomes mixed with amniot
ic fluid and is something the
baby can get into the lungs.
Once meconium has been
aspirated into the lungs, it
can cause a chemical pneu
monia. Babies with meconi
um aspiration will need
antibiotics to treat infection
and oxygen to help them
breathe until they can do so
unassisted.
car, Rooks said.
Warner Robins Police
have recovered the stolen
property taken during the
two burglaries and it will
eventually be returned to
Bill Hardin Music. No addi
tional charges are expected
in the January burglaries.
Officers continue to inves
tigate a Sept. 16, 2004, bur
glary at the music store.
During that incident sus
pects forced their way
through the back concrete
wall of the business and
stole a large quantity of
musical equipment.
The 2004 incident was
linked to the theft of a panel
van and a pickup truck from
Cleghorn Cabinets. Both
vehicles were recovered -
the truck at the Super 8
Motel and the van in Macon.
Anyone with information
about the Bill Hardin bur
glaries is asked to contact
Sgt. Chris Rooks with the
Warner Robins Police
Department Criminal
Investigations Division at
929-6911.
