Scary Time

After I was home from the hospital, I had to go back there 10 days later. I had a fever and was crying for a long time. Mommy and daddy were really worried and took me to the doctor, then the hospital. They poked me with all sorts of things and attached a bunch of wires to me. I did not like having my IV in because I love to move my arms around and have them up by my face while I'm sleeping.

After 3 nights in the hospital the doctor said we could go home (in time for Christmas!) He said it must have been something viral. I am glad to be out of that hospital crib so my family can love on me. Now I'm at home with mom and dad again and we make sure that people are healthy if they come to visit me. Don't be surprised if they make you put germ stuff on your hands if you stop by to see me!

Introducing.... Me!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Beckett Russell. Mom says people want to know what I'm up to and since she is so tired I'm going to be in charge here. I have a full schedule of eating, pooping and sleeping, so this blog won't be updated daily!

I was born on December 7, 2007 at 4:30p.m. I weighed 8lb 5oz and was 21 inches long, with long fingers and toes. Mommy says I also have Daddy's long legs, which she is thankful for. Daddy was the one that announced "it's a boy" when they pulled me out of mommy's tummy. Mommy said she knew I was a boy when she heard my deep cry. Mommy also said that she went on and on about how beautiful I was, how it was the best day of her life, and how cute daddy looked in scrubs and couldn't he go back to school for something in the medical field?!

Mommy was quick to take pictures of me when we got home. Something about announcements and christmas cards. I was awake at first and then fell asleep. Hey, this being cute stuff wears a boy out!
