Fake N' Bake

Beck has been through a lot in the first few days of life, he is really a tough kid though. He always seems to find the good in otherwise difficult situations. He has risky levels of bilirubin and has to be under UV lights all day to get his liver to stop acting a foo'. Over here at the Nelson house, Beck has his own personal tanning salon...

Mom and Dad didn't want Beck to feel bad that he had to wear eye protection... so we showed him how cool it can be and all joined in on the fun.

Beck just getting comfortable.

Dad thinks he looks like an Aquabat or some sort of superhero with his mask on.

Mama's Favorite Picture

I am in love with my little boy!! This is my new favorite picture of Beck, just lounging in his crib taking a nap. I can't get enough of that little angel face!

Going home!

The Nelson Family. Dad living it up on no sleep and Mom still loopy from Percocet. Beck has no idea what he has gotten himself into.

Beck's Hospital Stay

Mom looks like a million bucks... and Beck is pretty cute too.

Beck livens up when Aunt Wendy is in the house (hospital).

Beck meets Aunt Rachael.

Beck's 1st black friend.

The Hospital stay was pretty chill. Beck had visitors, and Nat was doped up on drugs. Daddy's bed was about as good as a pile of rocks... but at least I didn't have to sleep with a ice pack on my crotch.

Beckett's 1st Day

Beckett Andrew Nelson

8 Pounds 7 Ounces

Born March 20th, 2007, at 5:04 a.m.


Natalie went into labor Monday night around 11:00 p.m. She made me run two red lights on the way to the hospital, and I was pretty sure Beck would be born in the front seat of the accord. Boy was I wrong. After an extremely long hour and 1/2 at the hospital Nat was finally able to get her epidural and was then making jokes and having a ball. Beck took a while to come out because his muscles were extremely big and toned. Nat started to push around 2:00 am and Beck was vacuumed out at 5:04 a.m. Beck came into the world with a double cone head and wide open blue eyes.
