Guess Who's One? Theo..... that's who!!!

Hey Y'all!!

So I have a non card post but this post is so dear to my heart!! Since 2009, Tim and I have been trying to have a child. I had my first miscarriage in December 2009 and my second miscarriage of June 2010. After my second miscarriage I was done. I did not want to try again. I was so seriously hurt, depressed and angry but something deep inside told me to try again. Tim and I found out that I was pregnant in October 2010. So the whole first trimester I was soooooo nervous. I was nervous because I lost both of my babies in the first trimester. I had my first ultrasound in December 2010.....and to tell you the truth I did not want to go. I was crying and upset until I saw the little one moving ALL over the place. I was the happiest person in the world!! In February 2011 we found out that we were having a BOY!! On July 17, 2011 at 6:10pm (or 18:10...if y'all do military time...lol) Thelonious Ross Nelson was born at University of Colorado Hospital(UCH) in Aurora, Colorado. While I was in labor this day Tim, Me and the fam were watching the Women's Soccer World Cup....Japan vs. USA. USA lost.....boo but Theo was born......a BIG YEA!!!!  We love you Theopo!!! Happy Birthday my big 1 year old toddler!!!






Tim and I are the luckiest parents in the WORLD!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
