Mothers' Day Nomination M A R V E L O U S M O M S Moms deserve to be recognized for all the hard work they do. This Mother's Day, we'd like to recognize Cintya Peterson, Enclave resident who was nominated by her son, JT Peterson. Avery Ranch Connects would like to thank her with a gift card to Hand & Stone Massage and Facial. Below is a note from JT to his mom: My mom is the hardest working woman I know. She gets up early to make breakfast. She comes home from work and cooks dinner even when she is tired. She gives me advice about life. I never question if my mom loves me because of all she does. She loves God and is always taking me to church. I love when she texts me scriptures. She prays for me every game. So for all these things that she does, the least I could do is give my mom all the love she deserves. Happy Mother’s Day mom. I love you so much! Your son, JT Peterson Avery Ranch Connects •May 2021 p. 10

I was 32 weeks pregnant with my fourth child - our Whoops baby. I had spent the entire pregnancy on one form of “bed rest” or another. Be it full bed rest, modified bed rest, or whatever. There’s a reason that women have babies when they are young. All of my kids came early, but this was a little too early. But let’s go back to before all of this. Hi! My name is Meghan Eckhardt. I am the wife of Walter Eckhardt Sr, an extremely handsome and successful IT and Ecommerce innovator. And I am also the mother of After my diagnosis, I was told by many doctors, that Julia Matherne, a 20-year-old studying criminal I COULD NOT get pregnant, but to our complete justice at Sam Houston; Walter Jr, a 12-year-old, an surprise, I got PREGNANT!

Thus started my adventures with new no nothing. He had me in there twice a week, and doctors. each time, upped the progesterone. Let me tell you what I learned. Progesterone is the hormone that KEEPS you pregnant, and it also makes you nauseous and vomit. I was 5 weeks pregnant when I arrived at his office and was to remain on progesterone until my placenta came in completely, which is around week 16. At my 16-week appointment, we honestly thought we were “out of the woods” and that this pregnancy would just proceed as any other normal pregnancy. Doctor Solomon came back in, and said, “It’s just a little bit of valvular carcinoma. We need a Biopsy ASAP and then we will go from there.” Avery Ranch Connects • May 2021 p. 11
