Text of the page (random words):
essed with more children after this one so i am truly treasuring this season of creating a new life although my life has never lent itself easily to new transitions so far this one hasn t been bad at all has it been an easy pregnancy yep no morning sickness and the doctor says everything is progressing perfectly my only issue is that my belly is now so large i can barely bend over and forget about shaving my legs it s a lost cause at this point it s so long i told matt i might as well donate it to locks of love lol are you getting nervous about delivery physically no emotionally yes i know when i hold the baby in the hospital and cuddle her in the hospital during that vital mother child bonding time it will hit me like a ton of bricks that no one did that with hannah that for months my baby was alone and had no one to celebrate her birth dress her in cute clothes or even take a picture it s crazy but i think giving birth will make my love for hannie even stronger are you planning a natural childbirth i m having a natural childbirth in that it s natural to take drugs that lessen excruciating pain how s hannah handling things pretty good but not super excited about sharing her things with the newbie i tried taking some old baby clothes of her out of her closet to put in the baby s room and she wasn t happy at this point i am basically smuggling onesies out of there like a mexican drug lord i told her if she gave the baby the quilt from her toddler bed she could go to the store and pick out all new bedding she let that marinate for a few minutes and then slyly says to me i think i ll just wait till my birthday for the bedding so yeah do you feel the baby move all the time like she never stops there are two things that get her really excited graeter s black raspberry chip ice cream and the sound of hannah s voice both get me kicked in the ribs have you been working on the nursery yes here are some pics spoiler alert her name is on the wall so that is her name caroline hope eckert we can t wait to meet our sweet caroline in the eternal words of neil diamond good times never felt so good until then matt erin and hannah posted by minime0910 at 6 31 pm 2 comments thursday november 14 2013 the greatest blessings sometimes the greatest blessings in our lives are unexpected surprises we have an announcement dum dum dum matt and i are expecting a baby i am due in may cue the honeymoon baby jokes no we are not naming him bob marley if it s a boy faq was it planned how did it happen sort of and the usual way the tv in our house was out for a week lol we were planning to start trying in the winter but as my wise office mate says if you want to hear god laugh tell him your plans i ve always said what messes us up most in life is that picture of how things are supposed to be this feels right for us we are excited about the future having said that we were totally shocked when the md confirmed the pregnancy he said do you have any questions and the only one i could think of was can i get my parking validated in the immortal words of the great theologian taylor swift matt loves her not the stakes are high the water s rough but this love is ours what does hannie think she isn t buying it her response babies don t come from bellies mom they come from kazakhstan i tried to explain that sometimes babies come from bellies but she looked horrified and said why would you eat a baby mommy i think she is going to be surprised when we go to the hospital not the airport this time around have you thought about names not too much hannah helpfully suggested gilbert for a boy i believe that is the name of caillou s cat and sunkist for a girl i would love to incorporate hope somewhere in a girl s name after my favorite bible quote and the first thing that popped into my head when i found out the big news jeremiah 29 11 for i know the plans i have for you declares the lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future highs and lows so far highs hearing the heartbeat on the first sonogram literally took my breath away lows not being able to fit into my jeans already funniest moment after staring at the sonogram i confessed to md that i am pretty sure the fetus doesn t appear to have a head or maybe 3 heads it seriously looked like a weird reptile for a while his cheerful response don t worry if it doesn t you will probably get our own show on tlc are you nervous about delivery yes and no i have complete faith in my midwife and doctors and i will be delivering at the best hospital in the area plus i know the end result will be worth it as galileo once said i have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night are you worried about losing your bod yes and no i know it won t be the same i know i won t be rockin the bikini anymore but in the end i chose a beautiful life over a beautiful body how is this journey different from the adoptive process it s love redefined and don t get me started on people commenting on us having one of our own both my children adopted or bio are my own and both are miracles it s weird not having to have a homestudy or completing a dossier or anything i mean you need a license to drive a car or go fishing but they are just going to hand me a baby at the hospital and let me leave with it are you excited we are over the moon babies make love stronger the days longer nights shorter bank accounts smaller homes happier the past forgotten and the future worth living for if you are hands will be full you should see our hearts please say a prayer for the continued health and development of baby eckert for you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother s womb i praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful i know that full well psalm 139 13 14 posted by minime0910 at 6 00 pm 1 comment monday april 8 2013 goin to the chapel i can t believe the wedding is 4 months away i can t wait 4 months from now matt and i will go from being each other s fiance to being spouses a couple of married folks best friends for life the wedding i am looking forward to the wedding planning however that s another story altogether every time someone asks how it is going i say sort of all done and then i looked at our knot checklist first mistake and we have 137 days and 136 things left on the list don t get me wrong i love love love being engaged it is amazing all consuming overwhelming fantastic i am just not very bridal i am so thankful to my 5 wonderful bridesmaids who have gone above and beyond to help me with the planning process 5 lovely women who have helped shaped my past embrace each present and influence my future every moment of my wedding will be better because they have been there were there and will be there some details we are having two showers one is an english high tea planned by 3 of my bridesmaids and one is a wild and crazy couples shower planned by a 4th bridesmaid and an awesome friend neighbor the 5th bridesmaid is planning the destination bachelorette party in chicago i haven t picked out my dresses for the showers yet but there are a few strong contenders i have a soft spot in my wallet for lily pulitzer may she rest in peace last week we got our rings and with them came some very special words which we are incorporating into the ceremony these beautiful rings serve as a physical reminder of the feeling you have in your hearts at this very moment there will be times in life when you will focus on things you have lost things you don t have or things you have not yet accomplished yet as you look at your wedding band let it speak softly of the great gift that you have been given today let it remind you of all that you have in one another let it remind you that no matter how difficult life may seem you always have someone to share it with never again will you walk alone i can t believe it s almost here a year and a half of dating 9 mos of planning a life time dreaming more details something old my dad s rosary will be around my bouquet something new my dress is new something borrowed my headpiece belongs to my bridesmaid ashley i was her moh a few years ago something blue my bridesmaids will be signing the bottom of my shoes with blue sharpie my garter is also blue i can t wait to see matt at the end of the aisle and hear the words of our wonderful priest look at one another and remember this moment in time before this moment you have been many things to one another acquaintance friend companion lover dancing partner even teacher for you have learned much from one another these past few years shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life and things between you will never quite be the same for after today you shall say to the world this is my husband this is my wife i am really trying to keep things in perspective in the midst of blogs and martha stewart weddings it is easy to get caught up in the dress the flowers the invites how to decorate the space of the ceremony as opposed to the ceremony itself i am trying to remember what is really important in a wedding the words the declarations the vow of commitment to the person and to commitment itself i can t wait to be a bride the bride his bride more details we registered at bed bath and beyond and target we wanted ikea why don t they have a registry with a three year old in tow matt wanted to register at bass pro but i nixed that idea it was frankly a painful experience for all matt kept looking longingly at the buffalo wild wings across the street from the mall as i frantically googled what s the point of a table runner the only one who really enjoyed herself was hannah who now asks for a scanner gun anytime we enter a store honeymoon couples swept away jamaica we cannot wait having said that we are traveling during the heart of hurricane season we shall see our stretches of time relaxing will be juxtaposed with adventures into land and sea we ll be snorkeling sailing zip lining through canopies and biking through the jungle most importantly this will be a trip of two best friends learning about each other through placidity and adventure that s all we hope our lives together will be and we are looking forward to beginning this new chapter together in paradise i am already in love with jamaica as they say once you go you know my airport day after wedding shirt the rehearsal dinner will be a bravo hopefully out on the beautiful outdoor patio with bocci ball and white twinkly lights and lots and lots of delicious italian wine i am over the moon excited our last party as single a dinner to celebrate with our wedding party and parents a night of laughter and toasts before the best and busiest day of our lives as i think about my future our future i am reminded that it wasn t always dahlias and sweet peas there were some broken roads that lead me here do i sometimes wish we were high school sweethearts sure do i sometimes wonder why it took a frog or two before my prince sure i took the long way around but here i am did i learn more about me myself and i every step of the way i did what brought me here brought me you what was before makes after so much better couldn t change it wouldn t even try and now back to earth weddings are ridiculously expensive even with both sets of parents helping out what did you all do which came first the budget or the dream the flowers and the candy buffet mock up in different colors i am all about the dyi aspects the late night bridesmaid get togethers and luckily i have some very crafty and generous friends one is doing our cake for just the cost of the supplies a teenage cousin who is very techy offered to video the wedding and reception another awesome friend made all kinds of super cute signs and decorations for the lodge and yet another friend is letting us borrow centerpieces candles candy buffet glassware etc from her wedding last summer did i mention we have amazing friends and family the friendships and the family that we are surrounded by only make our relationship stronger we have been showered with all of the love happiness and support of those we hold nearest and dearest i am truly one of the luckiest women in the world to be held up helped out and loved by so many beautiful strong and inspirational people my village is full and my heart is bursting and of course there is hannah we need to talk about hannah because in the midst of hair trials dress fittings shellac manicures invitation mock ups who is sitting where woes and statement earrings i still have a three year old she is unsure of what is happening and grappling with the reality that her life is changing and no one asked her any advice on this would be more than appreciated i have fear but i also have hope we are starting family counseling this week and our therapist comes highly recommended i am trying not to let our what was get in the way of what s next after all change is what life is all about right such moments of joy and happiness about to come my way our way so many we have already had life is changing forever for the better now on with the show posted by minime0910 at 7 41 pm no comments tuesday january 29 2013 the tides they are a changin i n december i started writing my annual what i learned in 2012 and what i ll do better in 2013 blog i love those blogs i find them cathartic i find them cleansing after all nothing is quite as spiritually purifying as turning over a new leaf and it feels oh so right but then december turned into a really really hard month maybe the hardest ever i tried to blog about it it s not time yet maybe someday or maybe never having said that i should mention i m a big silver linings girl and i did learn a few things 1 matt is a rock i am blessed and lucky more about that later 2 our family and especially our friends are supportive and amazing together we can do hard things 3 god has a plan god has a plan god has a plan but enough about all that here s what has happened since the last time i blogged matt and i got engaged as many of you know my home slice and i have been dating for quite a while on christmas eve he proposed and i said yes my next blog is going to be all funny wedding related stories but patience grasshoppers our wedding is in august we are so excited to begin our happily ever after hannah s health problems have improved many of you know that in august hannah was diagnosed with a mega colon this is a pretty serious issue made even more complicated by the fact that we have absolutely no family history or medical background although she has been bladder trained since age 2 it made her impossible to bowel train at our surgery consult it was suggested that we place her in the hospital for 17 days insert a feeding tube attach electrodes to her colon remove the part that may or may not be working after hearing this news i was hysterical obviously for a child who has already been through serious trauma in her life this i felt th...
