Update at 1:30
I'm almost to a 5!!!! I am so hungry and I'm dreaming of a sonic route 44 coke with vanilla. But my dr let me have a popsicle. I do believe it was the best popsicle I've ever had. So far I have to say that childbirth is great! I've been praying for about 9 months that God would let my labor be just like this! Thank you for answered prayers!
Update (11 a.m.):
So far - this is so much easier than I imagined. Thank you to the inventor of the epidural. Dr. Hinton broke my water a couple of hours ago and they started the pitocin and I'm having regular contractions but I only know that because I see them on the monitor. :-) They just checked me and I'm dilated to a 2.5 so we are progressing a little bit! I'm in no hurry since I'm in no pain. My mother (a.k.a. the papparazi) has taken at least 700 pictures of me laying in the bed. ha! I hope she saves some room on her card to take pics of Harper. ha!
Me and big daddy! :-)
All the grandparents anxiously awaiting the birth
Laurie came to see me! I was glad to see her!
Good morning from the hospital!!!!!This blog is as much my journal and scrapbook as it is anything so I am hoping to keep a little running memory of this special day! So bear with me!
It's 6:30 and I got my IV in (first one ever) and I'm settled in. They say I should be able to get my epidural in another hour or so! PTL!!!
I didn't sleep 5 minutes last night due to a mix of excitement and terrible cramping I was having.
So far everything is good - we are just hanging out.
The worst thing so far is trying to figure out how on earth to get my hospital gown on. ha!
Update: I got my epidural. It didn't hurt at all and now I don't have to have pain. I love modern medicine!!! My parents are here and Scott's will be here soon. We are just hanging out - taking pictures, checking e-mail, watching TV!
P.S. Please continue to pray for my friend Jenna and her precious baby Brayden who was born on Tuesday. They had to take him to Children's Hospital in Little Rock and he's in critical care. They truly need our prayers.

Can't wait to see Harper picks!! Hang in there... the best is yet to come.

Well, let me know if you figure out the trick to getting a hospital gown on correctly. lol I could never figure those things out!
Seriously, you look great! I'll be praying for you. Good luck and as crazy as this sounds now-enjoy your day!:) There is no sweeter memory than the day your baby was born.
Hi Kelly-
You look great and I agree with the other poster that you will be the nurses favorite. :) I've been praying for you this morning. I'm praying for a safe, quick delivery and that your induction goes well (been induced all 4 times, so I know what it is like).
Hang in there and I'll keep praying,
Rebecca
Good luck!!! It was nice to get up and see your picture at the hospital already.
I will be checking out your blog at work again to see when little Harper comes to this world.
Agata from IL
Spazarama!!! You are going to be a Mama before the next time I see you. I am so excited, and I guess I did not think you were going in until later this morning. You look great, you can not tell you did not sleep any last night. I pray this process is smooth. Thanks for the update.
You are just too cute!! I am so excited today. I'm going to be checking the blog every chance I get.
Also, how is Jenna's little boy doing?
Praying in Georgia!
Becky
I just got teary-eyed looking at your sweet little self sitting in that hospital bed! I said a prayer for you this morning and will be thinking of you all day.
Harper is almost here!!!
Hope you get some rest in the waiting!
Can you believe this day is here?!?!
Look how pretty and all together calm and collected you look!
Hope it Bless.
Yay! Hope all goes smoothly! I will be thinking of you and praying for you and Harper today!
OMG - you still look so great! I hope I look half as good as you when I'm 40.5 weeks pregnant! We are all so excited for you and your husband. Keep us posted! I'll be looking for updates throughout the day! : )
Good luck with everything today! I'm praying for you. Can't wait to
see little Ms. Harper
You look amazing! I don't think I looked half as good on my time at the hospital with baby #1...
Harper's golden birthday will also be her sweet sixteen. I bet she will have an incredible day now, and again in 16 years!
Hope all goes well and you recover speedily!
You don't know me- i live in ohio but i am thinking of and praying for you today. after the epidural, it is smooth sailing! hang in there. the day i delivered my daughter was the best day of my life. i honestly enjoyed the whole process and i know you will too. savor every moment. so excited you get to met harper so soon! :-)
You look great! The first thing I did this morning was look at your blog to see if there were any updates! I will be keeping you and little Harper in my prayers today!
Hey Kelly - I've been following your blog for a while but am just now commenting. Just wanted to let you know I'm praying for you today and look forward to seeing pictures of your sweet little girl. I have an almost 6 month old little girl and was also induced. I was TEN days late...and, let me tell you, I was NOT happy! Hang in there...it will all be worth it very soon!
Kelly,
I am in Fayetteville praying for you today. May God give you the most amazing day as you and your family prepare to meet this beautiful treasure He has been knitting together for the last nine months. I pray that you will be able to get some rest and that your heart will be filled with peace!
Ok...I'm commenting everywhere I see your update! Just to say this girl is praying for you, Harper and a smooth delivery.
Love ya girl!
Fran
Okay, everyone woman will agree with me when I say it should be a sin to look this cute and pretty when you're about to give birth, haha :)
Praying for you today and hang in there, you'll be holding sweet Harper soon enough :)
Oh prayers to you! I am so excited for you and will be checking your blog all day long!!!
Praying for a day filled with sweet memories...And for a healthy baby girl and mama!
Lance and I were just sitting here thinking about you and he said "Is there a live webcam?" and I said that there should be! He said this is the most anticipated baby he could ever remember. We're on pins and needles. So we checked in on the blog and what do you know...there you were, looking like a supermodel pregnant woman. You look like you're about to burst with joy. I love you so much! We're both praying for you today. And for Scott...you know, since he's not like Lance and hopes for Discovery Channel excitement.
You are so cute! I didn't look anyway near that cute when I had my little man! I hope you enjoy this experience so much...it's magic! Praying for you and anxious to meet Miss Harper.
Exciting! I will be thinking and praying for you all day.
Yay, Kelly!! I'm so excited for you and Scott! I will continue to pray that everything goes smoothly and according to God's plan. I will also pray for all of the wonderful nurses and doctors that will be taking care of you!
Please know that your "blogger" friends/family are all wishing we could come and meet Harper (and you, of course) in person...but since we can't...we'll just have to settle for your detailed posts and plenty of pics. of the adorable little peanut!! And yes, I can say that already, because there is NO way that she won't be adorable!!!
Many Blessings and LOTS of LOVE!!
Jess :)
ahh!! i thought about you first this this morning when I woke up and had to check it out right away! i love these updates!! hope you enjoy youre special day to the fullest!!
So excited for you! I live in Ohio and I am expecting my first baby in June. I have been following your blog for a while now and I can tell that you and your husband are very deserving parents. I will be checking back often for the first pics of Harper!
oh, I wish (selfishly) you were at OU Medical Center...so I could walk down the street and come see you! You look fabulous! On my way to Sonic in your honor!
You look so great...love the RL animal print pillowcase!
many, many prayers from OK! k
I am so excited for you :) It was GREAT to wake up to see you were at the hospital. Hang in there, you have all of us praying for you! I cannot wait to check back and see "She is here...!". Wishing you the best... Here is to a swift and easy delivery!!!!
You look so calm, cool and collected. Let the games begin!
Praying for you!
Becky
Kelly,
I delivered our baby boy four weeks ago yesterday, and it was the most incredible experience of my life. I keep telling people that, like my wedding day, I wish I could go back and relive every moment of it again and again! I know you'll feel the same way about January 16.
I am praying that your little miracle's entrance into the world is speedy and smooth!
God bless,
Kyndal
YIPPEE!!!! I have been praying and will continue to!

This post made me laugh because it is SO something I would do...blog my delivery. LOL.
I had BOTH my girls this EXACT SAME WAY -- went to the hospital, got my IV, and then my epidural (although we were cutting it VERY close with Madeline because we realized right before the anesthesiologist came in that I was already past a 9. Yeah.)
Hope you have a wonderful experience!
Good luck today. Remember, getting my IV was the worst part of my entire delivery. I'm hoping the same for you!!!
Good luck today. I hope Harper is here soon!
I have been thinking about you! Praying for you! Nothing more exciting than giving birth - although I am not an epi fan - but I won't get on my bandwagon about how depressing much of the American way of birth is....
You have made me love all things monogrammed. Last night I tried to bribe my youngest daughter with, 'If you have another baby, I will buy it bunches of things monogrammed.' (If she has another baby, I would also get to experience being labor coach again! - Love it!)
Can't wait to see pics of you with Harper in your arms!!
Godd Luck today - I wish you a uneventful delivery. I am a lurker and I have to check your site all day long so I can't wait to see Harper. Your blog has been such a joy and spiritual uplifting for me to read. I pray to God for you and your family today. God Bless you.
Happy Birthday Harper.

Kelly I'm so excited for you!! I kow things will go smoothly today!! I will be praying for you all day!!! Can't wait to see Harper!!! Eat lots of ice chips!!
Rebekah Courtney
Yay Kelly! I'm so excited for you and Scott. I'll be praying for you all day. Can't wait to see pictures of your little miracle!
You look beautiful! Thanks for sharing your special day with us. Praying for you this morning.
I read your blog often (I'm a friend of Julie's) and just want you to know that I woke up this morning at 5:30 and prayed for you and little Harper. I know you are so anxious to see her. I prayed that all would go well for both of you.
I can't wait to see pictures.
God bless,
Valerie
P.S. I also enjoy your dad's blog & love the changing table he made. That is so special!
I am so excited for you! Harper is finally going to make her grand entrance, and I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
I'm saying a little prayer for you and your family that everything goes smoothly. You look great!!! Can't wait to see pictures of the little one!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
Oh my gosh - I'm so excited for you that I could just bust! Enjoy every moment of the day and I can't WAIT to see Harper's first pictures!
Kelly,
Praying for your family today as sweet Harper makes her grand debut! You and Scott will make incredible parents.
Many blessings and congrats!
~Rachel
Praying for you, Harper and your entire family! Hope everything runs smoothly - can't wait see your precious gift from God!!
You look gorgeous!!!!! I met both of my girls with my hair fixed, my makeup on and my earrings in too.
I'm praying for you today. I don't have a Harper, but I do have a Hannah. When she was born she was just crying. When they laid her on my chest, I said, "My precious Hannah, I'm your momma and I have been waiting my whole life to see you." Instantly she stopped crying. I'll never forget those tender first moments and the millions of incredible memories my girls and I have shared. May God grant you the desires of your heart today!
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about the wonderful day you're about to have. It will be something you will never forget! You and your sweet family are in my prayers.~
YEHA! Thinking of you and praying for a quick and safe delivery! Enjoy every minute! I cannot wait to meet your precious little girl! On my home from work now (its 16h00 in South Africa). Will check on you again when I get home!
Sending hugs and kisses across the seas!

haha following your blog just makes me laugh because it reminds me exactly of when my little girl was born! The getting into the hospital gown was the hardest part for me too:) I came out with my head in the boob hole and then couldn't get my head out because it was stuck...haha! You're going to do great! Early Congrats on your sweet baby girl!!!

I am praying for you.
I work across the street, in the glass building under the over pass, if you or Scott need anything email me.
Jerrame woke me up at 4 when he got home this morning and I asked him if Harper was here. He was a little lost. I need to remember to wake up before I start talking...
You look gorgeous, little Mommy!!! Praying for you like crazy!!!

You look absolutely beautiful this morning, Kelly! This will be the most memorable day of your life! Thank you for sharing with us. May God bless your growing family! Cassie in Alabama
Just a tip: during delivery I wasn't able to push well due to the epidural. Finally, a nurse said cough. Sounds crazy, but I was able to feel those muscles and push out a healthy 12 pound beautiful boy.
ENJOY this day that the Lord has given you!
Amanda
I agree - I LOVED my epidural.
Thinking of you this morning! Yay!
I am praying for you in Florida. So excited for you as you will get to hold your precious Harper today. She has a wonderful family (just by reading all your blogs) who will love her so much and teach her about Jesus.
What a joyous day! May it be filled with love, laughter, and the cries of sweet baby Harper to top it off!
YAY...today's the day! You look beautiful and are glowing this morning! Can't wait to see Harper..I pray you have a safe delivery and are holding your precious daughter in your arms soon! Prepare to be overwhelmed..there is NOTHING like looking into the eyes of your baby for the first time!!!

Prayers from SC.
Aren't epidurals the best thing ever?
You look great! Praying for you!
I don't have a blog myself but I've been keeping up with yours through my mother's blog... memeink.blogspot.com.

I am SOOOOO excited to see that you're finally getting to meet Harper!!! You look absolutely wonderful for being where you are right now, hopefully I will look the same on my arrival day! :) Congratulations and good luck!!!!!

yeah for no pain!!! pretty much count me down for not getting any work done today - since i will be checking your blog all day!!
welcome to the greatest day of your life!
How awesome~ You look fabulous!!! The hospital gown wasn't the most 'friendly' piece of clothing, huh! I wore my own gowns after I had Dylan. LOL
Epidurals are awesome!!! I love that you got yours early enough. They didn't do that with my boys, you had to wait so long to get them. But with Shelby they gave to me pretty much right away and I loved it!
Hugs!!!
Kelly, I'm so excited for you! Treasure and enjoy the next few hours and moments...they are the most precious.
I will be praying for you and sweet Harper!
Kelly, only YOU could look so lovely while sitting in a HOSPITAL GOWN!!! HA!
Praying for you today!!!!
I am so excited!!! God is so faithful and good. I remember your first post about you being pregnant and now here you are ready to deliver!! I am praying for you, Scott and Harper.
Hugs,
Melissa
Good morning at the hospital! Glad the epidural went great! Tell everyone hi!
Yay! So excited for you and your family. Am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Harper. I cannot wait to see her precious face!!
Praying for you on this very special day. Blessings today and always,

Matthew 21:22
I said a prayer for you, Scott and Harper when I woke up to feed Lane at 6 this morning! Loving the family blog scrapbooking that's going on!
Hey Kelly, you look great! I will be praying for you today.
Will be checking in frequently on you. Praying everything goes perfectly. I remember this day for me over 5 years ago. The best day of my life up until that point.
You cannot even IMAGINE the love you'll feel when you see that sweet face!
I am so excited for you Kelly!!! You will be in my prayers today!!!
We are so excited!!
You will be in our prayers!!!
Praying for you guys today! You will have so much fun today! Getting the epidural truly makes the birthing experience wonderful!! I can't wait to see pictures of Harper!
Count me in for getting nothing done today also!! Good thing the computer is beside the ironing board (I might be a little productive!!)
I am so excited for the Stamps' family (and in-laws) today....such a wonderful life-changing event that we are so in need of in todays' world!! Treasure every moment......
I have a son going to college next year (and, thankfully, a 13-yr-old daughter at home). Seems like just yesterday I gave birth to him..... what I wouldn't give to have everything documented on a "blog" like you are doing!!
Praying for you, Scott, and Harper for a glorious day of beginnings!!
Blessings from Va. Beach,
Susan
Good for you, girl! I was induced for both of my children and had the epidural by the time I was 3cm dialated. That's totally the way to do it! You are in my thoughts today - lots of prayers coming your way!
I woke up thinking about you guys!! I hope that everything goes as smoothly as it seems to be going so far! Yeah for epidurals!!! I know that I won't get any work done today because I will be checking your blog all day for updates!! Can't wait to see sweet little Harper's face!
When I woke up this morning at 5:17 (to roll over, not get up!lol) I thought about you! I think your on everyone's mind in blog land. I'm so happy your pain free!
I didn't get an epidural and trying to push Logan out for over 4 hours...well, we won't get into that! Just think in a few hours your going to be a M-O-M-M-Y!! That will become your favorite name :o) Hugs
I am so, so, SO excited for you, Kelly. I am praying for such a smooth delivery. I can't wait to "meet" Miss Harper.
Love,
Meg
Good luck to you Kelly....you're in my prayers. Can't wait to hear the news about Harper's birth!
Updates???????
Can you believe the day is here! You look so gorgeous and happy and you're gonna be holding that beautiful bundle in a very short time! So, so thrilled for you both...can't wait for the next update.
I was NOT a fan of those hospital gowns when I gave birth. ;)
Go GIRL! Loving me an epidural!!
I have been praying for you all morning! I was in your shoes 17 days ago and remember all the emotions that this day brings. I will continue to pray for you today and can't wait to see pictures.

Praying for you today!
Yipee..won't be long now!! You look amazing..and glad the IV and epid. went well. Round here they don't give it to you before you start hurting.
I pray all goes well!
I hope you have an external harddrive for your computer so you don't lose any of this!!
Yay! I cannot wait to see baby Harper! Good luck and congratulations! I will be praying for y'all throughout the day!

Becky (Georgia)
I jumped right out of bed this morning, so excited because I knew Harper was going to be born today. Kelly, you would think I was expecting my first Grandchild. I am just beside myself. I love babies!!! I would have had 100 if my husband would have agreed. I just loved being pregnant! You look marvelous!!! You are just radiant. I am still praying for you and your whole family. Your Mom and Dad are so precious! I love reading their blogs too. I don't work on Friday, so I am patiently watching the computer screen for updates!!!!
If I don't get anything done today, who cares? Love & blessings!
YEA, Kelly! I woke up at 430 this morning because I couldn't sleep and as I was folding a basket of Amelia's clothes, I was thinking about you and how I doubted you were getting any sleep at all last night! :o) Praying for y'all!!
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE LITTLE MISS SWEET, PRECIOUS, BLESSED HARPER!!!

Thanks for the updates! I've been thinking about you all morning. Looks like you have a lot of bloggers waiting to see Harper too!:)
You look fabulous!! I am so excited for you!! I'll be checking in during the day...what a nice cold, cold day to be snug as a bug in the hospital about to have your little baby girl!! And then you get to hibernate...lucky you!! I told my husband that if/when we have another one, I want to plan to have it in the winter so I have an excuse to hibernate and not come out!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Oh, and your Daddy is so sweet to do his daily Bible reading post...I totally would have understood if he had skipped today...what an awesome man!!
I will be praying for you and little Harper! You look beautiful!
