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.

I just found your blog from Lulu's blog. You are probably the cutest "in labor" mama I have ever seen! Seriously, you look great!! I remember when I was in labor...and I did not look so hot.
Congratulations and I love the name Harper. My lil guy's name is Parker! Similar. :)
I look forward to following your blog and seeing pics of your new baby girl!

Hey girl! I was so excited to see you in the hospital this morning (you don't say that every day, LOL!!) We got out work because schools were cancelled today because it's cold, so that means I an be on here checking on Harper's arrival throughout the day! Hang in there, I know you're doing great!
Oh, Kelly! If I'm this excited, what must YOU be like?!!! I kept checking your blog from work today (sort of against office policy, so pray I won't get the sack!!) and am like a hen on a hot griddle with impatience and excitement!! Praying very much for you and Harper - and Scott too!
Grace

Wow! Look at all the comments! I got really excited this morning knowing you were going to meet Harper today! I do not have any children yet..but everything you have done in preparation for the hospital has opened my eyes.

What a lucky little girl Harper is to have her parents and both sets of grandparents so over the moon to meet her! You look fabulous - the excitement in your face is incredible! Enjoy this day - I've said a prayer for your sweet baby girl, and can't wait to see her!
Best wishes from Chicago -
Kelly
You look radiant!
Girl, you are looking fabulous!!!! Keep the updates coming! It won't be long now until we get the "I'm pushing" update!!!!
Hilarious that you have lipstick and peal earrings on! True Southern girl, I love it!
(And yeah, I did that, too. Although, can't remember exactly about the earrings.)
YAY! Your little girl will be here soon! Praying for you as you wait and begin the final process to bring Harper into your arms.
Elyse
P.S. Have someone willing and waiting to run and get you your Sonic coke with vanilla as soon as you deliver!
You look beautiful, you are glowing! I also LLLooovvveeddd the birth of my children, especially my first daughter! I am so glad you are enjoying it-that is how it is supposed to be, especially for you! God is so good, and you are so deserving. I can't wait to se more pictures!
Still praying in California!
Sounds and looks like you are doing REALLY well, Kelly! I'm glad you are as comfortable as you are. That is a big blessing! How exciting that you will meet your daughter in a few more hours! Do treasure that time and soak it up! There is nothing like it in the whole world!
My labor was just like that- I could have been doing my nails right up until they put my baby in my arms. Ha ha! Thank you so much for "live blogging" your delivery. You are too cute! Harper has the biggest extended family ever- 1000s of "Internet Aunts" praying for you both! You were my first thought this morning at 6:30 AM and I have been praying for you ever since. What a joyful, happy day in which to welcome precious Harper into the world- surrounded by love. May her life always be blessed!
Hi Kelly- I am praying for you and hope everything goes smoothly. You must be the most put together/beautiful woman in labor I have ever seen....maybe I should consider an epidural for my next one....hmmmmmmmm Blessings-Kristina

This is the most thrilling blog I've read today! Yay, Harper!

You GO with your big 5 and your yummy popsicle!!!!
And girl - the depths of my love for the fact that you are blogging while baby-ing cannot be measured! :-) Love ya!
Hey Kelly! I have been reading your blog for the past couple of months, and you & your family have been in my prayers! Good luck today! I had a baby in October and went from a 5 to 10 in 30 mins! So hopefully it will go fast for you too! You are in my prayers!
pearl earrings and all. You are SO CUTE
Your hair and makeup look fabulous! ;) You look like a million bucks!
Your labor reminds me of mine! I absolutely loved giving birth! Keep up the good work! It won't be long now!
Kelly,
I am so very excited for you and your family today. This is going to be such a magical day for you!
Thank you for always watching out and praying for everyone else. You are a true inspiration!
Harper is going to be just perfect and we can't wait to meet her!
You are looking too good to be in labor!!! Why, in the pictures of my labor, do I look like I've just woken up (bad hair, bad makeup, etc.)? Good luck and congrats!!!!
Jen Averitt
You look way to pretty to be in labor!
hang in there! the worst is over! ohh and I wish I looked that good the day I gave birth! you look great!
I remember ice chips tasting SOOOOO good when I had Rhett. Then I was so hungry afterward and Mom brought me a butterscotch concrete from Shakey's and it tasted like a cup of heaven! :) Hope things continue to go well! You look great--your hair and make-up look perfect! :) After I finally had Rhett, I remember asking if my mascara was smeared and Dr. Simmons laughed and said, did I just hear you ask if your mascara looked okay!?!? Your family takes as many pictures as our family--you have to do your best to be prepared for them! ha! Hurry up, Harper--I can't wait to see what you look like--we've all waited so long!!!
Good luck! You sure look well rested and beautiful for not getting any sleep!!! Everthing will go well! What a blessing!
I love all your blog updates but I keep refreshing your page obsessively today waiting for "She's here!!" and for what I'm sure will be her GORGEOUS first pictures!! And I can only hope to look as beautiful as you do on the day my child is born - I am totally with you on the gray hair thing :) and wanting to have perfectly colored hair for all those hospital pics. Most of all, as a big ol' Southern belle myself, I very much appreciate your pearl earrings in your pictures today!! Best of luck the rest of the afternoon and I'm praying for your new & extended family! Harper, come soon!! :)
Been praying for you here in TX, we have the same pillowcases BTW!! YOu look great and so happy!
Just as it should be, can't wait to see your baby girl today!
I can't seem to stop checking your website. I get so excited everytime there is another update! You are looking wonderful and I can't believe you have your hair all fixed and your makeup on. You are too cute!!! Can't wait to meet Harper later today!
You continue to amaze me by how calm and peaceful you look! You've given alot of us "blog girls" hope for our own beautiful blessings in the future and now you're calming whatever fears we may have over the birthing part. I don't know you outside of "blog land", but I know this much....God has truly blessed so many of our lives by allowing us to stumble upon your blog and the words He sends to us through you. Thank you Kelly, more than you know. May your life be blessed ten times over.
you may just be the prettiest women in labor ever! :) good luck with the birth of your little one..i'll be checking back soon!
You are cracking me up! You look great and I hope you have sweet Harper before it's bedtime here in the UK- or I might get up during the night to check on you! :)
Praying!
I have a minute before finishing up our schooling for today. Hooray! 5 is good!! Praying you get some rest before transition and the final push begins so you can just enjoy!
YAY Kelly,
I'm so glad that things are going so well. You look GREAT!!! Can't wait to see your precious Harper!!
Dawn
Been checking in too... you are so patient! Praying for the delivery to be just as great!
Oh Kelly, I woke up this morning and said "Oh my gosh, Harper is suppose to be born today!" I was so excited. My husband laughs and says..."do you even know this person?" To which I reply, "well, no, but I feel like I do". I pray that your childbirth continues this smoothly. I was induced, and it wasn't fun. I can't wait to see Harper.
Claire
You *might* be the most laid back, chill, relaxed looking mother in labor I have ever seen! lol. Keep up the good work!!!
Just got home and couldn't wait to check on you. I am so excited for you. It's actually the bright spot of my day. I just returned from my grandmother's funeral service.
Yay! She'll be here before you know it! You still look FABULOUS! How can that be? : )
Oh I am just so excited!!!!! I can't wait to see pics of Harper! I'm praying for you!
Yeah! Praying all goes well and can't wait to see Harper. Just a little tid-bit: When I had my son, I was induced the same time of day as you (on a Friday!!) and was exactly 5 cm at the same time as you and my son was born at 8:30pm. But I pushed for 3 hours and I hope you don't have to do that! God Bless you all!
I read about you from BooMama's blog, and wanted to wish you much luck!! God does awesome work, and hopefully it won't be much longer before you are holding his latest miracle in your arms.
P.S. I remember getting a grape popsicle when I was in labor, and it was the BEST popsicle ever! (and I don't even like grape!)
I am glad you are comfortable and look at you with your makeup all in tact. Picture perfect!
Hi Kelly,
Just "met" you today via BooMama. What a great day to have a baby (it's my birthday)! :)
Anyway, I've been poking around on your blog a bit and found out we have a lot in common...both have a little girl (well, you almost), both been married 5 years, and I'm sure there are others I've forgotten. Wanted to wish you a happy birthing process, and I hope Harper arrives quickly and in good humor! :)
kelly~ you look amazing. i only hope to look that great come august:) can't wait to see harper!!
praying for you today!!!
i love your pictures and have been checking all day to see the updates and cant wait to see the next picture with hopefully harper in them!! yay!! its so exciting!!!
Oh my gosh! Can I just say how beautiful you look and you are in labor?!?!? Your hair and makeup look great!!! I hope I look as great as you do when I have a baby!!!
Praying for you and little Harper!!!
Hi Kelly! I've been following your blog for awhile now and can't wait to "meet" Harper! And yay for epidurals! I thought I should go the "all natural" route, and after 38 hours, I finally realized okay, not for me, got the epidural, and was SO relieved and it made for a much better experience than it would have been (9lb 12oz baby boy!) So good for you for not putting yourself through that and having a GREAT experience for one of the biggest events in your life!
It has been awhile since I have left a comment but I have loved watching your journey and can't wait to see your precious Harper!
You made me laugh out loud about the gown because I had problems with it also when I went into labor with my daughter.
Good luck today. This is such a special time and I hope you take it all in and etch it in your memory.
Isn't the hunger terrible? I had to snooze just to get my mind off of it. And no popsicles for me! They must really like you. Maybe they you have already started handing out those nurse gifts! I still remember that after Lowrey FINALLY got here (11:46 PM and I was induced at 5:00 AM thank you very much), I loved on her for a while and then I said "DOES ANYONE HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT AROUND HERE???". They made me wait for a while for some reason and I thought I would go nuts. I still remember that I had the best tasting turkey sandwich in the world at 2:30 AM. I'm sure it would not taste that good now, but it was like manna from heaven then. Oh, I'm sure I'm making this worse for you. Sorry. But then you ARE sucking on that popsicle in the picture. All I got were ice chips. It surely can't be long now. I've just discovered that I can look at your mom and dad's blogs, too. It is like a reality show! I'm loving it. Hang in there. I recommend a nap soon. Seriously.
Girl, I can't get over how great you look when you're about to have a baby :) :) This should go do in the record books!!! You look so peaceful :)
I LOVE how you have your hair stratigically placed on your pillow....I did the VERY same thing while in labor with my three!!! Can't have "bed head"!!
GOD BLESS YOU and ENJOY EVERY SECOND with sweet Harper!!!! So VERY excited for you to become a MOMMY!!!! Praying for yall!!!
Love,
Jen
Praying for you and Harper, I hope all goes well! So excited for you, we'll keep checking in :)
Yay! I can't wait to "meet" Harper! =]
Woo-hoo!! You're almost there! I'm so excited for you!!
How is it that you can be in labor and STILL be so stinkin' cute?! :)
I'm so thankful it is going so well. I cannot wait to hear that she is finally here!
Way to go girl !!
You are 1/2 way there !!
Ohhhh noooo !!! That was a couple of hours ago so you are maybe a six or seven by now.
I hope and pray everything continues to go well.
I was a L&D nurse for a lot of years. You are without a doubt the most attractive and relaxed patient I have ever seen.
Hugs
Sher
Kelly you look amazing!! Sounds like things are going good. I have been praying you would have a easy labor like I did. Hang it there! It's so worth it :)
by the way, you are positively glowing!
I am so excited for you and Scott. I keep checking to see if Harper is here yet. Can't wait to see photos!
I am loving the updates!! You look so great Kelly!! I am praying for you and baby Harper!
Been praying throughout the day for you guys! I can't stop thinkin gbaout ya'll and i CAN"T WAIT TO SEE MORE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the day. I said something about you in my blog, hope you don't mind. You look amazing and I can't wait to see photos of your baby girl :)
WOW! you look great. Sounds like everything is progressing just like it should. I can't wait to see that precious baby...good luck and well wishes.
Kelly, I just found your blog today through BooMama's blog...and I love you already! I'm praying for Harper's birth to be fantastic! Praise the Lord for the blessings He's given you!...By the way, I LOVE the idea of bringing monogrammed cookies to the hospital to share with visitors. Brilliant! And I have to tell you that YOU LOOK AMAZING! I did NOT look that great when I was in labor with any of my three kiddos! :-)
Kelly and Family-
I am praying for you today and am so thankful to see that things are going so smoothly for you thus far. God's blessings to all of you and of course to sweet little Harper. She will be in your arms Kelly, any time now. Meredith told me about your friend Jenna and their newborn that is having so many critical issues and is at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Praying for God's healing on him and for that family that is going through so many mixed emotions with the excitement of giving birth, and then the worry and anxiety now. Congrats again and can't wait to see another update!
Amy Talbert
I'm so excited for you!! You are so cute blogging away but what a great record of Harper's birth to have. Good luck!!
I am so excited for updates I can hardly stand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you happen to see one of the "Mommas" on your blog roll is also being induced today? WOW!
We need another update....prayers are with you!
xo,
Shannon
Praying for you in these hours ahead!!
Girl you look so stinking cute!! Amen on the epidural. I got mine in the parking lot. :) I can't wait to "meet" your precious little Harper. This is so fun and exciting!!
XP :)
Aimee
You look so pretty in labor! My sister went from 5 to 10 in like 15 minutes so good luck!
Praying for a safe and smooth delivery! Aren't epidurals just the best!? I can't remember how I came across your blog (maybe from "Baby Bangs"?), but I think it was right after you found out that you were having a girl. Although I live in the Pacific NW, I have a deep and abiding love of all things monogrammed (you know, after Jesus, of course!)....I think that's what caught my eye at first! :) And then today, to read BooMama's "shout out" to you - it just made my day that two of my favorite bloggers "know" each other! :) Can't wait to see pictures of your sweet baby girl!
In His Love,
Sarah Kate in WA state
So excited for you!! Can you believe Harper will be in your arms soon?! Lifting all three of you up! :)
I hope you're either sleeping or pushing!
Good luck today!!! It should be about that time judging by your Dad's blog (yes I'm checking both!!) Praying for you and Harper!
Ugh! I'm getting so anxious!! I just knew she would be here by now!! I guess there's a possibility that she is and yall are just having a ball with her right now!!! Can't wait to see her! And so glad to hear you're in no pain!!!!!!
I keep hitting refresh on your blog because I want to know when this little one arrives!! I can't even imagine how excited you are!
Congratulations! and Happy Birthday, Little Miss Harper!
I would've never guessed you were having a baby, but you told us and you have a baby bump. You look absolutely GREAT!! I was looking pretty rough, but I was in labor for 32 hours and experiencing all sorts of pain even with the epidural. Hope things continue to go well.
No one should look that good in labor!
She is so close to being in your arms now. Can't wait to share in welcoming her to the world! Praying!
I love reading your blog. I'm an older mom with precious adopted children ages 15 and 17. Enjoy each and every day because they grow so very fast. God's richest blessings on you and your sweet family. I can't wait to see a picture of Harper!
I am praying for all of you and I can't wait to see Harper! This is a great day! Another blogging pal Meg from Spicy Magnolia is having her baby now too! This is exciting!
Hi Kelly and Scott! Here's hoping that no updates lately means you are holding your sweet Harper as I type this!!!! Hope everything is well!! Tam *ohio*
Good luck! I love the pillow and you look so pretty! I am so excited for you!

Hi Kelly,
I keep checking to see if your beautiful baby girl has arrived. My husband just asked "Did Kelly and Scott have their baby yet"? It's too funny because he's getting excited too! Our three children are away in college and you are just starting your wonderful journey.
Know that you and Scott and the grandparents are in our thoughts and prayers.
Wishing for a safe delivery and a happy, healthy Harper!
Love,
Margaret, Virginia Beach, VA
I keep checking every couple of hours...it can't be long till that sweetie pie is here!! Hope everything is still going good. You look so cute and it sounds like you are having a great labor. Yay for that!! I'm praying for you! :)
You look so beautiful and rested! checking your blog often - I am so excited!
I know you have a ton of comments to read but I wanted you to know I was thinking and praying for you and your family! We all can't wait to meet little Harper!!! I keep checking your page for updates!
Praying for you and Harper to have an easy 4th quarter. (Sorry, we talk football around here) :) I'm laughing at myself because I have checked your blog at least 7or 8 times today. This might be 9, I'm just not sure anymore.
It is worth it.
Love ya!
Oh. My. Goodness! Harper is already Miss Popularity! I love it!! Best of luck with today! You look like an advertisement for a hospital's labor & deivery! I've been following your blog for a while, and I love it! Can't wait to hear all your stories of the day & see that precious little angel!
Ohhh! I can't wait to hear some new news :D
Praying for that sweet little girl and her Mommy and Daddy. I have enjoyed seeing you "shine" for Jesus on your blog as you journey to Harper!
Love, E
We are praying for you,Scott, and the safe delivery of your new Angel Harper! Can' wait to see her pics.
Cristopher and Nichole Dillard
Yeah I am so excited for you!!!! Happy Birthday Harper :) *Praying for you today* Much love, Becky
I am de-lurking. You are so darn adorable! Congratulations on the birth of Harper! I follow your brother's blog since you sent us there, because he is hilarious and I saw the news that she was born. 9 lbs 12 oz!! Wow, you are a trooper! I'm so happy for you. Being a mother is wonderful. It's a love that is so fierce and primal, you will never experience anything like it. Congratulations!
Yeah! Congrats. I have been following your brother's blog.
Happy Birthday Harper!! I saw the news on your brother's blog and have to give a shot out!!! PTL!! Congrats to you all!!! Tam *ohio*
Congratulations! Can't wait to see her!!
Congrats on Beautiful little girl!!! Wow 9lbs 12oz!!!!
OK, you look fabulous for a woman in labor!!! Leave it to you to make childbirth look good :)
Can't wait to "meet" Harper! You are an amazing woman and it is so exciting to see your prayers answered. So happy for you and Scott and your families!
I just read the update on your dad's blog. I'm prayiing for you and your sweet Harper. Congratulations, Kelly and Scott!
Congratulations Mama and Daddy- I saw the news on your dad's blog!
Kelly, you deserve jewelry for birthing a baby that big as your first! Will be praying for the baby as well as your rest and healing! Welcome to the club! :)
I just read the details on your dad's blog. Praying for you and Scott and Sweet Baby Harper. I hope Kelly, that you got a "push present" for that girl...9lbs 12oz..wow!
Welcome Kelly, to the club of mommies, it's the best thing in the world!
Read your dad's blog. A BIG baby. Praying all is well. Will be praying for all of you.
Just read your Dad's blog and we are praying for your sweet Harper and for you also.
Can't wait to see her precious little face!!!
Kelly, Scott, AND Harper!
Just read the exciting update on your daddy's blog. What a glorious day that the Lord hath made! I AM rejoicing!
And as a side note, Ben (my oldest) was 9lbs. 15oz. at birth so if you need any encouragement, I am your go to woman. The recovery will be long but well worth it (as I know you know). Just give yourself extra time to recover. All you need to do is lay there and hold that baby!
Congratulations! I am VERY thrilled and thankful for Harper's arrival!
And I am praying her breathing picks up! Ben had similar issues and they were resolved quickly. I pray the same is true for you and am trusting the Lord with her!
I am so sorry hon, I am praying for you and your sweet baby.
From Melissa Hudson's Mom & Dad
Know that God IS the GREAT PHYSICIAN and He can do what seems to be impossible. We immediately went to the Father on behalf of You, Kelly, and Harper too. We also are praying for the Daddy and the grandparents too. We will continue ou.r prayers.
GOD BLESS
Sent here by BooMama and on my knees now for beautiful Harper Brown. Oh, how I am praying for you and your precious little girl; she is simply beautiful.
This is my first time visiting your blog, Kelly, I came from Bring the Rain. I'm on my knees in prayer for sweet Harper's full recovery. May the doctors hands be guided by our gracious God in healing all of her breathing difficulties. May He give you peace and comfort during this time. ((Hugs))
I have praid for her.susie harris's daughter maddy~
Oh HE is so good!!!! Still praying!!!
Praying for you and your sweet family from over here in Asheville NC!
Kristina ( a friend of Melissa B's and the Presslers)
As I read your blog I am in awe at how good God is. Here you are beautiful in labor asking for prayer for Brayden only to find out in a few hours you would be in Jenna's same shoes. God is good. He creates the moments in our lives to show us what he can do.
