First of all - I was SO happy today because Harper had a great day in the nursery!! You have no idea how hard I have prayed today and it was so nice to go check on her twice and neither time was she crying or screaming. I'm so thankful for her sweet nursery workers who love on her! My parents were here today and got to go to church with us and see her in the nursery! And we went to lunch and she was so happy and did so good. OH it was just a great day!
My dad got home from India last night and we were so glad to have him home safe and sound. Tomorrow is his birthday and today is Grandparents day so we were glad to spend time with them! Harper is so blessed to have four wonderful grandparents in her life!
We were playing with her in her room and she started pulling up on me!!! She is just changing and growing so quickly these days!
I told ya'll yesterday about my "faith" dress and then I found out something SO amazing about it and I just have to share because I want to show you how God is at work even when you don't know it and feel like your prayers are not being answered.
But first I feel like I should share that YES - I love having a girl but I used to DREAM of having three boys. I would have been over the moon if we had had a boy. I don't want anyone to think I would have been unhappy with a boy. I dreamed of a boy playing football and I still secretly wish for a boy if we have another child. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy. It's just that I just always had this feeling I would have a daughter. I can't explain it but I just knew.
Anyway..........I think this is unbelievable. When I shared the story of the dress yesterday - the lady who I bought it from off of etsy left me a comment and then she e-mailed me to share something with me and it just gave me chills and made me cry. She has been reading my blog since Harper was born but had no idea she had one time made a dress for her until she saw it yesterday. And she remembered it because when she made it - she felt like God asked her to pray over the dress and to pray for the little girl who would be wearing it. She had no idea that at the the time there WAS no little girl yet or that the little girl would really need prayers at one point. See how God goes ahead and works in such amazing ways???
And finally - look who is starting to crawl!!!! When did she get so big???
So this is my 1000th post!!! WOW - that is a whole lot of rambling from me. So in honor of my 1000th post - I was wondering if you read my blog - I would love to hear from ALL of you - even the lurkers who have never commented - and I would love to hear one thing you are thankful for today! It would be great to start off this week with a LONG list of uplifting praises and I would love to hear from EVERYONE who is reading!!! Ya'll hear from me every day - now I'd like to hear from you!!!!

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 1746 Newer› Newest»I am thankful for my grandchildren. We just came from Grandparent day at Kindgarten. He was so proud to have us there.
I am thankful for my little boy and baby on the way! I am also incredibly thankful for my husband! I love reading your blog! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!
I am thankful for an amazing husband and an amazing little girl! God has blessed me with such an amazing family and amazing friends!
Hey Kelly! I'm a lurker who's been reading your blog for about 4 months now! I always look forward to your next update and the newest Harper pictures. She's just the cutest kid (but you already knew that!)!
Today (and every day) I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. He's my knight in shining armor and I love him so much. I'm also thankful for my Mom and my awesome brother, without whom I wouldn't be who I am today!
Much love to you and your family on this Monday morning!
-Christa
I am grateful that I have to healthy and happy children. Reading your blog everyday makes me feel just a little bit closer to God, your faith is inspiring.
Wow, 1000 posts…that is fantastic! If I had to say one thing I am thankful for today it would be you. I have been reading your blog since just before you announced you were pregnant. I have been struggling with infertility for almost 3 years now. I recently moved very far away from my family and on days that I am feeling my most alone and sad, you always say something in your blog that day to make me remember to put all my troubles in God’s hands. Thank you for reminding me that HE is so much greater than all my troubles and that everything will be okay.
Hi Kelly!
I just adore you, your family, and your blog! Thank you for all that you share. Thank you as well for always being so full of God's light. I love it! The story about the dress left me with goosebumps! God is so amazing!
I know it's a day late, but I am so grateful for my faith and my family.
Love,
Erin Crowder
PS: Your fried okra and bacon wrapped green beans are out of this world! I'm from the South too!!
I guess I'm one of those lurkers! Joined you just after you had Harper. I'm thankful for the husband and kids the Lord has blessed me with!
I have been reading since before Harper was born.
I am so thankful for my immediate and extended family and ALL Of my friends.
Hi Kelly,
I can't remember how I found your blog but I've been reading for a few months now, well...since Harper was in the NICU. I am thankful for my husband and baby girls. Both of my girls are NICU grads as well, five weeks and eight weeks. I'm sure you would agree there's just something so special about NICU babies! Love your blog! Holly from Wisconsin:)
I'm thankful my precious family: three boys, a girl and a wonderful husband!
I am so thankful to have two wonderful healthy babies who love me unconditionally! :) Happy Monday!
I've been reading since Harper was born. I am so thankful to have been raised in a Christian home with a wonderful example by my parents. I am extremely thankful that I married someone who was raised in a Christian home as well!
Congrats on #1000! You always have such wonderful, uplifting posts...that is why I check in daily! Thanks...you are such an inspiration!
I am one of your blog stalkers!! I am leaving you a comment to tell you I love reading about your wonderful family. I love reading your blog!! Maybe now since I have broke the ice and left a comment, I will do so more often!! Btw, I am a blog stalker of your dad's blog too! :o)
I am thankful for the Lord blessing me with a daughter as well. She is very healthy, happy and full of joy. she will be 3 on November 1st and I couldnt have asked for a better child. I am also thankful for you Kelly. You are an inspiration to all mothers out there and the joy and love that you express towards Harper, just blesses me and blesses the Lord I am sure. Lots of love!!
I'm thankful for my family today. I got to travel to see them this weekend and while the driving wasn't fun, the time together with them was absolutely precious.
Hi Kelly,
My name is Betsy and I have been reading your blog since Harper was born. I have a daughter who was born on Jan. 26 so they are very close in age. I am so thankful for my husband and 2 wonderful kids and a God that is bigger than me!!
I have enjoyed reading about God's blessings in your life. I am thankful for God's provisions. He is my provider. Congrats on your 1000th post!
Congrats on your 1000th post and on your precious Harper. God is truly amazing in how he works things out for good. He has blessed me with 3 babies when there was a time when I thought I would have none. I love my LORD!!!!
Greetings from Memphis!
I am thankful for many things, right now the thing that comes to mind is new tires as I drove to work during a monsoon and there was standing water everywhere. I made it safe and sound.
And for healthy children and a great husband who is very much an active father to our kiddos.
Happy Monday!
Hey Kelly, I'm thankful for you always bringing everyone back to Christ!!! Seriously, I think that is why I'm always excited to read your new posts (well, and that cute baby might have something to do with it too). Thanks for being so faithful to give glory to God! You are a great example and a lot of fun too!
I'm a daily reader! Today, I'm thankful for living in a free country where can pray, make decisions for ourselves and worship the Lord without being punished. I'm also thankful for the roof over my head and the things we take for granted everyday.
Love your blog! You truly are an inspiration!
-Ashley
I love your blog; congrats on 1000

I'm so thankful for my family and the newest member, My first grandchild who just turned 1 year old in August: Hadley

Congrats! Been reading for awhile and just love reading about your life:) Grateful for a God who works on our behalf even when we can't see it.
I just love how uplifting and southern your blog is! It's such a joy to read!
Love form Mobile, AL!
Today I am very thankful! I just found out that we will be meeting our little boy (through adoption) for the first time tomorrow. God is Good!
Thank you for all of your encouragement that you provide through your blogs!
Kelly, first of all, I'm thankful for your blog. It's an inspiration to me and you've become a major role model in my walk with Christ. I'm also thankful for my circle of family and friends who love me unconditionally.
I love reading your blog!! I am thankful that I have less than 4 weeks left in my first pregnancy! I can't wait to meet our little surprise!! We tried for 3 years and went through lots of infertility treatments so I am just happy we are about to be parents. I couldn't be happier!
I read all of the time as well! And if I miss, I always catch up! You are such an inspiration as a Godly Christian woman and mother!!
I am thankful for my family and friends and for your sweet blog to uplift me daily!
Today I am so thankful for my sweet 17 month old and for the healthy suprise baby we are expecting in just 11 weeks! I am also thankful to be home from work so I could take Will to his first dentist appointment (16 teeth and no cavities!).
Oh and I have to agree with you - little boys are so sweet!! (but I am hoping and have a feeling this one is a girl!)
I am so grateful to have found you. You are such an inspiration to be a godly wife and mother. Although we're having trouble having a baby of my own, I am so grateful to have found someone who even under the worst circumstances looks to the lord for guidance and puts trust in him. My husband on the other hand, is grateful I am not as crazy as I sound when I talk about you like my real life friend!
the empty grave.
Greetings from Vancouver, Canada
I am grateful for a patient, loving husband and my 5 sweet children.
I have been reading your blog for a few months now, so I missed when Harper was born and will have to go back and read it soon. I am so thankful for my beautiful daughter Ava. She is amazing and like Harper, is growing too quickly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Joanie
I'm sorry that I don't always comment but you are always very uplifting for me! I'm very thankful for my family and friends! They all mean everything to me!
Man, there are so many things I am thankful for. I am thankful for whatever GOD give's me..Most of all my son and hubby:)
I'm a lurker! LOL! I read your blog each day & I just love it. It is always uplifting & puts a smile on my face seeing the pictures of Harper. She is just precious.
I'm thankful for my husband & kids. I love them so much. I just can't imagine life without them.
Thanks for your wonderful blog!
Shaina from Kentucky -- I've been reading ever since, I believe it was Mckmama, who lead us to this site to pray for Harper right after she was born. I've so enjoyed watching her grow!!
When I first started reading, and praying, it was very difficult for me, as my husband and I had just suffered a miscarriage in Nov/Dec, and were praying for another baby... but it was so hard for me to read your blog for some reason! But, I read, and I prayed... and lo and behold, Harper got better, and in February, we found ourselves with another positive pregnancy test!
I'm now 33 weeks pregnant with a darling daughter, and I couldn't be happier. I, too, felt like I would have a girl... and from when I first got pregnant I KNEW it was a girl (and so did everyone else, frighteningly enough). I was petrified it was a boy (not that I wouldn't love a boy, but everyone was just so sure I was carrying a girl!!) but at our 18 week AND 20 week ultrasounds, it was definitely a little lady!
I am so eternally grateful, and so very, very thankful to be giving birth in a short amount of time. I honestly cannot wait, but I'm so thankful to be pregnant, and I know I'll miss it! I have loved (almost! It's hard to love morning sickness) every moment of this pregnancy!!
Grateful to God for 4 little ones (6 and under). I'm grateful for the never-ending noises, piles of laundry, messes, dirty glass, sticky fingers, drooly chins and sleepless nights. Grateful for my salvation and his mercies that are new every morning.
He is Faithful!
Blessings From Maryland,
Jessica
I have been reading for a while. Today I am thankful for our families. Ben and I are so blessed to have families that are Christian examples and support for us!!
HI Kelly,
I read your blog daily and think you have a beautiful family. I found your blog through my friend and former Roommate in college Adrienne. You have met her, she lives in NWA and was at one point on your prayer blog as one of those struggling to become pregnant. She and her husband now have a gorgeous baby boy. I live in New York with my husband who is a Lieutenant with the NYPD. I am a southern girl transplanted in NY. People up here think I am crazy when SEC football starts up, because I YELL at the tv when my hogs are playing! I really enjoy your blog, and hope you continue to do well with it.
Hey, Kelly! Congrats on the 1000th post! Today I'm thankful to be spending a few days in Nashville with my husband and friends at a Youth Leaders Conf.
I have followed since Harper was born and enjoy checking in on your sweet family. I am thankful for mine and my family's good health. Have a great week!!
I appreciate your ability to relate to such a broad spectrum of people. While I do adhere to the same spiritual beliefs as you, I feel comforted by your words and they have opened me up to new possibilities. AND... Harper is absolutely gorgeous!
I have been reading since you went into labor with Harper and Boomama had linked to you...
Today I am thankful for finally being pregnant after almost 2 long years of trying, and almost 13 years since my last one!
I am so thankful for an appointment this past week with a new doctor who was blunt and got right to the point...I truly feel that with her help I will get healthy and maybe even have another baby after 9 years of infertility! God is so good...had I not had the struggles that I did, I would not have seeked her out.
Hi Kelly,
I'm a lurker from MN and have been reading since Harper was born! and have never commented... sorry! Don't even remember how I found you:)! Today, I'm thankul for my wonderful supportive and loving husband and our miracle boy who is almost 7 and in his second week of first grade! We also have 2 babies with Jesus that we never got to hold. We continue to hope for more children to love on this earth. I, too, am thankful that our God loves us so much and is always at work, even when we may not see it yet!
Thanks for being such an inspiration to so many!
I'm thankful that my hubby got a full time tenure track position as an assistant professor of history. With the economy the way it is we were sure he'd have to wait to get a "real" job.
I read your blog every day but do not think I have ever left a comment. I am so thankful every day (not just today) for life! even with allt he ups and downs I am just thankful for the things I have and the life I live and most recently for the sweet baby boy that is growing inside me!!! Due to this world Dec 22nd!! God is so good!!!!
this is the longest list of comments I have ever seen on a blog :) Praise God for all of the Blessings everyone is mentioning.
I am thankful for the Lord blessing me with a man that truly loves me. He is stationed in Corpus Christi, serving for our Coast Guard. Even though he is away from me, he still makes me feel cherished and loved every single day. I love him so much.
I love reading your blog Kelly! You do a great job! Right now I am so thankful for my little girl, Charlotte, and that I get to stay home with her every day!
Another lurker thanking you for allowing us a little window into your life. I originally started "peeking" when Harper was born and I was asked to pray for you all. I stayed because...well, she is totally adorable!
Still praying for you all!
I am from Dallas and I am thankful for my fabulous boyfriend who is the light of my life as well as all of the rain we got this weekend. I am also most thankful for your amazing blog and the encouragement I gain from it everyday! You are such a blessing Miss Kelly!
Hi Kelly,
Hello from Atlanta, GA...a Bulldawg, too :) I started reading your blog a few months ago, when my SIL posted your "Show Us Where You Live" widget on her blog. I am super thankful for my little boy, Charlie, who was born on 05/06/09! I enjoy reading your blog and seeing pictures of Harper and her adventures!
I am so thankful for my wonderful husband and beautiful kids! I am thankful that we own our own business and for me to work from home and be able to be there for my kids when they need me.
I am also thankful for your blog, Kelly, you are such an inspiration!! Keep the great posts coming. I read every one of them!! :)
Hi Kelly,
I am a lurker :) I have been praying for Harper since I first heard of her birth and the complications afterward. I love reading your blog. You are so charming and witty, sweet and sensible. I am thankful this morning for my four children and my wonderful husband. I have been blessed. Your neighbor from Oklahoma :)
Happy 1000th post, Kelly! I started reading your blog shortly after we became FB friends, I guess, but I don't know that I've ever left a comment.
Today I'm thankful that God is sovereign. When things seem out of control, I can rest in the knowledge that He is always in control.
So thankful for my sweet husband and two beautiful baby girls. Thankful for the hope and promise that comes from Jesus Christ. Thankful for you, Kelly, for sharing your inspiring walk.
Loving Life,
Dana
Congrats from Alberta,Canada. I too enjoy your blog.I have been praying for Harper. I am so very blessed with 3 beautifu children from Haiti.I am so thankful that God has blessed me in this journey of motherhood.
I found you around the time you started the "show us where you live" series. Love seeing Harper and hearing about your trials and victories as a mother. I am very thankful for my husband today! I love him so much and am going to go out of my way to show it today!! God has truly given me a wonderful blessing....
I love the blog and your sweet spirit and love for Jesus!
Congrats on #1000! Thats amazing!
I'm having a rough day today is my sons first day of preschool (he's 3), and it has been not only rough on me.. but calling to check on him, he isn't doing so great.. :( So its tough. He was in a day care but now in school and it's a huge transition. My heart is heavy today for him. :(
I am thankful for my wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I am blessed!
Just to name a few . . .
I am thankful that you did Show Us Your Life. I am now helping with the baby showers at our church (which are innumerable at this point -- we've hit 9 pregnant at once a couple times over the last 3 years and our church only runs about 200). I'm loving looking through all the ideas your readers posted.
Also, I'm starting a "Mom's Night Out" at our church to mainly focus on mom's of small children. We'll meet quarterly and have 'guest speakers' (mom's of older children) to help encourage us on how to survive the sleepless nights, mounds of laundry and terrible twos! I'm thankful the Lord burdened me to start this as it will be a great time of refreshing, fellowship & encouragement. (I'm 33 and have 3 kids -- girls almost 5 & 8, boy 2)
Congrats on 1000! What a milestone :) I just love reading about your sweet girl and how far she has come!!!!!!
I am thankful for my babies....although I get stressed having four and everything around the house to take care of I am so thankful I am able to stay home and enjoy life with them..even if it means money is tighter and we have to go without some things. Life is good!
I'm not sure how I even originally found your blog but it is one I keep reading because I love the show us tours..., Harper is just so cute....,and mainly that you remind me that I am not the only one going through something hard and that there are so many others out there going through such harder trials. I didn't have any problem having my 3 beautiful, healthy daughters, no one in my family is dealing with an illness, or death.
So, thank you for helping me to pray for others and get my mind off of my own circumstances and reminding me that God is at work even when I don't see it.
I am thankful that I am pregnant with a healthy baby girl! 24 weeks along and I am so excited.
I have never commented before but I read your blog every day and it really uplifts my life. Thank you for all that you do!
I am so thankful for a merciful God who showers His love upon us as well as a wonderful and healthy family! (and for the ministry your blog provides to so many=)
What an amazing story Kelly! I have been an avid reader of your blog for only the past few months and I love it. You are an amazing person who is truly driven by God. I really wish I would have found you when I was dealing with our infertility and miscarriage, I could really have used your inspiring words and advice back then. Congratulations on your
1000th post, please keep doing what you do, it's a pleasure reading about your daily life.
Karen
I'm a lurker. I've never left a comment, but I've prayed for Harper since my friend Kara (Mills) O. (From OBU) told me about Harper back when Harper was in the NICU. This morning I prayed over the prayer list through my tears. I am so thankful for the health of my family, particularly my sweet little boys.
Hey Kelly. My name is Lindsay and I have been reading your blog for a while now! I just love reading it! It uplifts me everyday. You have such wonderful faith and I notice that I am closer to God since I've been reading your blog. I just hope that someday I can meet you in person! I hope you have a great week! God bless you, Scott, and Harper! Thanks for blogging! :-)
I love reading your blog and feel like I know you! We have several things in common and I feel like we would be friends in real life ;) I'm sure everyone says that... We even have the same granite and backsplash and a few other of the same things in our homes. AND, we have almost moved to Arkansas. Twice. We live in Alabama, root for Auburn whole-heartedly, and vacation in Gulf Shores. I'm thankful for my wonderful family and friends - especially my sweet husband and two beautiful, healthy young boys! Sorry this was long, I know you have a lot to read!
I am so very thankful for my daughter, Mia, who I adopted on June 30th. God has blessed me so much more than I deserve!! Mia is my angel on Earth!!
Angie in TN
Hi Kelly,
I am a regular reader, although I don't usually comment! Your blog and story have really renewed my faith in the power of prayer, and have gotten me back into a regualr routine of reflection.
Today, I am thankful for my family's continued health and the love and support I have from my parent's!!
Coming to you from Little Rock! I have been reading your blog since Harper was born! Happy 1000th post!
My first comment...been a lurker for awhile now. Thankful for my little girl that was born January 6th. Love reading about Harper as they are so close in age. Get ready to chase her all over the house!!
Thanks for the blog!
hey kelly,
i am thankful for my wonderful family!! and thankful for your blog everyday you inspire me to be a better woman!! thanks, kelly
I am thankful for the way God shows us direction for our lives. My husband joined the Navy and will be leaving for Officer Candidate School in 5 weeks. He really felt this was God's calling for him and now the desire of my heart will come to fruition when he gets his first assigment. At that time we will be moving and my career will go from elementary music teacher to stay-at-home. I have longed and prayed about my desire for years-even before my beautiful daughter, Annalise, was born. She is now 2 years and 8 months old.
Just moved to the US from the UK. I'm really thankful for the opportunity to stay at home with my little girl and not have to work. I know everyone doesn't have that choice so I'm truly thankful for it.
I follow your blog and love it. You've inspired me in many ways, just to let you know.
Today I am thankful for a strong healthy body and hope it will be able to provide for my family in the future.
I am reading from California and I am thankful for my wonderful husband!
My husband and I are suffering from severe infertility and are about to go through our second IVF/ICSI cycle in October. Today I am so thankful for my wonderful husband who helps me get through the rough days and for bloggers like you!

I'm a lurker, but I've read since I received a link when Harper was in the hospital.
I'm thankful for my sweet fiance who I'll marry in less that five weeks. Woo hoo!
I am a lurker from Wisconsin. Congratulations on 1000! Keep it up -- I love reading your blog.
Today (like every other day) I am so thankful for my four children.
Hi from Georgia Kelly!! I'm most thankful that God blessed me with the most amazing husband ever! It's been a hard road with our pregnancy losses, but I have the most amazing man by my side that I can't live without!! I am blessed!
I have also been a reader for a couple of months! Love that you are so down to earth and a strong woman of faith. You are an inspiration to so many and how can you not love looking at pictures of precious little Harper everyday? Such a doll! I enjoy watching her grow and being a small town Southern girl who also loves the SEC {Go GAMECOCKS!}, it's nice to know there are other women out there who are crazy about southern food and college football as much as I am :) ha LOVE IT!
May the Lord continue to bless you,
Sandi from SC
Ok, Kelly, I usually just read your blog, but with your request I will share that I am thankful for your blog. I have tons of things I am thankful for, but I wanted you to know that I really appreciate your faithfulness to blogging so regularly.
Saying hello from Texas! I'm so thankful for you and your blog, and for your encouragement. You probably don't remember but I emailed you a while back and you sent the nicest reply that made me feel so much better. Thanks for watching out for us single girls once in a while!
I'm also thankful for God's provision and comfort, it's been a rough few weeks for me but He has brought me through it.
I'm Super Thankful for the Amazing Family God has given me. Have a Great week!!
Just saying HI! I comment from time to time, and I read daily! Love your blog and your sweet spirit!
P.S. I emailed you the Easter Cookie recipe :)
That IS a lot of blogging! I'm SO thankful for my two amazing little boys, Kai and Kale! I LOVE boys and I'm so blessed that they are happy and healthy...it helps that they are so stinkin' cute too:)
Happy 1000th post! I hope I get to that number one day:)
The first day I read your blog was the post where you announce you were pregnant. I had no idea at the time that it had been a struggle but I have read every day since. Love your blog!
And I am thankful that my husband will be returning from Vegas for a business trip tomorrow. He has been gone a week! Yea!
I don't think I say it enough, but I am incredibly blessed to be a wife. Not only that, but thankfully, the Lord has taught me that only HE can give and take away, and I have that sweet reminder each day when I look into the eyes of my sweet 4-month-old boy, Daniel, and my dear child who's awaiting us in Heaven. God is so good, and I'm most thankful to be HIS child.
Hi Kelly! I read your blog daily and absolutely love it for all reasons. I don't think I've commented but a couple of times, but want to say congrats on your 1000th post!
One thing that I am grateful for is my two healthy, beautiful, spirited boys who give me reasons to do the right thing every day.
Hi Kelly,
Writing from Miami. Love your blog! And I look forward to everything Harper is up to!! Today I am thankful for a hubby I just adore and that we have 4 healthy kids (8,6,3, and 9 weeks). They are a handful- that's for sure, but I thank God for them everyday!
Keep writing!
Love,
Michelle
I am a long time lurker as well! My first baby girl was born the day after Harper and we had so many similarities with our labor. Mine was long - 30 plus hours and I started getting a fever so they took her by c-section. I never got fully dialated though. Perry weighed 9 lbs 5 oz so she was big like Harper! She was also "sunny side up" so it was a blessing they took her by c-sec. I enjoy reading your blog and watching Harper's milestones b/c they are the same age and it's so fun having another baby and mom to relate to. I just stopped nursing and I have been fortunate enough to stay home with Perry for almost 8 months. We just moved back to LR from Atlanta, I grew up in Hot Springs and went to Fayetteville. Today I am thankful for my new job that I am starting tomorrow. It will be a good financial move for our family and I am extremely thankful that my mom and sister are going to keep Perry for me! And last but not least, Harper is just beautiful! If you ever want to see Perry, my blog is kathyandtaylorcondrey.blogspot.com
I started reading your blog in June when I saw other posts from Show Us Your Life.
I feel connected to you because I am a born again Christian raised in the Baptist church. My sister lived in Fayetteville when attending her undergrad and post grad work at UofA. She shares all her Hog spirit with our family! She taught us to Call the Hogs!!
I am thankful for my beautiful baby boy that is so healthy. I am also thankful that God gave my husband and me the ability to conceive so easily. ...only took a month. I am blessed because I read your prayer blog and pray for everyone that is trying so hard.
I don't usually comment much because I know you get so many comments anyway! I just do my daily check in.
May the Lord continue to bless you for your beautiful written blog that is a testament of your faith.
I have commented before on your blog. I enjoy reading your blog. I read it almost everyday. It is uplifting and fun to read! :) I am also an Arkansas southern girl, so some of the things that you say crack me up!
I am grateful for my daughter. She was almost six weeks early and we brought her home three days after her birth. God is so good!
jenn
I love reading your blog! Congratulations on your 1000th post!
I am so thankful today that I have a precious husband and 2 beautiful, healthy daughers.
Have and awesome week!
I absolutely love reading your blog! Everyday I look forward to seeing sweet Harper growing and learning.
What I am thankful for is my strong support system. I have the best friends and fmaily a girl could ever ask for.
You are such an encouragement to others dealing with infertility and I love the way you have made it your ministry to pray for others. AND your daughter is adoreable!! My daughter lost her first baby and it was the hardest thing for all of us to go through with her. She has a healthy son who is 10 months old now and we are blessed.
Connie
I am thankfull for my healthy family, and our new house
I read your blog daily, but I don't think I've ever left a comment before. I started reading your blog when I lived in Botswana, but now I'm back in the U.S., and I'm thankful every day to live here!
Checking in from NC...East coast to be exact...best place in the world! :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading your blog. I am thankful for your blog. I know it has made me a stronger christian and I get so excited to see a new post from you to see how God has touched you and Harper.
I am also thankful for my health and the health of my family. We are richly blessed.
May God continue to bless you and may your blog continue to bless others.
I have been reading your blog since before you were pregnant and I honestly don't even know how I stumbled upon it. When you had Harper my husband and I prayed for you so hard - it was the first time that I have prayed so much for somebody I didn't know.
Today I am 27 weeks pregnant with our first child and have been on bedrest for 4 weeks. He could come any day and I am SO THANKFUL for every day that he stays inside and develops. Bedrest is the most difficult thing I have ever dealt with but knowing that God has big plans for this child keeps me here in bed every single day.
Hello! I enjoy reading your blog. Congrats on your 1000th post.
Hello! I enjoy reading your blog. Congrats on your 1000th post.
I love reading your blog! I am thankful for my family..esp my sister today! I was her maid of honor this weekend and it was so special!
I started reading your blog right after Harper was born someone had a link to your site and said please pray for Harper. I was so touched I went back and read your whole blog and I continue to follow your blog every day. It makes me smile seeing Harper's face.
I too knew I would have a little girl and she was my miracle baby. I have had 9 miscarriages since. Her name is Angel and she is 11 now.
I am always thankful for my friends and family. But today I am so thankful for two security guards at a fair that allowed my daughter to have a meet and greet with an up and coming band she really wanted to meet. It was very special and I sing their praises today !!!!!!!!!!!
My husband, my son, and I have been living with my parents for almost 8 months after moving back to my hometown for a new job opportunity for my husband. Through a sweet couple in our church, God has provided us with an awesome home of our own for almost free! We move in a few weeks. I am SOOO thankful for that!
I have a couple! I am so thankful today because (1) I am getting married to the love of my life and I get to go to the Georgia Bridal Show on Sunday as a bride! and (2) my brother and sister-in-law told us last night that they are having their third baby!
Have a great day! Harper looks so precious in that dress!
I am thankful for God's great mercy toward us through Jesus. I am thankful that you are able to proclaim the workings of God to so many people through your blog. I am thankful for life and health and all good things He gives.
I happened upon your blog a few months ago and it is such a blessing! I have two children and my daughter was born 3 months early, so I can totally relate with the NICU stay. Because of God's grace and all the prayers when she was born, she is doing wonderfully today. Thank you for your encouraging words and positive outlook on life. It is so refreshing!
Blessings to you!!
How sweet of you to want so many comments! I am thankful to read your posts that are always so transparent about your prayers for a baby prior to Harper. My husband and I have just started trying for a baby, and I'm so overwhelmed with all the tiny details that must work just right in order for conception. What a Miracle it all is! I'm humbled and in awe, all the while praising God that He is in control. So what am I thankful for? YOU, Kelly Stamps! What a beautiful Godly woman you are!!!!
Hi Kelly-
I've been reading your blog since you found out your were pregnant. You are such an amazing woman of God! I am very thankful to have my precious little boy, Jacob, who is two and blessed to have our second baby boy, Colyn on the way.
I am thankful for a wonderful husband. It will be 10 months tomorrow. I am so blessed.
Congrats on reaching your 1,000'th post! All of them are treasures...so inspiring and beautiful. You're a beacon of light in teh blogging world.
Blessings and hugs for you and your family,
Caroline
I am very blessed with a handsome 10 year old son and recently (4 weeks old) blessed with my own little girl! After 2 miscarriages and then suddendly losing my mother, I thought the world was closing in. But then found out I was pregnant & had a very healthy pregnancy and a beautiful little girl. God is so good!
Okay..since you asked! I am tempted to leave comments a lot, but never have. I started reading three days before Harper was born. A friend of mine had found your blog through her sister-in-laws blog and thought I might know you. I have been reading ever since! (I was a Tri Chi at OBU too.) Your post today just gave me chills. Today and every day I am thankful for my husband, who is a great dad to my two kids and a wonderful partner and friend to share my life with.
I am so thankful for my families health. My 2 beautiful girls are healthy and happy. My husband is loving, wonderful, healthy and happy. And I am healthy and happy! I'm also very thankful for our jobs because so many people do not have any right now.
I love reading your blog Kelly! I'm from Fort Smith, Arkansas!
I started reading your blog right before Harper was born. (And loved it instantly!) Today and every day I am thankful for my two precious kiddos and their awesome daddy! Blessings!
Hey Kelly,
I ran into your blog right after you had Harper. I love reading your candid and happy posts. Harper is an angel and I just love her name. I am thankful for my husband and our two beautiful kiddos~Dylan and Karsen! Congrats on your #1000 post~here's to many more!!
Heather in NC
Haven't been a BIG commenter, so hopefully this doesn't place me in the "lurker" category. LOL.
Today I am thankful for laughter. My daughter's, my husband's, strangers. I sometimes forget to stop and listen to it, but it is the sweetest sound in the whole wide world.
=)
How on earth do you have time to read all of these comments:)!?! I'm a 'lurker' who has been enjoying your blog for a while. I'm so grateful for my hubby and my 2 miracle babies...one handsome boy adopted from Russia and one biological girlie girl! They make life so fun!
Congrats on 1000! I hope there's many more to come :)
I'm grateful that I got to spend lunch with my hubby today. He's a doctor and works long hours so it was a blessing!
Yes, I stalk your blog:) I LOVE the video of Harper crawling, I cheered for her as I watched it! As a mom of 2 boys, brave is the mom who has 3. Keep up the great, inspiring work!!
HEY! I read your blog....love it. I am thankful for God's grace and that his mercies are new EVERY morning. :)
I am thankful that you include us in your family's life. I love reading your story and your baby is beautiful. Yay for her crawling!
By the way - I would love to see that woman's etsy store - that dress is beautiful! The baby in it just makes it cuter!
Hi Kelly! I'm so thankful for my sweet baby girl, her lungs are getting stronger every single day and I feel so blessed that God chose me to be her mommy!!
I just wanted to say that I am thankful for your blog. Your blog inspires me to be a better christian, mother, and wife. I think you are an amazing woman and I look forward to reading your blog daily.
Hey Kelly! Happy 1000th post! I'm thankful for so many things, but today I VERY thankful for my sweet husband. The Lord has done some amazing things in his life and it is incredible watching him mature spiritually. It wasn't always like that for us and that's why I'm so thankful for Eric today.
I am thankful for my wonderful family and all the blessings they give me daily.
Hi from South Carolina!
I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband, and that we are both healthy and happy. We have been trying to get pregnant for a year now, and while I know that a year is a drop in the bucket compared to how long some have waited (and how long we may still have to go), I am so grateful that there are wonderful people out there like you who are praying for me even though they don't even know me!
BTW, the SEC is the best conference in the country, we ALWAYS dress up for games, and I'm sorry y'all are playing your 2nd favorite team next weekend, but I have to say it - GOOOO DAWGS!
I have never commented but what a momentous occasion to do so. I love your blog and try to read it daily. I am thankful for my three sweet children and a wonderful husband-four very precious gifts from God.
I am so thankful for God, my wonderful husband, and my very sweet and healthy baby girl. I love to read about you and your family. Happy blogging!!
I've been reading your blog for a long time and I just love it. Your words are so inspiring and I love your recipes, too! I make the meat cupcakes all the time...mmmm SO good! :) I am from Iowa and I am mommy to a 2 1/2 year old son who was born with a congenital heart defect. I, too, had struggles getting pregnant and ended up doing IVF. I am so thankful for my little boy!
Jen
I am thankful for my FAMILY!!! Every day of my life I am blessed to have grown up with a family and now have a close family of my own. Being 37 I now realize that what I have always taken for granted (family) is not necessarily the "norm" for everyone. How thankful I am to serve a God such as ours that He would bless me with these people in my life!!!
Kelly, love your blog and thank you for taking the time to share with us each day. I think if we lived close, we'd be friends :)
I am thankful for my four handsome and healthy boys and fabulous husband. I have an awesome life! I am also thankful for "friends" like you that I get to follow along on blogs and share a love for the Lord.
Thank YOU!!
I don't think I've ever left a comment...although I did email you once about a friend's infertility website.
Today I'm thankful for a trustworthy God...that no matter what I'm going through, He is well able and has my good in mind. Job 42:2 "I know You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be thwarted."
Congratulations on your 1000th post!

Before I came to comment, I thought, "That would be SO cool if she got 1000 comments on her 1000th post" and there are over 1300 comments already! I'm a "lurker", but had to come out and leave a comment on your 1000th post :o)
I am thankful for LOTS of things, but since I am posting a comment on a "blog", I will say that I'm thankful for the friends that I have made through the "blogging world".
Happy 1000th post!
I've been reading your blog since Harper was born, but I'm not much of a commenter. :) Today I am thankful for my husband's job, even when it takes him away from us (he's in the Navy). His job allows me to stay home with our three boys, and for that I am extremely grateful.
hi kelly! i have been reading your blog for a month or so and love hearing about your life and the pictures of your beautiful little girl! i have never commented but since you asked!:) i am thankful for my family because they are always there for me and understand me!
Im so thankful for my kids, my husband and out awesome life together...even in the Valley we give HIM glory... and know that life isn't always a mountaintop experience...but so grateful for everyday!!
Hey Kelly!
I am Kelly from Georgia and love keeping up with your thoughts, family and sweet Harper.
I am truly thankful for the blessing of my health today. I work with transplant patients who are so sick, and I am simply grateful to be alive, breathing and well.
Thanks for being such an encouragement in the lives of so many.
I am so thankful for my baby girl who is turning 18 months on the 19th!! I LOVE your blog...my first comment on here:)
I read your blog pretty much everyday, but I've only left a couple comments. Harper is adorable! I am thankful for my son, who is 15 months and for my twin boys, who are scheduled to arrive next month!! I always said I wanted a house full of boys and God has provided!!
Hi Kelly!
I started reading your blog when I saw a prayer request for Harper on another friends blog, and I have been hooked! I admire you for how open and honest you are with your faith and I enjoy seeing how God is working through you with something so simple as just talking about your life. I can see how you impact so many peoples lives daily!
I am thankful for the two men in my life, my son who is 17 months and my husband, both which have brought so much joy and love into my life. I am thankful for my amazing mother who is the caretaker for my son since I have to work, and I am thankful for God providing me with my dream job of working at my church, all which worked out in His perfect timing!
Many blessings to your family!

The story of the dress gave me chills... how amazing! I am thankful for my happy healthy 18 month old boy. I pray that you have a boy one day... I pray that I have a girl one day!
Thankful for my children, my husband, my family, and that we have a business that affords us the opportunity to work together from home. And so very thankful for Krispy Kreme donuts although I don't allow myself to have them as much as I want. And obviously if we follow your blog, we're thankful for you and yours!
Thank you for sharing your life with us and I have really enjoyed watching Harper grow up!!!
I too saw myself with three little boys...but guess that isn't happening since I'm pregnant with girl #3!!!! You have given me great ideas for bows and clothes!!!
God Bless
I have been reading your blog since Miss Harper was born. I have a Harper myself & she has an identical twin sister. I am thankful for this precious baby growing in my tummy right now... baby #3 arriving in January! I just love your blog, its a nightly read!
I am a stay at home mom in Minnesota. I love reading your blog and have been since Harper's birth. Today I am thankful for my 5 year old daughter who loves riding the school bus to kindergarten and my 2 year old boy who is learning to express his independence! I am very blessed!
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with the virtual world- it is so much fun to read (this is my first comment)!
I have so enjoyed your blog for the last several months! Thank you for your faith and openness. I am overwhelmed with God's blessings, but particularly thank Him for the beautiful weather today!!
She's absolutely adorable!
I just love your blog, you are such an inspiration and I can't wait to check and see what new things Harper is doing. I have a little girl, Bria, who is about a month younger than Harper so it's so much fun to hear all your stories and be able to relate to them.
I am so grateful for the health and safety of my family. Watching the news can really scare me and it reminds me to say a prayer of thanks for our health and happiness.
Hello from Texas!! I am thankful for so many things, but today I am thankful for some sweet time with my precious little boy. Mondays are our days together since his big sister is at school!! The Lord is so good to me, but sometimes it is sweet little moments that can overwhelm me with all that I am blessed with.

I have been reading your blog since Harper was born and spent time in the NICU. I have never commented before because I never feel like anything I say is that important, but since you asked for comments even from the lurkers I thought I would oblige. I love watching Harper grow up. Thank you so much for sharing her with all of us.
I struggled with secondary infertility after my daughter was born in 2004 and after 2 miscarriages we had a healthy baby boy this past April and we are so thankful to have him in our family.
Again thank you for your wonderful blog. I look forward to "visiting" you every day and seeing what is going with your beautiful family.

Kelly, your blog is so inspiring for so many. And, entertaining...I enjoy every post and especially, EVERY PIC of precious Harper!!
I will say that I discovered your blog days before Harper's birth and when things got scary...I must have checked for updates every few hours!! More importantly, it spoke to my faith and renewed it completely. I had fallen a bit out of touch with God and your faith just made mine come alive again.
Thank you for your inspiration and I just adore reading your updates. Congrats on 100 posts...and for being a wonderful Mom to that precious baby girl. She is so darn cute!!
I am very thankful for a loving and forgiving God!
I am thankful that my daughter who is 15 weeks pregnant is feeling better. She was having severe hormonal headaches and sometimes could not get out of bed. Doing much better now.
I am also thankful for people like YOU!
Love your blog Kelly...and your sweet precious Harper!
Linda from Texas.
Hey Kelly, I've been a lurker for a long time, and was just thinking about commenting when I saw your post! I love reading your blog and Harper is so cute! I babysit a baby boy (Eliot) who was also born on 1/16/09, so it's fun to make the comparisons between what they are both doing at their age.
I am so impressed at how often you blog, keep up the awesome work!

I have been reading for a while now and I wanted to say thanks for all your encouragement and your ability to share your life and faith. I am so grateful to my heavenly Father for His grace and redeeming love that restored my marriage and blessed me with two sons. To God be the glory!
Thankful for 2 beautiful little girls God gave us. What a blessing! I smile every night when I go to bed after a day with them.
That is an amazing story Kelly! Today I'm thankful for my family, friends, the opportunity to attend College, a job, and a great guy in my life! I love reading your blog & see pictures of sweet Harper! : )
I am thankful for nice weather, a good roommate and a fun new church!
Thank you for your encouragement, honesty and for sharing your life story...its so nice to know there are other people who are cute and fun that weren't married right out of college!
I am thankful for my family's health. I have always been very healthy and I gave birth to a very healthy baby girl and it's something I always took for granted. But reading your blog I realize what a huge blessing it is.
I am thankful for my precious little boy who will be 2 months old on Thursday. I am thankful that we found a great day care for him (even though I hated to leave him for the first time today).
Hi! I'm one of the "lurkers" lol! Just thought I would tell you to keep up the good work. You keep me entertained!
God Bless!
Hi Kelly!
I haven't ever commented on your blog but I love reading it! You have inspired me to create my own blog. I'm not sure what I will be writing about but I will come up with something! :) Your family is too precious!
Today, I am thankful for my wonderful marriage!
Hi Kelly! I'm Cherish from Alabama. I've been reading your blog for a several months now, but I don't think I have ever commented. Just wanted to say YAY for your 1000th Post and Harper is such a cutie!! I like seeing what all new things Harper is doing because it kinda gives me an idea of what my Vivi Grace will be doing next. She is 5 months old today! And I am so thankful for her and my wonderful husband Adam!
i comment some but I'm a lurking by trade:)
I'm thankful for a Godly husband and 4 beautiful children:)
LOVE your blog! I read everyday, but rarely have the time to comment, as I just had my 3rd baby this summer. I am super thankful that my kids- ages 5, 3, and 3 months are HEALTHY!.
Hey I have read your blog for about 6 months and I love it. You are so uplifting and as a daycare owner I can tell you give Harper time in the nursery she will adjust just as she is doing
Hi Kelly, I'm in Texas. And today I am sooooooo very thankful that I am able to be a stay at home mommy to 3 wonderful children! Sometimes things get crazy, but I love every minute of it!
Never commented, but read you now and again... I'm so thankful to the LORD for my wonderful husband today. He's been having a rough month with his health. He is so patient, kind, generous, humble, and an ambitious hard workin' man and I love him SO!
Hey Kelly! I have been reading your blog for about 6 or 7 months now and absolutely love your honesty and love for the Lord! My highlight of some days is sitting down and reading your blog. I am an Alabama girl(who goes for AUBURN!!!) patiently waiting on God to bless me with a child! I am so very thankful for a God that loves me despite my faults and for a family who always lifts me up in prayer! Thank you for your blog! It is a blessing and a true showing of your love for Christ and for others. My motto in life is Love God, Love people and you fit this to a TEE! You put others before yourself on a daily basis and God will reward you for this! Hope you have a great day and happy 1000 post!

I am a mommy to three miracle girls! After four miscarriages I had my first girl, Rose-5, one more miscarriage and then another miracle baby girl Pearl-3 I had two more miscarriages after Pearl and then in June my tenth pregnancy I had my third healthy baby girl, Violet. I am so thankful to God for my three precious babies and remember the pain of all of my losses and hope and pray that other women will have the hope and faith to keep trying and will someday hold their beautiful children in their arms.

Oh wow, you have already got so many comments. I am so thankful for my baby Kara. She was born a month and a half after Harper. I joined the blog world when my daughter Teresa was stillborn and was led to your site thru Angies blog (Bring the Rain) when Harper was in the hospital. Anyway, I thank God everyday for my precious daughter and always pray that he keeps her safe. Thanks for shareing your life with us...it is fun!
I am thankful for the way you bare testimony of spiritual things in each of your posts. You do this in such a nonjudgmental or critical way so that others that may not share your beliefs still feel comfortable and at the same time learn about your spiritual beliefs. Thanks!
I'm grateful for the tangible faithfulness of God in my life.
Harper is getting so big and I just adore the story about her little dress. God is good all the time.
This week I am thankful for my life and all that the Lord has put in it...but mostly I'm thankful for my life. You see, this time last year, I was three days away from my final chemo treatment! I can't believe a year has passed since the end of that very trying time.
I am grateful today to feel well! After having Pneumonia/bronchitis and a double ear infecton for the last 2 1/2 weeks I finally have done my hair, my makeup and am going to drive somewhere today! I am grateful for 2 beautiful daughters that we thought we would never have! I love you blog and your sweet little Harper! She is cute beyond words!
I have commented on your blog a handful of times, but I read daily.
I came across your blog through a friend before Little Miss Harper was even born. Yous was the first blog that I read that belonged to someone I didn't actually know in real life.
I remember the first time I asked others to pray for your sweet family. It was a group setting. As I began to share the story, there were some that looked at me, smiling and nodding. They too, had been praying for you. Others were confused as to how we could become so attached to someone we had never heard of. I still can't totally answer that, but the fact is, it's still true.
I love following along with you and your family. Know that though you have a happy and healthy little one, all three of you are lifted up in prayer quite often.
Blessings and prayers,
Lindsey
I am thankful for my sweet husband and my fabulous friends!!!! I am turning 40 Wednesday and I am having a hard time with that for some reason! But my husband, with the help of 2 of my best friends, threw me the BEST surprise party Saturday night and I had NO clue!!! They really "got" me!!!! It was a blast! How can turning 40 be bad with a kickoff like that!
I enjoy reading your blog so much! I started reading sometime around the time you got pregnant-can't remember how I stumbled up on it-but I love the fact that you are a young family not afraid to tell people about your love for the Lord!!! Keep it up!!!!
i am thankful that jesus holds my heart. he takes such good care of it!
oh and oreos. very thankful for oreos. mmmmmmmmm! :)
I am thankful that I get to wake up every morning healthy and I am able to love on my family and (soon to be) hubby. Nothing better than kisses from him in the morning! I am also thankful that I am a Child of God and no one can ever take that way from me!
God Bless!
As always, love your blog! I am so thankful for my sweet husband... and for now the only other member of the family- Duncan the schnauzer!
Since you asked :) Your blog is awesome btw. Today I am thankful that we got to share news with our families that I am expecting a baby in April!
That is a beautiful dress on Miss Harper.
Love your blog, Kelly. I was blessed over a year ago by you posting prayers for us on your blog when my water broke and our son was stillborn. We are still fighting this infertilty fight, but are believing that the IVF cycle we are starting today will be the one! Thanks for your encouragement to those of us enduring infertility with the story about the dress. Praying for you all! Keep blogging!

I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life. My beautiful little girl bouncing through the house so happily and my little boy, playing and drawing pictures and loving on me. I am so very thankful for my sweet husband who makes it possible for me to stay home with our beautiful children. My mother, who is such a huge blessing to all of us. She has a heart of pure gold with more love in it than anyone I know. Her love for my children makes me weep with joy. How good God is to us.
I'm thankful for my husband - walks at night, to church and discussions afterwards, hugs, smiles, jokes, winks, and all!
I love reading the candid posts you do!
God bless!
I am one of the uncommenting lurkers!

Saying HELLO from Dubai, UAE!!! Am totally in love with your blog and with precious Harper. Started following when Harper was born and have been attached ever since. Originally from the deep south, I love reading all about your "Southern traditions"
I realize this post was from yesterday but first of all...congrats on your 1000th post!!! Secondly, yesterday being Grandparents Day...I am thankful that my kids were able to talk to all 4 of their Grandparents on the phone and I am EXTREMELY grateful that I was able to talk to my Granny last night. She is my only remaining grandparent but I was fortunate enought to have all 4 of them for 28 1/2 years.
