This Christmas - I spent many days crying in my car every time I heard Faith Hill's song "A Baby changes everything". I was so nervous and excited about bringing my child home and I knew that our life would never be the same. Little did I know what God had planned for us.
Twenty days ago - we checked into the hospital to deliver our baby girl with visions of what she might look like and anticipation of taking her home. Instead she left on this helicopter with our knowledge that she might not live through the night. Everything that seemed to matter in life - no longer was important. All we wanted was for the baby we had spent years praying that God would give us - would stay with us. A Baby instantly changed every thing for us.
Harper is smiling so big because she found out today that tomorrow we are going to be taking her home!!!!! Twenty days after being told she might not live and that she was very, very critical - we will leave this wonderful hospital with a beautiful, precious, healthy daughter. We have spent the last 20 days being completly overwhelmed by the prayers of THOUSANDS and the love that has outpoured on our little family. We have been amazed at God's healing on her life. We have been humbled by the large number of people who have written us to say their lives have been changed by our story. We have been so thankful that two people who have always been too scared to witness and share our beliefs - have been given the chance to show why our faith is the most important thing in the world to us. A baby Changes Everything!
I got out of the hospital today and drove for the first time in three weeks!!! I just needed a quick break so of course I hit up Sonic happy hour. I haven't worried about how I look or going to Sonic or doing anything besides being with Harper. A baby changes everything.
We had a little photo session with Harper while she was sleeping today! She is doing so great. We switched from scheduled feedings to demand feedings and I nursed this afternoon and it went really well. I think this is going to make her eating so much better. She got to have her nose tube out today. She now has NO tubes, wires, or monitors. It's wonderful!!!!! She is just the best baby. She's so happy. God has blessed us so much!
I can't wait to see the plans that God has for this little girl!
Harper wants to thank you for praying for her and for loving her and for sending her so many precious things! We can't wait to put on her pretty white dress and coat tomorrow and load her up and sleep in our own beds tomorrow night. I'm so thankful for St. Francis in Tulsa. They saved her life - but it was your prayers that made the difference. Our lives will never be the same.P.S. I have had reports of at least three more praises on the Prayer Blog!!! Three more pregnant girls!! Continue to pray for those girls who are waiting for their miracle.

YAY! I've been following your blog for 2 weeks now and have prayed every day for her. Praise God for bringing you all through this! She is just BEAUTIFUL! Enjoy taking her home!
Hooray! I can only imagine how happy you all are to finally be going home. There's nothing better than snuggling inside with a sweet little bundle. She's beautiful.
That is such wonderful news!!! I've never been more excited for someone I've never met than I am right now, for you & your family!!! Harper is absolutely beautiful ... I know everyone thinks their baby is cute, but you really should!!! She is just too cute!! I'll continue to keep her in my prayers as y'all adjust to life at home:)
Yay!
She is so beautiful Kelly, I've never seen such a little baby smile so much!!
You will be great at home, I'm so excited for you guys!
~Jenny
Congratulations!! I'm so glad to see that gorgeous little girl is going HOME!!!
What a blessing she is....she is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I am so glad that you will be taking her home tomorrow. When you start out with such a rough start...it truly does make you realize more than you ever knew...how blessed you truly are (I know because I've been there). Bless your family as you make the journey home tomorrow.
I am so happy you get to go home tomorrow. I will be praying for a safe trip.
Harper's photos are beautiful!!!
Thank God! She's beautiful. Enjoy every minute with her; they don't stay small for long!
I am so happy for you and praying that everything goes great in the transition home. She is a true miracle.
What wonderful news!
All glory be to God! Enjoy that beautiful baby of yours. I will continue to pray that God will watch over Harper and keep her safe from all sickness. What a fighter she is.
Tears of joy!
Kelly - I started reading your blog the night you gave birth to Harper. I have been following closely, and I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am that she will be coming home with you tomorrow! As a former NICU social worker, I know - albeit not firsthand - how overwhelming and just plain scary the NICU can be. The good part, of course, is that the NICU nurses are the best in the world!
Enjoy your first day at home with Harper!
So happy to hear Harper is going home! Hooray for such progress! We'll continue to keep you all in our prayers
Praise Him, from whom all blessings flow!! Have a wonderful, safe trip home and be sure to snuggle with that baby in your bed - it is one of my most favorite memories from when I brought our miracle home!
Praying still,
Lisa Martin
Harper is so precious Kelly and Scott! I'm so excited that y'all are going home tomorrow! Thank you for sharing your sweet family with us and showing us your faith!
I am so excited and happy that you are finally able to bring sweet Harper home. That is just wonderful!! A baby does change everything...and for the better...
Your strength and Faith is a beautiful thing!! I love it!! It has made my Faith grow since I started reading your blog, 15 days ago. I will continue to pray for Harper everyday. Even my little boys (7 & 4) ask how Harper is every day!! God Bless you all!!
This is my first comment on a blog ever! I am so happy for you that Harper is healed and that you get to take her home! She is about the cutest thing I have ever seen. I came across this blog a couple of days ago themcclenahans.blogspot.com and I can't quit thinking about baby Cora. This family needs some prayer warriors and I was hoping you could pass it along. Kelly
So happy for you and your family. She is beautiful. You have been in our thoughts and prayers daily! God is good! Congratulations!
A Mom in RI
This is such wonderful, wonderful news!! I am so happy to see beautiful baby Harper getting ready to get outta there and get home where the real healing begins:)
I experienced something similar this summer- where PRAYERS changed everything. My husband, my baby, was the patient in a hospital for about 60+ days. Nothing is important in life- nothing but Jesus! I would love to share my story, but for now...just know that prayers are continually being lifted for you all and for Harper's brain lining to be healed and her developmental milestones to be made!! I am so excited for you to be home- because there is not better place than home, after "living" between 4 hospital walls. You are amazing and your spirit is contagious! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Love, Wendy in Tampa
She is just gorgeous! Enjoy your homecoming tomorrow. I pray that your transition goes well. Can't wait to see picture of sweet Harper in her own bed!
The picture of her smiling in her sleep says it all! I'm so happy for you and your family, Harper is such a blessed baby to have you in her life!
I am so happy for you and your whole family - congratulations - she is a beautiful little girl
So excited for your family! How great that you guys will get to bring your little angel home! I am so happy for you guys!
We will continue to pray and love Harper!!!
Praise the Lord! What incredible, wonderful, amazing news! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, and I MUST have one of those adorable hats with the bow on it. Could you hook me up with info on how to get it? Thanks!!bethanymulder@yahoo.com
I was SOOO hoping this would be the news today!!!! What a PRAISE! I'm sure these have been the absolute longest, most challenging 20 days of your life, but also the most precious. Now the fun begins...going home and settling into your new, daily life as a beautiful family of three! I will be thinking about you and praying for your transition home, for your peace, for her health, etc. Thank you for sharing these last 20 days with us--you have strengthened my faith by the way that you live. Harper is one BLESSED little girl to be a part of your amazing, Christian family. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her life!
Have a WONDERFUL day tomorrow as you celebrate such a special occasion!
Hi Kelly ~
I have been reading your blog and following your story. I first found your praying for harper button on my friend Jenny Bruce's (Sophie's Hope) blog. I have been praying for your baby girl. She is beautiful! Praise God for what He has done and is going to continue to do in her life. I have a baby girl - Jaelyn - she is 4 months old. I love her to pieces and praise God for her. I love dressing her up - just like you do Harper! Enjoy every second and hold her as much as you can. Just when you think you are spoiling her and holding her too much - hold her even longer and even tighter. The days and years go by fast!!! I also have three other children, ages 8, 5,and 3...their babyhood went so fast.
Enjoy being at home with your beautiful baby girl!
In Him,
Dawn Massey
i am so happy for you guys, so great you guys get to go home. praying that everything will go okay
YEAH! She's going home!!! And don't worry about how you look - you're gorgeous! And yes, a baby does change everything. I'm glad things went so well for you and that these three weeks are now seeing that you are going home. :) Good luck with the trip!!
I will be thinking of you tomorrow as you start the next chapter of your lives together. AT HOME! With your little ANGEL! GLORY TO GOD!! XOXO
I am SO happy to hear this, and I was thinking about your taking Harper home while I was driving this evening. What a wonderful, wonderful gift you have been given!
precious baby, precious faith, precious Lord. A baby changed me.
Oh My Gosh !! I Am SOOOOO HAPPY that you get to take sweet Harper HOME tomorrow !! ((((HUGS))))
Praise the Lord! I am so excited that you finally get to take Harper home! It is so awesome to see how the Lord has used Harper to change not only your life, but the lives of so many. What a precious (and beautiful!) little girl!
How wonderful to be going home tomorrow! God is faithful...even when we don't feel like it. I wish I would have had a praise after this 2nd IVF attempt but unfortunately it is not God's timing! We will continue to wait and pray for our miracle!
I am SO excited for you! Isn't God wonderful?!!! Love,Dea
We've spent over 40 days with our son in the hospital (critical, vented, etc) and it's such an amazing thing to feel people's prayers and watch God work miracles! Praise the Lord that Harper is doing so well and you're going home! ENJOY IT!
I have tears in my eyes. I am so happy for you and you are right a baby changes everything. Life as you knew it before is no more, but that is okay, because life is better now. Not everyday will be perfect not everything will be how you imagined it but at the end of the day it is worth the no showers, sleeplessness and exhaustion!! You are right a baby changes everything!! God Bless you and thank you for sharing your precious angel with us. Safe travels home and we can't wait to see pictures of her in her new room/home. BTW- We sent Dawson a gift for her homecoming hope you got it!! Love, Maridith
Alleluia!!!!!!! It's been a tough day around here and I needed some good news..and of course there could be no better news than Harper is getting to go home.
I am so happy for all of you!!!! How incredibly wonderful that you are going to have Harper in your arms in her home! Your photo shoot is absolutely adorable and her pics are beautiful! Such a pretty princess!
Thank you for sharing your story with me and I can't wait to continue to follow Harper on her journey :)
God is good all the time!!! Praise the Lord! What wonderful news! Ya'll are going home!!! Have a safe trip home!
She is the sweetest baby ever, and she looks like she is ready to go home. She has made a difference. I found myself checking your blog everyday, and praying for Harper each night that she would be doing just that.....going home.
We will continue to keep your family in our thoughts, and I am so glad that a baby changed everything for you. We are looking forward to a baby in Taiwan changing our lives very soon. Our little girl is an "H" too, her name is Hayden, and because I have an embroidery business she has everything monogrammed as well. I love H's
take care, and enjoy sleeping at home tomorrow, and so glad you will get to see your dog!!!
praise the lord you are going home! how exciting...it's so strange to be home without all the monitors beeping, but at the same time, so wonderful! the pictures of miss harper are adorable!
happy going home!
god is good...all the time!
That picture of Harper with the little green hat is just so adorable! How awesome that you are going home! May God continue to bless you, Scott, and Harper. May you also have safe travels!
God is so good and amazing to listen to our prayers. I am so thrilled that you all get to bring her home tomorrow. God has definitely brought glory to His name!
She is a beautiful baby! I love all the updates and we are so glad she is going home!!! Cherish every moment...children really are a gift from God. Our little Molly was in NICU for 3 weeks so this brought back lots of memories and tears. We will keep praying!
YAY! God is SOOOO GOOD! I am so glad that you get to bring your precious baby home. Thank you for encouraging all of us with your unending faith. We have all been so blessed!
I just have tears in my eyes reading this. I am sooooo happy for you. It is going to feel so good to be home!!
I LOVE the picture of Harper in the sweet headband and blanket. Oh.my.gosh. She is precious!!!!
God has been so good!
Oh my goodness!! Can Harper be any cuter? She is just the most darling little lady!! We are all so happy that you get to return home tomorrow. God is so good. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
love,
Tiffany (California)
Congrads baby Harper! You did it!
God is Good!
I have never seen such a young baby smile so much. Her whole face lights up and her eyes twinkle! She truly has an angelic glow! I am so happy for y'all! I know it will be so great to take her home and get comfy just enjoying each other!
Kelly, I have stayed glued to your blog daily, and as often as I check my own from work, just to see the smiling faces of my boys, I also check to see adorable Harper, and lately, your smiles of joy. I sent a little something to you guys at the hospital, now that you are going home, will they forward your mail & packages? Congrats, happy homecoming!
Congrats!!! I told my husband tonight how amazing it is to hear that she is going home, when her initial prognoses wasn't so great. I prayed so hard for her and you/your family. I prayed just as hard for ya'll as I did when our 3rd baby was in the NICU fighting to survive with pneumonia as well.
And I have to say, I think she is the most beautiful newborn that I have ever set my eyes on.
You are so blessed. Enjoy and cherish every minute with your new little girl, as I am sure you will.
Take care!
Samantha, Texas
Wow, God is good. I happened upon your blog from another blog, and another, etc. We are also trying to have our miracle and know that God has a plan. You are an amazing person and will be an amazing mother to Harper. Your family will continue to be in our prayers.
What a blessing! And what a beautiful little naked face!
I went through a few months of "isolation" with my first son after he had some problems. I ended up having a heart-to-heart with my doctor and he told me that if we needed to come in, I could just call from the parking lot and stay in my car and they'd call me to come in. Something that simple saved me so much stress (no sitting with sick kids!!). Also, be sure to allow yourself to go out, even if you can't take Harper. After a month or so of being inside, a dear friend of mine took me out for ice cream late one night. I felt guilty leaving, but just getting out for those few minutes made all the difference.
And bravo on nursing her! It can be so challenging, but it's so worth if for both of you if it works out.
Wow! My heart is full right now! I remember crying when I read you were pregnant, then everything you've been through the last 20 days and NOW you're taking her home!!
God is good, God is good, God is good!!
Hi Kelly,
I'm not sure if my comment went through so I wanted to re-post.
We're rejoicing with you as we have watched and prayed as God has healed Harper. She's truly a portrait of Grace.
After my own struggle with infertility, God has allowed me to birth an infertility ministry called Sarah's Laughter (www.Sarahs-Laughter.com). Part of the ministry is a daily devotion called Daily Double Portions we sent to hundreds of women struggling with baby hunger. Today's devotion "just happened" to be called "Having a Baby Changes Everything". I know you're busy, but thought you might want to read it.
Having a Baby Changes Everything
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
You’ve all seen them. Those commercials that interrupt your favorite television program. Intimate glimpses into the blissful interactions of parent and infant. An awestruck toddler discovering the wonder of a frog. A bald, gurgling baby gleefully splashing as she is bathed in the kitchen sink. Yes, the voiceover on the commercial is correct. “Having a baby changes everything.”
Every time I hear that line, I also hear the anguished cry of millions infertile women: “Yeah? Well, not having a baby changes everything too!”
Infertility brings many life changes. Your dreams change. Your view of your future changes. Your plans change. Even your vacations change! After all, you can’t go rock climbing during that dreaded two week wait--just in case!
But there one thing that will never change, even through the ups and downs of infertility. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The same Jesus who wept with Mary and Martha when their hearts were broken, weeps with you as you stare brokenhearted at another negative pregnancy test. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The same Jesus who wouldn’t let go of Peter’s hand when the storm raged on is the same Jesus who holds you tight every time someone else announces a pregnancy. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Through your changed dreams and plans, through the changing seasons of your infertility, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He will remain forever steady and unchanging, even as the calendar changes from month to month and year to year.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Oh Kelly, this is wonderful, wonderful news! I am so thankful for our Lord who protected Harper. I am so happy that you and your precious family will be home tomorrow!
Love,
Colleen
It is a miracle! I can't wait for you to get to take her home. It is the most amazing feeling to hold her here or show her that~.. Oh and another prayer has been answered. My sister who has SEVERE infertility pituitary tumors, is PREGNANT! God is GOOD!
That's the best news I've heard all day! I'll bet you won't have any trouble witnessing now huh? You have an incredible testimony of God's everylasting arms and what prayer does! I think Harper has big things planned for her life! Thanks for sharing with us.
YAY!!!! That's AMAZING news! I can't wait to see Harper in her bed with all her cute monogrammed clothes and pretty hats! =]
PRAISE THE LORD!!! I am so excited for you to get to take Harper home! What a blessing! The photo session was precious! She is so photogenic, my goodness!
Oh and how nice that you got to take a trip out for a second!...and for a Sonic drink! (The Lord is good!)
That is so exciting, I'll be thinking about you and your family tomorrow as you settle into your home. Don't forget us out here in blogland! I still want to see Harpers beautiful face:) Melody
She gets prettier every day! I'm so happy that y'all get to go home tomorrow.
Praise God! We have been keeping you all in prayer & are so excited to hear that you get to take your beautiful daughter home!

Kelly, this post, like many in the past couple of weeks, brought tears to my eyes. I am SO EXCITED for you to be taking that BEAUTIFUL baby girl home tomorrow! I will continue to pray for your family. Congratulations!!!!
Tulsa will miss our famous little Harper. Hope you always bring her back and let us catch glimpses of her!
HOOORAY !!!! What exciting news. I can only imagine how excited you and Scott are. I know Dawson thinks you must have left him. He will be beside himself when he sees his mommy and that new sister of his. I wish you and your family safe travels home. I'm sooo glad that she is free of all those tubes. IT must be nice to finally hold her and not worry about setting those crazy machines off. HUGS to you and Harper. Thanks for sharing her with us, Kendall ( Austin Texas )
Oh Give thanks unto the Lord for he
is good, his mercy endures forever AMEN.
I am so happy that tomorrow you will be home - your 3 family. When my kids were little they called us a 4 family.
God's continued blessings to you all.
Hugs !!!!

Kelly,
I just found your blog last week through BooMama. I have been reading along and I have been praying for Harper and for her whole family. I am so glad that she is coming home!
Lisa in Orlando FL
I am thrilled to know that you will be able to take her home tomorrow! How wonderful our Lord is!
Praise the Lord! The pictures are so precious and she looks so healthy! Delight!
Congratulations! Harper looks so happy in these pictures, as do you! Enjoy every minute taking your baby girl home and starting your life together...I bet Dawson can't wait to see you too!! ; )
Oh Kelly,
These pictures are the most beautiful ones yet! Her smile is absolutely captivating. I can't wait to see photos of all of y'all at home and Harper in her very own nursery. Praises to our God for all that He has done for Harper and will certainly continue to do for her.
Be safe as you travel home tomorrow.
Love, Tammy in Alabama
God is good! What an amazing 20 days that so illustrate the power of prayer and God's grace. Hope your trip home goes well!
Enjoy that beautiful little girl! I'm so happy for your family! I needed a happy cry tonight! How wonderful! God bless you Harper!
I am SO SO happy for you guys! She is absolutely adorable and you will have so much fun! I'll be praying for a smooth transition to home! Congratulations!
Girl - I see you broke out the BIG hair bows! So precious!! I am so happy to hear you are going home tomorrow. I have been checking your blog every day and keeping up with Harper's progress. She is such a beautiful baby - it's great to finally really SEE her without all the tubes, etc. You are so right about that Faith Hill song. I know that God is going to continue to use your testimony to glorify Him. That is the WHY for all of this and everything we go through on this side of heaven. I'm keeping you all in my prayers and I look forward to the updates once you're home. ENJOY HER!!!!!
Kelly--she is just one of the most beautiful little baby girls I've ever seen! Can't wait to have you home. Maybe we can steal you away for a girls' night out here in a month or two!
That is the best news. She is just too precious. Of course we will expect updates when she gets home. I can't wait to see how Dawson adjusts to her. Probably very well. They are very loving dogs. Yea for going to Sonic. Everything is better with a vanilla Diet coke.
Erin from Danville
Praise GOD for His many blessings! I hope that you have a safe trip home and please post photos of her going home outfit. Take care and prayers.
Just made my week! Your little one has changed my life, and my perspective on things. What a true miracle Harper is, and she doesn't even know it! Enjoy tomorrow - so many people will be thinking of you!
Still praying for Harper in Chicago!
Kelly
Kelly, I am so happy that you and Scott will be able to take home baby Harper tomorrow! She is so adorable! I will continue praying for your sweet family. I cant wait to see pictures of her in your home in Arkansas!
Christa- Magnolia, Texas
I'm SOOO excited that Harper is going home--every time I see one of your posts in my google reader I'm so overwhelmed by the power of prayer that is evident in Harper. She's beautiful and I'm so glad you and Scott finally get to take her home!!
YAY!!!!!! I'm so stinking excited for you all!!!! Will pray for a safe travel home for your family.

I am so happy for you. SHe is looking so beautiful!!!
Yay!!! Congrats! God is great, and she is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Have a great homecoming, Harper!
What a beautiful baby girl! Don't you worry one little bit about her development because it's AMAZING that she's already smiling at 20 days old. My baby girl is now 18 and a senior in high school. She was a miracle from God and has blessed my life immensely. Take lots and lots of pictures of that sweet little one because before you know it, she'll be all grown up and leaving for college.
Terri
Woo Hoo!! Hallelujiah!! That is wonderful news!! I know y'all are beside yourselves with joy that she is able to go home!!
I will continue to remember y'all in my prayers!!
Great news!!
Kelly, I have tears streaming down my face! I've been so excited for this day, as I can only imagine how thrilled you are! O' happy days!! Praise God!
Yea! I am so happy to hear that Harper gets to go home tomorrow--what a blessing! I pray for continued healing and happiness on your journey home!
Thank you for being so willing to share your prayer requests and praises with all of us.
So happy for all of you!
Praise God for a healthy Harper! Thanks God for Sonic!
Kim
I'm so delighted to hear the good news about your precious baby girl. One of your readers- yummy mummy- http://cynthialovespictures.blogspot.com/2009/02/letters-from-heart.html
did not have such good news. She lost her little boy to umbilical cord strangulation yesterday- just 2 weeks before her due date. Please pray for her.
If it weren't bedtime in my house right now I would be shouting with joy!
God is good. I hope you continue your blog (no pressure) ;) because you are sure to have a following of people that want to see what God is going to do with Harper's life. No doubt it is going to be AMAZING. 20 days old and she already has a testimony that can make a person weep.
You will continue to be in my prayers as you adjust to home life and all that life with a newborn entails.
Oh, this news just made my night!
Hugs n' prayers
Valerie
Kelly, you don't know me, but I found you through another blog. Your daughter is precious and God has great things in store for you and your family.
The last photo of Harper peeking out of the blanket is beautiful. I hope you plan on printing that one and framing it!
So glad you are finally going home with your precious child. I have read your blog since you were dealing with infertility and now am over the moon that your wishes and prayers have come true. God Bless you and your family!
I'm actually glad our plans didn't work out to come to Tulsa Friday because that means you are GOING HOME! I want to see you, but I want you all to get to go home more! I am so happy Harper is all better and that you three are going to get to sleep in your own beds! This has all be nothing but a miracle from God. Kelly, she is just so beautiful, and Kandi and I will be there as soon as you can have visitors! Love you!
Kelly,
Oh enjoy every moment of Harper...She will grow so fast!!!
Could you please pray for our baby..He has HLH and is in the hospital with a blood infection....
Rhonda
Kelly and Scott, I and my family are so happy for you both and all the family. My Kaylee still asks everyday how Harper is and if there are new pix- now we'll have to get them from grandad and nonny at church.
We send continued love and prayers your way and I must say I've progressed from a twitter to a full fledge blogger, and will continue to follow the blogs.
Best wishes always and I'll see you when you come to Flippin First Baptist.
Simply adorable!
What a day tomorrow will be for you all! Never forget these last 20 days when things get tough, because she is a true gift from God. What a miracle! I am a mommy of 2 little girls, and there are "those days," but I always remember that I am so blessed and honored to be their mommy, that I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Harper has done so much for the Kindgdom of God, and she is so young. I know that He must have lots of good things in store for this baby! Bless you. Have a safe trip home, and please continue to keep us posted on Harper and you all!
Love,
Kelli Linkis <><<

Oh, what wonderful news! Harper is absolutely adorable....look at those smiles she's giving already!!! I am so inspired by your story--God is amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey..I cant wait to see pictures of her at home!!
And all God's people said...AMEN!
She is precious.
I am so excited for you all!! It's been amazing being on this journey with you--I know we all can't wait to read the next chapter. Congratulations to the Stamps family of THREE!! :)
HUGS!
AMAZING NEWS!!
So happy to read your post today! Glad this day has finally came. God is good!
Oh I am so happy for you. I have been keeping up with you and baby Harper since her birth. God is good!! I have felt so compelled to know what is going on with her. I have also been keeping my mother informed of Harper and I told her that I thought that we would have so much in common. We have had several of the same struggles in life. Donnie and I tried for several years for our sweet baby to be sent to us. God blessed us 18 months ago with a precious little (9lbs 6oz) girl. We had gone through several IUIs and decided to take a break and that is when it happened. God's plan for us.
I am so happy that you can take your sweet baby home tomorrow.
God bless you.
Yeah!!! I am so happy for u!!! She's so stinkin' cute. What a blessing and I am so thankful that God allowed us to see a true miracle!
I could not be more happy for the three of you! I have to tell you when I logged in and read that Harper was going home I screamed out loud, "YEAH Harper is going home!" My seven year old came running over and said, "Really Mom baby Harper is going home? God is so good he has healed baby Harper just like we asked!" Talk about tears flowing.... Then she says,"Maybe when Harper gets bigger and she feels all the way better, maybe we could get her and Kara Brooke {our 9 month old} a play date!"
I know you are ready to go home, may God continue to bless each of you!
Lots of love from TN!
-Holli
PTL,PTL,PTL Im so happy you guys are going home but I have yet to get my gift in the mail. would you please let me know where I can send it.
Yay for no more tubes and monitors. She is sooo pretty. And no doubt she will be one of the best dressed babies! Everything about her looks so perfect.
Congratulations on taking her home.
20 days ago I stumbled across your blog thru a friend's. When I first "met" you, you were happily enjoying a popsicle I believe :). I'm so thankful I joined your journey just in time to witness the miracle that is Harper. It has been a pleasure, everyday I anxiously go to bloglines hoping to see your title bolded with a new post. Congratulations on Harper's soon-to-be homecoming, thanks for taking me, and so many others, along for the ride.
So excited for you guys, Harper looks very excited about it also!
She is just too cute!
Brittany in Indiana
Amazing!!
YIPEE!!! Your lives will never be the same-I am a mom of three boys (Love all the cute hats on Harper-jealous!) and every day being their mom is the best. Even the bad days are wonderful with my husband and boys!
God Bless!
I have waited for this post! Praise God! You are both beautiful~
Stacia
Oh my goodness my heart just did a little leap. I am so thrilled for you guys and for Miss Harper. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you...you get to take Harper home tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing pics of the homecoming and Harper meeting Dawson.
HALLELUJAH!!!! I am thrilled for you all! Harper is georgeous, and y'all are going to SO enjoy HOME time!
I was so excited to pull up your blog tonight and see this post! What a testimony to the awesome power of prayer that Harper is going home to her very own home tomorrow.
Praise the Lord for all of the wonderful people that cared for Harper while she was in Tulsa. I can only imagine how attached they are to her and how much they will miss her.
I am so happy for you and your entire family! God certainly has something very special in store for this little girl!
I love the picture of her smiling so big. She is absolutely beautiful!
You will continue to be in my prayers as you travel home tomorrow and as you get settled into a routine as a family!
God is so good! Praise Jesus!
What beautiful pictures of Harper!
Praise God for all the answered prayers in her behalf these past 3 weeks. She is definitely a miracle child and loved by all of us in the blog world. She has lots of folks who love her so much, although we have never met. We are all children of God! I know you won't sleep a wink tonight, being so excited about going home tomorrow. I'm sure you are filled with so many emotions. I'm praying for safe travels for your trip home and for peace as you spend your time together as a family in your home. May God continue to embrace your family during this time and show you his grace and love. Won't Dawson be excited to see you guys? It has certainly been a privilege to travel on this journey with your family and I will continue to pray for you. Love & blessings from NC!
I am so happy that beautiful baby Harper is well enough to go home tomorrow. You and Scott have truly been blessed. Enjoy spoiling your very special miracle. And you are right...a baby does change everything!
Gail from Annapolis, MD
Kelly- I'm beyond thrilled for you all.... Can't wait to see pics of Harper at home where she belongs :o)
So happy for y'all! I'm crying tears of joy as I read your post. I am so thankful for what God has done for your little Harper. A baby does change everything. I've gone thorugh it twice and those sweet little faces change your whole outlook on life. I am so thankful that the Ultimate Baby came to this earth and changed everything for me and my children. He made it possible to pray all these prayers for your little one and so many others. Praise God!
Elyse
You don't know me, but I've been following your blog and am so thrilled that the Lord has healed little Harper! What a BEAUTIFUL daughter she is! May the Lord continue to use you, your husband, your daughter, and your story for HIS glory! Praise God!
I am so glad that y'all get to go home with your sweet baby tomorrow! Good luck on your new adventure! I will still be praying for all of y'all!
Please pray for my niece, Harper, and my nephew, Taylor, who will be born on February 17th -- they are teeny little things and need to do some growing between now and then!
You have the most beautiful, precious, little girl!
Congrats on the great news!
My daughter said this morning, "I wonder how Harper is doing today..."
I just think it's so sweet to "get to know" you and your beautiful family in such a remarkable way. It has been such a blessing to follow GOd's answering of prayers for your precious, beautiful baby!
That first pic is amazing! She is too cute...
God bless you over and over again...
Is. 59:21-60:1 says, "And as for me, this is my covenant with them", says the Lord, "My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring, from this time forth and forevermore. Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen up on you!"
Not only are you guys taking home your precious daughter, you are taking home a life that has been change--yours!! Praise the Lord for all that He has done! His glory will continue to shine through your family! We are so happy for you all! Wonder what He has for the next chapter?!?!?
Love to you,
Suzanne Rushing
I stumbled across your blog at the beginning of your journey with Harper. I am so glad to see that you are going home and that she is just fine. What a blessing and an answer to prayer.
Prayers of thanks and praise!!! Harper is beautiful - I'll bet all three of you can't wait to spend lots of family time together after all of this.
Sonic...yummmmm! (love those vanilla Diet Cokes)
oh what wonderful news!! i am so happy that she is doing so well and finally gets to go home. Thank you for sharing your life with so many random strangers...can't wait to see more pics of your beautiful little girl!!
Anna...from Texas
I happened on your blog by accident. I have been following for 20 days now. So excited for you! She's beautiful...and so precious! 17 1/2 years ago our son made a similar trip...he still complains that he doesn't remember his first and so far only helicopter flight. He wasn't expected to survive...our God is so amazing! He is now over 6 ft. and planning his future in college!
Enjoy your time with your little girl..she will grow so quickly. Blessings to you and your family!

YEA!!! I *know* that nobody is more excited than y'all...but there's a lot of us out here that are SO VERY EXCITED! God continue to bless Baby Harper!
I am so happy for you. Harper is so beautiful. Congratulations.
Harper is just beautiful and I could not be happier for your little family! What a blessing it will be to be home with a healthy little girl.
God is mighty and awesome! What an amazing journey Harper has been through thus far. May God continue to use her to draw others closer to Him. Praise Him for His mercy and goodness. I am so happy that your precious girl will be returning home with you tomorrow. May it be a day of great joy!
Praise God! God is so good! I have posted different times about my friends baby that was born the exact same day as Harper, but at Mercy in Rogers. There stories have been similiar along the way, but the amazing thing is they have both got their tubes out on the same day and they are both going home tomorrow! Born the same day and going home the same day! I am so happy for all of you!!!!
Tears of joy! I think we've all been hoping and praying to read those words for twenty days and nights.
Her eyes are GORGEOUS!
Thank you for sharing Harper with so many. Best wishes for a safe and exciting trip home! We will continue to keep you in our prayers in South Carolina!
She is a doll and God is so good!
Love,
The Halls
She is absolutely beautiful - Don't you just love how much you love them right away? who knew it was even possible?! Anyways, I'm so glad we serve a God who answers prayers and that you get to bring your sweet Harper home! :-)
Totally humbled and in awe. A baby does change everything as you're about to see. I know I'm going to cry the first time I actually get to see her in a few months.
Tonight, one of my little girls said a prayer for "Baby Harper" tonight without any prompting. She has moved many, many people. You have a precious, beautiful gift, but I think you already know that. I will be praying for all of you tomorrow. I remember our first few days when we took our oldest, who was a 28 weeker, home, and how scared we were. She is now a perfect 7 and a half year old.
Prayers for you, my new blogger friend. Thank you for sharing your story.
PRAISE GOD!!!! So, so, so happy for you guys. Harper is precious!
Praise God for your wonderful news. You are indeed richly blessed! Harper will remain in my prayers as the three of you go home and commence your new lives together as a family at home.
The photos of Harper are just more and more beautiful. I look forward to following your blog for a long time for you to share Harper stories and see her model her fashionable wardrobe.
My heart smiles with yours at today's news.
Ciao,

What great news! Definitely made me smile after a very stressful day.
GOD is AWESOME!
Twenty days already....I bet it seemed a lot longer for you! She is so beautiful and I am so so happy for you! I can't believe she is smiling already....lucky you! You know my favorite pictures of my boys are when they are tiny babies smiling in their sleep. Those are some of my fondest memories since you know all they dream about at that age is momma, daddy and milk!! Enjoy her!
I know you and Scott are just SO excited to be taking your little angel home with you. I'm so glad you're allowing all of us to be a part of this journey with y'all....
Praise God! So happy for you all!
She is beautiful Kelly! I prayed for her everyday and I am so happy she is doing well! A Baby Changes Everything was sung at my baby's dedication at church. Everytime I hear that song I cried because it is so true. A baby changes everything and I have never been happier in my entire life. God has truly blessed us with beautiful baby girls. God is amazing and continues to bless me and my family everyday and He will continue to bless your family as well. Congrats Kelly!
What a wonderful post! I am so excited for you guys. Look at that beautiful little angel with no wires or tubes! JUST GORGEOUS!
Have a safe trip home. Take lots of pictures for us! ;)
GOD BLESS

I also live in NWA and have followed your story throughout your journey, but have only blog-stalked and never commented. :) I recently had a miscarriage and I am encouraged by your faith and your story. I am a fellow sister in Christ and love the way that you have boldy proclaimed God as Harper's Healer. I am praying for you guys as you take your sweet baby girl home. I look forward to a continued following of her precious life.
Many prayers. Cari.
Tears of joy! Harper is a blessing to so many people; more than anyone could have ever imagined. A baby does change everything! God Bless your beautiful family and the extended family that baby Harper and God created.
P.S.-Get ready for the ride of a lifetime having your little girl at home! It's going to be the greatest journey.
All the best for a happy life with such a beautiful little girl.
Congrats on such wonderful news.
Words cannot tell you how happy I am for you all. Harper is so lucky to go home with the parents she was blessed with. Enjoy every minute of that precious baby.
I began following your blog from Big Mama's blog when she posted some 20 days ago that you and Harper needed prayers. I prayed for you and your family and the power of prayer is absolutly amazing. Congratulations, Harper is BEAUTIFUL! Have a safe trip back.
Kelly,

i have been reading your blog the past month or so and have never left a comment, even though i look several times a day to see what new news there is about harper. Just wanted to tell you how happy I am that Your sweet angel is going home with you. You all have waited a long time for this. I think reading your story of faith has helped me during this difficult holiday season as I suffered a miscarriage.
I think your story has reached a lot of people. some you'll never know about.
Thanks for having the courage to share your story with the world.
all my best to your new family

I am overwhelmed with the joy of the Lord. Harper has changed all of us in some way or another. What a testimony she will have. We all pray that we will lead someone to Christ, but not at less that 20 days old. You go girl!! Win 'um for the Lord.
Congratulations on getting to take that precious baby girl home. I can't get over how alert she is in all the pictures. She seems like a very happy HEALTHY baby. PRAISE GOD FOR ALL THINGS GOOD. Enjoy getting to be a REAL family at HOME. Can't wait to see MANY more pictures of her all dressed up. God bless you all!!
I've been following Harper's story closely and praying for you guys daily. It is such wonderful news to hear that you're taking her home!
I know you probably have a TON of clothes for her and it's about time she gets to wear them!! :-)
This is WONDERFUL NEWS! Enjoy your babymoon, even if it's a little later than you thought it would be :) And you know what? I don't think a person on here would blame you for turning off the computer for a while & spending every second with that sweet baby girl once you get home!
P.S. - She is just beautuful.
P.P.S. - I thought you might not have heard that yet ;)
I have such tears of JOY reading that Harper gets to go home! PRAISE GOD! He is so good!!!! She is truly beautiful and such a blessing! Enjoy being AT HOME with your sweet angel!!!!!
A baby DOES change everything!
Oh, we're so happy for y'all heading home tomorrow! Praise God! He has done a great thing!
