Welcome to the World Harper Grace!






Harper Grace Tate was born on Wednesday April 27th at 12:49 am.

Harper was 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long.

My labor was induced on Monday evening and the labor was very intense due to also having kidney stone pain. I couldn't have gotten through the labor and delivery without my amazing push partners, my mom and Miss Taylor Polk. They were my source of strength and encouragement when I didn't think I could keep going.

When Harper was born and I heard her cry for the first time I felt a love that cannot be compared to anything in this world. In that moment, I was changed. I became a mother and I could not be more grateful for my little girl.

I want to thank all the friends and family who sent their thoughts and prayers. I want to thank all the friends and family who came to visit us in her first few days, brought meals, flowers, laughter and love. You guys are amazing, and I am overwhelmed with how much love little Harper has been welcomed in this world.
