To know or not to know...That is the question?

So Shay and I have been debating, do we find out if we are having a boy or girl, or do we wait for that beautiful surprise? We were going to just let it be a surprise when we were having number 3 but when 3 turned into 4 we figured we had better find out. So Shay was excited when we found out it was one baby and said lets let it be a surprise. So I agreed. But I have been having second thoughts. We are going to be doing lots of rearranging and the prep work, I guess I could make two quilts. It would be really fun to not know. But It would be alot easier to just know and have everything ready. I really think it is a boy, I am not sure if that is just my hope or not? The Chinese calendar says it will be a girl. I don't know what to do, I am losing my mind debating with myself the pros and cons. What do you think? Should we find out or just let it be a surprise? This is our last kid so its our last chance? I don't know what to do. HELP!

It looks like Ive been tagged

I guess I was tagged but I have been so out of it I didn't know... I think you are suppossed to put the rules here but unless I can copy and paste... forget it.

3 Joys-Most people put the family, The Savior, and TV, that is obvious, I think... Arbys, Zofran (antinausea meds), cute babies.
3 Fears- Natural Disasters esp while pregnant and sick, Never ending morning sickness ( I just want this part to be over), Not having a healthy baby.
3 Goals- For Life... Tour Europe, have my kids marry in the temple, get out of debt.
3 Obsessions- The Bachelorette ( I Love Jason the most), Trying not to feel sick, My awesome Husband.
3 Random Facts- I have gained 2 lbs despite throwing up almost everyday, I have totally fallen for my husband all over again this pregnancy(I am lucky, He is amazing), I like to watch the mole and I am sure the black guy on the show is the mole....can't wait to see if I am right.


I tag Christina, Cyndee, and Caroline

Happy Fathers Day

Okay, I don't think I have ever given shay full credit until now. He is awesome, and I do not use that term lightly. I am truly awed. I have been sooo sick, depressed, sick, constipated, useless during this pregnancy and shay has been pulling all the weight. I pretty much do as much as a 12 year old babysitter would do during the day. Keep the kids from dying or killing each other, which involves someone dying, so it counts as doing one thing. I feel so sick that they pretty much have the run of the mill. The house is a, well lets just say disaster is going easy on it. Shay works all day, comes home makes dinner (I know this is sick, I am just trying to stay alive), cleans up, plays with the kids, puts them to bed, makes sure I am still alive and then crashes. Most mornings he brings me breakfast before I get out of bed so I won't be as sick in the morning. So as bad as this makes me look, I know it is bad. Shay is absolutely amazing. Now you can see how awesome he is, thats what I am talking about. After 10 years of marriage, today I love him more than ever. We are really luckly to have this man in our family. We Love you Daddy!

So the Verdict is in.....

I know only 7 voted but I figured it wasn't fair to make all the others wait. Well after much anxiety and waiting in the waiting room for an extra half hour, Shay and I thought we would lose our minds and then they called our name. So......the Lord blesses those he loves, and He blessed us with triplets, Shay was right. Just Kidding, Shay is never right, and the Lord only gives you what you can handle so he only sent us ONE. Hooray. I was so relieved and with the stress of that over, I have actually felt a little better yesterday and today. One baby, I can hardly believe it. What a relief. So thanks to all those who said my sanity couldn't take mulitples again you deserve a candy bar, and for all those who said twins... may you one day be blessed with multiples so you will understand.

Taking a vote

So of course we are pregnant and so we want to know what you think. We are taking a vote to see who gets it right. Tommorrow is the ultrasound and we should know then. I want to wait until 10 people vote until I post the answer so get people voting. When you have multiples once you have greater chances (abt 50%) that you will have multiples again. (or so Ive been told) I have been sick enough for two, and have asked to Lord never to make me do this again, so however many he wants me to have they should be in there this time. Shay thinks its triplets, I always said I wanted 7. So leave your Comment and make your vote......is it 1, 2, or 3 babies for the Hopes. What do you think?

Baby, oh Baby!

Okay so if anyone has been wondering where I am, well I have been really sick. Yes, that is right we are pregnant! I am about 8 weeks and feeling like crap. We have our first ultrasound on monday and should know if we are having one or three. Shay seems to think it is gonna be triplets. So stay posted. Just FYI being pregnant = misery, at least for me anyway.

Daddy Daughter Dance

The ward put on a Daddy Daughter Dance tonight and shay took all the girls. They were so excited to dress up and go on a date with daddy. They got coursages, got to dance, eat dessert and kaely won the raffle for a sparkle hat. They were all smiles and stories when they got home. It seemed like a wonderful memory. Skyler and I painted, talked and played pokemon on gamecube. We had lots of fun as well.
