Well folks, I have been trying to put off this blog entry for weeks, and really wanted to wait another month before posting this. But I can't keep secrets for very long, and the fact that I have kept my little secret (for the most part) for a month is pretty impressive.
So in case you were wondering this entry is not about the show 7th Heaven (although I admit to have seen every episode). But it is about the fact that in November we will become a family of 7! So if any of you were wondering why I look like I have put on a few pounds, its because I have been eating everything sight. Or for my neighbor who is wondering why I am always taking Noah to the bus stop in my pajamas and then at noon I am still in my pajamas when I take Ian to the bus. Or why it takes me extra long to get down to primary on Sunday, ( I am sneaking a snack).
And now for all the well wishers here is a list of answers to the questions that I will inevitably get in the next few weeks/months. ( These are all questions/comments I have been asked before, and mostly from people I have never met).
1. Are you crazy? -No
2. Did you plan this? Yes
3. Don't you know what causes this by now? Of course, why do you think I have so many kids
4. Do all your kids have the same baby Daddy? Yes
5. Is he still around? Yes
6. You're not old enough to have that many kids. . . Yes I am, I am 20 thank you very much
7. You must be very wealthy ( my favorite comment ever)-- Well not anymore.
8. How are you going to feed all those kids? Its a good thing I have a year supply of food in my basement
9. How are you going to afford to send those kids to college? What people do that? I paid my own way to college.
10. Are you done yet? Most likely
There you have it folks... the reason why I have been a an ultra sleepy, cranky, nauseous funk. And I am posting this. . . . . now.. . . .now.

Congrats Nikki! Everytime I call mom I find out another sister or sister-in-law is pregnant but since you all are now and Kristina will probably take some time off I feel there will be less surprises. Wow, 7 sounds like a lot but then i remember we had 8 and I loved it so can't wait to see a new addition to the kitchen line!
Congratulations!!! I hope you're not feeling too sick!

Hi Nikki!
David and I were friends long, long ago. He suggested I go to the family blog to have some updates. You have a great family. David is such a kind, nice guy. You both are very blessed!
Speaking as a mother of five... IT'S GREAT! This may be a lie sometimes but for the most part it's great!
I hope it's a girl so you have 3 and 2. Best wishes to the Kitchens
Wow! I have been behind with the blog world, CONGRATULATIONS!! Love your Q&A. That would have come in useful for me, the last few years of having four babies before 30!! Hope you are feeling better!!
