Most or many of you already caught on to the little mystery, but if by chance you haven’t I’ll try not to spoil it. We have been placing clues all over the blog for the past couple of days. How many did you spot? Can you find them all now?
- One in the left sidebar
- One in the right sidebar
- Our About page
- Our Stuff We Love page
- A new category
- The title of this post
- The url of this post
- Several improperly capitalized letters in this post
- The header
- The url of one of the proposed cover images for our new book
Some of my status updates on Facebook were also meant to beg the question. Two that come to mind are the ones about a nap and celebratory amounts of chocolate brought home by hubby.

Even though I know…I must be really slow …I cannot find all the clues!!!
Still looking !!!
The header was too obvious. Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Your clues were so clever.
Pretty sure it is a boy and I have a good track record with my friends(including my online ones), I did second glance the nap one and thought hmmmm ya sounds about right….SO happy for you!!!
Oh and my 2 year old would be thrilled for a May 7th bday for your baby!!
Congratulations!
(Now this makes me wonder what else I’m missing out on by reading my favorite blogs in a blog reader….hmmm.)

Congratulations, Kim & Perry!!! We have a little blessing on the way in about a week or two – can’t wait to hear more about yours!
About 2 weeks ago the thought flittered across my brain about you and a new baby on the way…so I just waited for the announcement! (It happens a lot, don’t be weirded out)
Congratulations! How very exciting!
Congrats! We both had our Bethany’s just a couple weeks apart, and just two weeks ago I had our #10 – Samuel Ezra. He was supposed to be a girl, but came out a boy, much to the delight of the three other boys and his Papa.
I was just glad he came out!
Whoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you. I am also feeling very dumb for missing the clues. It is amazing how much you miss when you have been at a site long enough. I can’t find the clue on the right sidebar. The clue in this post that did it for me was the mention of what the Facebook updates were. And as my suspicion grew, I took a look at the header and I knew. Yah! My favorite clue is the one in the URL. You are hilarious.
Lulu
Congrats! That is so awesome! How far apart will Bethany & the baby be?
Congratulations! Thanks for making things clear for those of us who missed the clues! Even after you wrote about it on Facebook, I still couldn’t find any clues!
Bethany W in mid-MO
Congratulations! Yea, another sweet baby. Funny that I actually DID read the url of the puppy post and I had this long drawn out thought process in my brain, “what? How can the mom of those puppies be pregnant again? And if she is why don’t they just come on out and tell us all that they’re going to have more puppies instead of keeping it a secret in the url?” Yes, that dumb…..
Congrats! I am so happy for you.
Wow! Here’s to many great naps in the 9 months ahead!
I’d been wondering……Congrats!!!!!
Oh, IM so happy for you… and a bit envious. We are desperately trying for #6. COngrats!!!
Wonderful! Congratulations! I just teared up a little. I don’t even know you. Maybe I’m pregnant…
LOL. I’m so happy for you!
Congratulations Kim!!!! May the Lord give you energy and strength for the coming months.
Congratulations!!!!!!!
So excited for all of you. I started following your blog when you were pregnant with Bethany. I told my hubby how number 8 was your first boy. We just had our first boy with number 7 a year ago. I also am expecting the end of March and I keep telling him don’t be so sure it is going to be another boy. I always go back to your family. Congrats again.
Congratulations! It’s a little early for you, isn’t it? I thought you usually space ‘em at 18 months
.
Best wishes for a healthy, uneventful pregnancy. And as always, can’t wait for you to live blog the birth! Hee!
I’m so proud. I figured it out the day you mentioned the nap.
I am SO happy for your family! (The making more room for people to sleep, combined with that, was a clincher.)
Congratulations!
Congratulations…I noticed your header yesterday and I kept counting the children…trying to figure out how y’all totaled up to 12!
I had a feeling there was another blessing on the way. Hoping that you live blog the event……I was totally addicted to the updates when your precious son arrived. Blessings!
OH, how exciting!!!! Congrats! It must be in the air ~ first the puppies now another bundle of joy! How fun!!! Blessings to you and your crew!!!!

Congrats, Kim and family! How exciting! Blessings to all of you!
CONGRATULATIONS on your new upcoming blessing! I’m super excited for you guys & I don’t even know you! =oD
Keep us updated on the progress. Will you find out if it’s gonna be more skirts or if the boy’s actually gonna have a friend??!!
Well… I had not guessed but was waiting for an announcement since you have said in the past that you naturally have them about every two years. Hope you are staying well rested and well fed with lots of chocolate. (p.s. my husband calls me and my friend the “Chocolate Wives”)
Thats wonderful news! Thanks for sharing! May God bless this child.
My favorite was the hyperlink in the URL…verrrrry clever!
Congratulations Kim! I’m so excited for you. What a blessing it is for y’all. Children are such a blessing, I wish we would have been able to have more, but I’m totally blessed with the 2 the Lord has left me with =) Congratulations again!!
Congratulations!!!!! That is really exciting. I guess it’s pretty funny not to catch any of those clues, but when you read in an RSS reader some of them are harder to find.
Still – very cute. And also, yay!!!
Congratulations, thats fantastic news!
Congratulations!!!
I was totally in the dark until I read this post and now I’m happy for you!
Congratulations! This is super exciting!
I thought that might be it! Clever girl with your clues!
Congratulations to you all!
Congrats on the new baby on the way.
Congratulations! Our family is very happy for you! Many blessings to you all!
Congrats! You will be blessed with another olive plant at your table!
Congratulations!!!!! Many blessings to you and your family!
Lots of love,
Sommer
Congrats from Arkansas! We just had a baby boy, too, so perhaps boy season will stay a while. Either way it’s a wonderful blessing.
Amanda
Man! The past few days I’ve had about 5 chances to win 5 contests, and guess what, I’m always too late!!!!! I think the clue I saw (I think it was on “Stuff we love” page) was that you’re expecting number 10! Congrats.
Blessings,
Johanna
You’re pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to following this pregnancy with you on your blog……maybe getting to say hi in October of 2010, we may be coming to the SAICFF with the WHOLE FAMILY!!!
Ah, such a sweet and memorable time!
The clues were so funny, especially the one in the url! Clever!
Congratulations and blessings to you!
Yeah. I went back and clicked on every link above, and I only got the obvious ones. When I log in to read, I don’t even look at the header anymore! And I did see the baby book on the left sidebar, but I just thought you liked it for the advice and tips it gave….
Yeah. I’m the type who’s not good at riddles, or I guess even things in plain sight!!!
And may I say that I’m a teenie, weenie, itsy, bitsy, tinesie bit jealous that it’s not me????? I’m happy for you!
Congratulations! I’ve had the feeling that your #10 was on the way and didn’t even realize why! That was very sneaky of you.
Congratulations!!! Babies are such a blessing!!
Congratulations! It is so refreshing to see a family that considers the baby part of the family even before birth!
YESSSS!! Soooo excited! I was just thinking the other day, “hmm.. wonder why that You Developing Baby book is there.” Then I saw your header!
I was to lazy to read ALL the comments so you might have answered this question already. How far along are you?
Congratulations!!
Babies are such a blessing!!
Love always
Marta
Congratulations!!! I thought something was different but I didn’t put it together. I am not always too quick on the draw.
We just found out we’re expecting again as well. This will be our #7. Do you know when you’re do? (I have discovered over the past two days that Chicken Tortilla Soup makes me very sick to my stomach. I can smell the leftovers heating up and I am getting sick to my stomach like I did last night. URGH!! Food never makes me sick in pregnancy – except sea food.)
I never realized it until now. Congrats! How many months are you now? You’ll have to post pics when you get to the “look pregnant” stage…it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to…you have to! The kids must be really excited…I’m hoping it is a boy for Perry4′s sake…(the poor kid)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are you due?
I still don’t see anything in the right sidebar, but then I didn’t catch the nap thing either. If needing a nap were a sign for me I would now be 8 years pregnant.
Jeana,
I’m due May 25. I’m just a little over 5 weeks along.
I know what you mean about the nap!
Congratulations! I don’t think I have ever commented before but I love your blog and am very excited about your news! I soooo want another baby but hubby does not. With 3, he thinks we should be done. I just want one more! LOL
Awww Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for your family! The Lord is good!
Wonderful news! Many congratulations to you and your family.
Congrats!!!! I’m so happy for you!
I just found the clue on the right sidebar. Clever. For those who are still clueless about that one, hover your pointer over the ads in “We love:”. You will find it.
Lulu
Kim, Perry, and family — Congrats!!! I’m so happy for you
In Christ,
Sallie
Congrats Kim!! I haven’t been online for almost a week because of feeling the “general malaise” of being 8 wks along! (with #7) Happy to “share” this season with you! Blessings, Whitney
