This is just my take but I think you should reduce the number of kids to what you alone can handle. I understand you have bonded with the others but nothing is more important than your health and well being. I would get back on some sort of birth control till the other chaos has died down. Even a few months will help. Can you imagine doing everything else AND dealing with morning sickness or worse, a high risk pregnancy? Take one thing at a time. It is very hard to find good reliable help (I know, I am on my 4th assistant) so you need to be prepared to have periods from now until forever where you have to step in and do it yourself. Expanding right before you try and get pregnant plus all the other stuff is a really bad idea. Just take the hit and let some of the families go for now.
