Today, Kirstie is about to film her juicy Q&A video for her and Blaine's family YouTube channel!

Kirstie asked all of her Instagram followers to ask her some juicy questions so she can make a Q&A video today! This video has been a highly requested video, so Kirstie finally had the time to sit down and film it!

Kirstie sees a lot of questions in her picture's comment section, so she thinks a Q&A will hopefully stop all of the rumors and rude comments.

Right now, Kirstie is sitting on the couch with pillows propped all around her to help her sit better on the couch and Blaine is laughing at her because it looks ridiculous.

"Don't laugh at me, babe! I can't help it! I am
really pregnant, so I need all of the pillows to feel comfortable sitting on the couch during my video!" Kirstie says playfully to Blaine as Blaine giggles some more at.

"I am trying not too, babe! But you are so stinking cute with with all of your pillows on the couch." Blaine says as he giggles and rubs Kirstie's baby bump, making Kirstie smile ear to ear.

Kirstie is nearing the end of her fourth pregnancy and her body just hurts, so sitting is uncomfortable at this point for her!

"Do you need me to do anything before I go upstairs to watch a movie with Harper and Piper?" Blaine asks Kirstie softly.

"No, I am fine, Blainey! Thank you though! I am going to film my Q&A video and take a nap before the kids come home from school." Kirstie says with a big cheeky smile at Blaine and Blaine smiles at Kirstie.

"Okay, love! Just call me if you need anything!" Blaine says to Kirstie.

"I will!" Kirstie says happily to Blaine.

Blaine then softly kisses Kirstie a few times before he goes back upstairs.

Kirstie then fixes her position on the couch and fixes the camera on the tripod before she turns the camera on with the remote.

"Hey everyone! My name is Kirstie Maldonado Rogers and welcome back to The Rogers Fam YouTube channel! Today, I am going to film a very highly requested Q&A video! A lot of you have been really wanting this, so here it is! Grab a snack and a drink and get ready for this Q&A! My answers will probably be long so get prepared!" Kirstie says as she smiles and chuckles at the camera.

"So I asked all of you guys to to send me some really juicy questions on my Instagram for this Q&A today and you guys really delivered with some questions! I am only going to answer a few today, maybe about ten! So if you would like another Q&A please let me know in the comments! Now, let's get started!" Kirstie says with a big cheeky grin at the camera.

• How is your pregnancy doing?
My pregnancy is really great! This has been my easiest pregnancy so far which I am so thankful for! I always heard the more times you are pregnant the harder the pregnancy is but not for me, thank goodness. This is my fourth pregnancy and it has been super easy and smooth! Baby boy is doing great and is going to be a big boy, probably around seven to eight pounds! He might be bigger, who knows! Reed was a nine pound baby!

I just can't believe I am in my third and final trimester already! Baby boy is coming in mid May and all of us are very excited to welcome him into our big family!

• How are the kids doing adjusting to both parents being in new relationships and with new siblings? 
All of the kids are adjusting very well with everything that has happened since the divorce and I am happy that all of the kids are doing well. Kids are very resilient!

Madison really loves having Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper as her siblings! She was an only child for a long time until her mom had her baby brother, so having Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper as siblings is really fun to her!

Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper have a little sister on their dad's side as well as two future older step siblings! And on my side of the family, they will have a baby brother in a few more months!

As for Jeremy and I getting into the new relationships, it took a little bit of adjustment. They were used to Jeremy and I being together and they wanted us to be together. But after a while, they adjusted very nicely and they love Ashlea and Blaine.

All of our kids have four parents that love them very much and that makes me happy!

• Are you close with Blaine's family? We never see pictures of them on your Instagram!
Yes, I am very close with them! They are amazing people and I love them very much! They are wonderful in-laws! Blaine's family likes to remain private because they are just regular people and not famous, which I completely understand! My parents like to keep their privacy too so I try to respect that! However, Blaine posts many pictures when we visit with his family and I am in some of the pictures. I am usually taking the pictures though. *laughs*

Blaine has a really small family too! He has his dad Todd, his mom Katie and two younger brothers, Brodee and Brandon! He also has his grandparents on his mom's side but they live in another state so we don't see them much. All of them are very kind and are just amazing!

All of the them really love me as well as my five children. I know some families have a problem with their child dating someone with kids already, especially a lot of children, like I have. I honestly thought I would never find someone who would love me as well as my five children but I have found the perfect person and the perfect in-laws!

Blaine's family took all of us right in and right away and they treat us as if we have been in the family for many years! Todd and Katie have taken in my five children as their own grandchildren and they spoil all of them rotten! They are very excited to have seven grandchildren now and not just one.

• What is the custody schedule with the kids?
During the school year, I have the kids through out the week and Jeremy takes them every weekend or every other weekend, depending on what is planned on the weekend.

Also if the kids have a holiday off or a day off in the school week, Jeremy usually takes the kids them that day as well!

Jeremy and Ashlea have moved into the same area as the kid's school district so we may do a week at their house and a week at our house but I'm not sure yet! Probably not, we don't wanna keep mixing things up if things are working fine now.

As for the summer time, we do one week with me and then one week with Jeremy. Jeremy likes to take the kids on trips so that schedule works great for that.

And for most holidays we usually split them. So half the day the kids are with him and then the other half they are with me or vice versa.

As for Madison, she comes over most weekends and for all of the school holiday breaks usually.

Madison and her mom Elise don't live in the same school district as us right now so she usually doesn't stay the week with us. However, next school year she will be in the same school district as the rest of the kids, so she can stay over during the week and she is so excited for that!

Blaine and Elise are very friendly with each other and they want what's best for Madison. They keep it civil and friendly for her! Their divorce was very bitter but now they are friends, which is great. Blaine can come over to visit Madison if he likes and Elise comes over with Madison for dinner at our house some nights!

As for Jeremy and I, our relationship is slowly getting better. It is a lot better then it was in the beginning. We both want what's best for Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper so we are willing to work together and make sure they are happy. I think Ashlea has helped keeping us civil and not argue, she is the best!

• Do Jett and Jude feel left out or different because they are adopted?
When Jett and Jude were adopted, they both felt very different and not like they belonged into the family because they weren't biologically related to us.

Jett and Jude were six years old when Jeremy and I adopted them so they were both old enough to understand that Jeremy and I aren't their biological parents and that they have parents out there.

Jett and Jude didn't call Reed, Harper and Piper their siblings for a while. But now they do!

Jett and Jude are very close with Reed, Harper, Piper and even Madison. They are close with Ashlea's two children Roman and Keolani as well! All of the kids get along great which I love!

Jett doesn't feel left out because of being adopted. To be honest, Jett doesn't really talk much about being adopted and if he does, he is very positive about being adopted and he loves that he was adopted. Jett understands why he and Jude had to be put up for adoption and he understands that all of us love him.

However with Jude, he still feels left out sometimes which breaks my heart. Jude understands just like Jett does about why he was put up for adoption and he knows that all of us love him but sometimes he struggles with having other family out there somewhere and he thinks that they don't like him and that's why he was adopted.

Both Jett and Jude have behavioral issues due to their childhoods prior to being adopted so I think that makes them feel different too because not everybody has trauma like that.

Jett and Jude do know that I love them, Jeremy loves them, Blaine loves them, Ashlea loves them and all of their siblings love them!

Both Jude and Jett go to therapy to help them both with trauma from their pasts.

Wow, sorry for the long answer for that one! I get this question a lot so I really wanted to explain it!

• Will you and Blaine have anymore children after baby boy is born in May?
We actually haven't even thought about it! *laughs* Well actually, Blaine and I talked about it some but not a lot! We thought about having two children together.

Blaine only has his daughter Madison and now this baby. Blaine always wanted three kids so I am sure we will have another one at some point after baby boy or born! *laughs*

Also, I think Blaine wants one more, so this baby can have a playmate close to his age. Our youngest is Piper and she will be three in June so that's a big age gap.

However, Blaine treats my five children as his own just like I treat Madison like she is my own. We both never thought we would have seven children but her we are! *laughs*

• Does baby boy have a name yet?
No, not yet! But Blaine and I are debating on two first names for him! However I think we both know which name we like a little better then the other!

The middle name is the same for both first names though! I'll give you guys baby boy's middle name so you guys can get excited!

Baby boy's middle name is going to be James. James is is also Blaine's middle name. All of the first born sons on Blaine's side of the family have James as their middle name. So baby boy will be Blaine's first born son, so James will be his middle name!

It is really special to me and to Blaine so I am happy we can continue the family tradition!

• Why doesn't Madison's mom pose with pictures with you and Blaine? Do you and Blaine have a bad relationship with her?
Madison's mom Elise has actually posed with some pictures with us and here are some examples.

*Kirstie puts four pictures up of Kirstie, Madison, Elise and Blaine together*

Elise hates taking pictures too, so that's probably why we don't have many with her! *laughs*

However, we always get a picture of Elise and Blaine with Madison because it is very important for Madison to have pictures of her with both of her parents. Despite them splitting up, they are still her parents.

However, we don't tag Elise's Instagram page on any of the pictures we post with her because Elise wants to remain private and Blaine and I completely respect her privacy 100%

Elise didn't ask to be in the spotlight and she doesn't want strangers looking at her pages and stalk her. Elise wants to remain safe and she also wants Madison to be safe. All of our kids safety is our number one priority.

I know I am a celebrity and I know people will follow all of my social media accounts but Elise is not a celebrity, so just because she knows me that doesn't mean she has to be a celebrity too.

Blaine has accepted the fact that people will follow his page and comment on his posts. He thinks it is cool that his wife is famous and he is kinda famous too! *laughs*

Every time Blaine posts a picture of Madison and her brother Kayden, he always asks Elise's permission first because we wanna respect boundaries.

• Why did you and Jeremy divorce?
This question is a very personal one, but I know lot of people have asked both Jeremy and I this question ever since the divorce happened.

I know a lot of you were invested in our relationship, our marriage and our family and we appreciate all of the love and support. We appreciate all of the love all of you have for our five children and we appreciate all of you looking out for them.

But sometimes certain things don't need to be explained or be out there for everyone to judge and to nit pick. There were a multiple reasons that led to our divorce, but I will not get into them because it is nobody's business but mine and Jeremy and the people that personally know us.

Jeremy and I are better apart then together and I am glad we figured that out before we were really deep into things. I am sure a lot of you will say, well you guys had five kids and two pets that's deep into things.

But not really, because our careers weren't as advanced then and all of the kids were very young. The kids are adjusted and are just fine. All of them see that Mommy and Daddy are both happy now and that makes them happy.

The divorce is officially over and has been over for a few years now. Emotions have settled down and things are calm now. I don't wanna come online and just start hashing out old news it doesn't matter anymore.

Also, Jeremy is the father of five of my children and I don't want my children to see this video one day and think negatively of their father or think that mommy hates daddy, because I don't.

• Who exactly is Zaiden? I have been seeing him more and more on your Instagram as well as Jeremy's!
This will be the last question of this Q&A because this is probably one of the hardest questions and one of the most asked questions on the list.

I wasn't going to answer this question because more questions will come up if I answer it. However, I don't want all of you to think I am hiding something because I will always be honest and truthful.

So, Zaiden is Jeremy's son and he is ten years old. I posted pictures of him on my Instagram page when it was his birthday, Jeremy and Ashlea sent them to me.

Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper all went over to Jeremy's house to celebrate Zaiden's tenth birthday with all of his siblings from his dad's side.

Zaiden was born while Jeremy and I were dating. Actually we were engaged, we just gotten engaged. He went out of town for business and well you can guess the rest of the story what happened.

No, I did not know about Zaiden until Jeremy and I were getting divorced actually and it broke my heart because one, he cheated on me and I had no idea about it for all of those years. And two, I was upset because Zaiden didn't meet his siblings or had a relationship with them until later in his life.

Jeremy didn't know anything about Zaiden until Zaiden was two years old, and Jeremy paid child support without me knowing which upset me as well.

Jeremy told me earlier that I can say all of that on camera. He knows he will get a lot backlash for it and he knows people will call me dumb for not knowing. It is what it is, it is the past and all of us have moved past it.

Zaiden is just a child and none of this is not Zaiden's fault. Zaiden is a very sweet and kind boy and he looks just like his dad.

I am actually really good friends with Zaiden's mom now and we make sure to have the kids see each other as much as they can!

Zaiden loves hanging out with his siblings and Jett, Jude, Reed, Harper and Piper all love him!

"Well this is the end of the Q&A video! I hope you guys enjoyed it! Be sure to like the the video, subscribe and comment! And we will see you all next time! Bye!" Kirstie says as she happily waves goodbye.
