Include Sticky Post in Page Posts Count?

I would like 7 posts showing on my homepage. I would like to be able to manually choose those posts by stickying them.

Currently, I have my posts per page set to '7' in WP Admin. However, this does not include sticky posts as I now am having 7 sticky posts + 7 newest published posts displaying for a total of 14.

How do I include the sticky posts in the posts per page count?
