In a post on her website, the reality star who recently welcomed her second child opens up on the challenges of caring for her baby son, Saint, and her two-year-old daughter, North. Read below…
I’m up at 4 a.m. pumping and delirious, hiding in my daughter’s closet because if she sees I snuck out of her bed she will start to cry AND I think she gave me a cold so figure no better time to write a #Straight Up than now!
My mom would always say, about having kids: “One is like one, and two are like twenty.” I never really understood that until now.
It seemed like every time Kanye and I would go out, we would see couples—or really anybody that had kids—and everyone would say, “Wait until you have two.” Like it’s the end of the world! I remember Kanye and I would be like, “WTF are they talking about? Will our lives be the same? Are we going to be OK?!”
Of course, I expected it to be different but, wow, it really is so hard! When I had North, all I did was feed and sleep. This time around, I get no sleep. Every waking second that I’m not with the baby, I’m with North. I actually think the harder parts aren’t with the newborn but with the toddler! I feel like I go into overdrive to give my daughter attention and make her feel loved.
Kanye is super helpful, taking North out to dinners (just them!), and I’m so lucky North looks up to Penelope a lot. She also has a baby brother so she gives North the best advice. I have the cutest video of P giving North a heart to heart about being a good big sister.
I’ve attempted to work a few times or enjoy our Christmas Eve party, but it’s definitely been challenging feeding the baby in between getting myself ready and getting my daughter ready. Being late and running behind gives me anxiety, but I know we will soon get into the perfect groove and just figure it out. My mom did, my sister did—and I will, too.
Well do, true talk every woman will go through this
That’s the work of a mum
When i had my son, it was so easy adjusting, though i took a long break and had my daughter after four years. It now started dawning on me like i don’t have a life anymore, i was practically living their lives. Girls especially drain the heck outta you cos they’re always needing attention.
Motherhood rocks
The Lord the stregnth of every woman
With plenty nannies she is feeling this way,how about just you,hubby and the kids?Women dey try
Hmmm coming from kim K herself,nevr really liked her but saying this just showed me u need not judge someone until u get close to them,if she cud really give up all razzmatas for his kids,she’s the woman of the year for me & her believe she’s going to do better since her mom & sis did
