Oh Kim, we absolutely love it when you are so god damn real, especially about motherhood. Despite being able to hire round the clock help with the click of a finger, Kim is hiding in closest, getting no sleep and writing delirious essays. You go Kim.
Kim K has used Saint’s wake-up-and-feed-me call to type an essay for her daughter, North, in ungodly hours of the morning:
“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,” Kim says. “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 20,’” Kim says. “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?!’
“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.”
She also gave a quick shout out to her husband who apparently makes things a little Yeezier, by taking North out for dinner, just the two of them.
But despite her delirium, Kim sees the light.
“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.”
Hang in there.
