We know what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are thankful for this holiday season!

The reality star gave birth to a baby boy on Saturday morning. This is the second child for Kim and husband Kanye West, who are parents to 2-year-old daughter North.

The couple announced their son’s arrival on Kim’s official app:

“Kim Kardashian West and her husband, Kanye West, welcomed the arrival of their son this morning. Mother and son are doing well.”

Kim also posted the following message on Twitter:


No further details were given at this time.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s due date was originally on Christmas Day, but because of her high-risk delivery, she decided to be induced earlier. There is no word as to whether or not she encountered any complications during delivery. Earlier in the week, Kim happily revealed that her baby was no longer breech after she checked into the hospital last weekend and “underwent a procedure called an ECV (External Cephalic Version, or a Version), which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head-down position.”

For Kim, pregnancy has always been difficult. When she was carrying North, she had to give birth five weeks early after suffering from preeclampsia, a condition in which a woman’s blood pressure spikes.

“With the issues I had last time, my risk of having preeclampsia and placenta acreeta are increased and there’s not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery,” Kardashian, 35, revealed in a November blog post. “In a very rare case, I might need a hysterectomy after delivery if my condition is severe enough, but luckily my doctor doesn’t think this will happen.”

While pregnant with baby number two, an ultrasound showed more fluid than normal in Kim’s placenta, which could be a sign of gestational diabetes. This condition usually goes away after pregnancy. Still, all of the challenges got to the E! star.

“I’m gonna keep it real: For me, pregnancy is the worst experience of my life! LOL!” Kim wrote in October in a post titled, “From the Desk Of: How I Really Feel About Being Pregnant.”

She continued, “I don’t enjoy one moment of it and I don’t understand people who enjoy it. Maybe it’s the swelling, the backaches or just the complete mindf**k of how your body expands and nothing fits. I just always feel like I’m not in my own skin. People just don’t tell you all of the gross things that happen during pregnancy or after. Do you know you basically have to wear a diaper for two months afterwards?! LOL! No one told me that! #SoSexy. Really, it is all SO worth it when you have your precious baby in the end! So for all my complaining, it’s 100 percent worth it and more!!!”

After struggling to conceive naturally Kim and Kanye reportedly used IVF to get pregnant with their son. However, Kim slammed rumors that she underwent those treatments with only male embryos to ensure they would have a boy.

So will Kimye keep expanding their family?

“I might try for another one, if God willing, that works out for me,” Kardashian said months ago. “Never say never!”

We’re guessing Kim and Kanye are good with two … for now.
