Kim Kardashian is human just like the rest of us. Shocker, I know. The 34-year-old reality star, who is 4 months pregnant with her second child, has been struggling with morning sickness in the worst way and airing out her woes on Twitter. As an expecting mom myself, I give Kim kudos for keeping it real about the not-so-cute parts about pregnancy. Kim says it like she means it–even if it is about feeling like you need to barf at every minute of the day. She even admitted to gaining 20 pounds in her pregnancy. Can this Kim stick around after baby Kimye is born?
