Kim Kardashian's baby bump couldn't be contained at her recent baby shower as paparazzi cameras clicked away. The reality star, who is expecting baby two with husband Kanye West, was giving their daughter North a lift when her shirt opened up and her midsection popped out!

Despite being thrilled to have their first son due to arrive on Christmas Day, Kim Kardashian recently expressed she's worried about how 2-year-old North is going to adjust to her baby brother. In a post on her site she wrote:

"Not going to lie, I’m a little nervous about bringing baby No. 2 into the mix. But Kanye and I are doing the best we can to prepare North! We read books with her about getting a baby brother and a new sibling all the time! We always say goodnight to baby brother...I know it it won’t be easy—North even has a hard time adjusting when I hold other babies!

Right now, I’m just trying to spend as much time as possible with North. I don’t have that many more nights with just me and her before the baby comes and changes her world completely. I’m really trying to spend most of my time at home so we have this special bonding time. Any other moms have this nervous feeling?"

While I'm not the spokesperson for all moms everywhere, I feel comfortable saying the answer is most definitely yes! Not only did I feel a tinge of worry going from baby one to two, I've seen dozens of moms express the same nerves on our blog over the past couple of years.

It's such a normal thing -- but the only advice I can give is not to worry.

Such an overused phrase, I know, but this is one of those things that I truly feel like magically works itself out 99 percent (if not 100 percent) of the time. Kids, especially in North's age range, are so into their own world that a little brother or sister is only something new for a brief moment and then they're back to focusing on whatever catches their eye like always. Also, it seems to me 2-year-olds are young enough that they very quickly forget their little brother or sister wasn't there all along.

That's how it worked in my family at least. Our eldest, who was 20 months when his baby brother arrived, was curious about the squirmy crying thing, then back to focusing on himself. Soon after that little bro was just an expected part of our lives.

Were you worried about your first when baby two came along? How did the transition work out?
