Yes, I know the title of my blog is a play on the reality show about the Kardashians, but that doesn’t mean I actually like any of them. I think they’re all obnoxious, self-centered and whiny. But a quote I read yesterday from Kourtney just sealed the deal. Apparently, Kourtney is nine weeks pregnant with baby number two by that d-bag Scott. And she thought nine weeks was a great time to announce it to the world. But what about waiting until the second trimester to announce like most people do? In her words:
“You’re supposed to wait until 12 weeks to tell people, but I feel confident.”
Oh I see… so confidence would have kept my baby alive? Good to know for next time. Maybe I’m over-sensitive these days, but comments like this just seem like a slap to the face for people who have suffered a loss.
Now, I wouldn’t wish the pain I’ve been through on my worst enemy, so I truly hope she has a healthy pregnancy and baby. But could you even imagine how that fame-seeking family would exploit a miscarriage? Disgusting.

That was both of my SILs reasons for announcing at 5 weeks and encouraged me to do the same when I found I was pregnant a week later. After being through one loss already, I wasn’t so sure and sure enough I had a miscarriage a week later. Their reason was not only that they were confident, they were confident God wouldn’t let them miscarry. What a slap in the face to me, a believer, who did miscarry…
