“This is my 11th grandchild, and I couldn’t be more excited, or proud of all my kids and all their kids,” Kris said. “Our family grows, every single year.”

“There’s just a difference when your kids have siblings, and that’s all you really want for them,“Kim Kardashianadded. “We grew up with so many, that I think it just really shapes who you are, and I’m so happy that she’s expanding her family.”

The Kylie Cosmetics founder later discussed how she’s feeling postpartum, responding to Kris' comment that she “just bounces right back” physically.

Kylie first opened up about her postpartum recovery six weeks after giving birth to her son in a post on herInstagramStories. After a boomerang selfie on a workout machine, which she labeled “6 weeks postpartum,” Kylie shared a message to her “postpartum moms: that postpartum has not been easy.”

“This experience for me personally has been a little harder than with my daughter,” she wrote.

“It’s not easy mentally, physically, spiritually, it’s just crazy,” she continued. “And yeah, I didn’t just want to get back to life without saying that because I think we can look on the internet — for other moms going through it right now — we can go on the internet, and it might look a lot easier for other people, and put the pressure on us, but it hasn’t been easy for me.”

In a subsequent slide, she added, “It’s OK not to be OK. Once I realized that I was putting some pressure on myself… And I just keep reminding myself I made a whole human, a beautiful healthy boy.”

“We have to stop putting pressure on ourselves to be ‘back,’ " Kylie said. “Not even physically, just mentally, after birth. So yeah, just sending some love. I love you guys!”
