North West, the 2-year-old daughter of superstar parents Kanye and Kim, now has a sibling. The Wests welcomed a baby boy on Dec. 5. Kim revealed the news to her fans through her website, “KANYE AND I WELCOME OUR BABY BOY!” The shout out included a photo of Kim and Kanye holding hands.
For a while the baby boy did not have a name, which sent Twitter into a frenzy as fans offered suggestions. The name “Easton West,” which relates to the couple choosing the directional name, North, for their daughter in 2013, trended briefly on Twitter.
“Am I the only one that’s in love with the names North and Easton West for sibling names?” one fan tweeted on Dec. 5. “It’s cute and creative.”
As the days went by, many projected that the stars would not name their baby for as much as seven days, the time it took them to name their girl North.
“It’s like the last thing Kanye and I did when North was born,” Kim told People prior to having her daughter in 2013. “We didn’t name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us.”
Mother and son are doing well, even though Kim faced some complications leading up to the birth.
E news reported that Kim underwent a procedure over Thanksgiving weekend to have the baby turned in the correct direction.
The 35-year-old Kardashian feared she would have to have a C-section but the procedure allowed her to have a natural birth, E News reported.
“They don’t give you any pain medication, and let me tell you: This was soooooo painful,” she said about her Dec. 1 procedure in a blogpost on her website. “Probably more painful than childbirth. BUT it worked!!!”
