How Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Handle Touring While Pregnant
Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian wants to spend as much time as possible with her husband Travis Barker as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

Most people know that it was a hard realization for him to accept and that it took him a while to get there.
Before announcing they were expecting, Kardashian had been candid about her desire to have a child with Barker. The reality star previously underwent IVF before the couple walked down the aisle in Italy, but eventually dropped out.
