Kim and her husband Kanye West will soon be welcoming the newest addition to their family
The couple, who already share two-year-old daughter North West, announced they were expecting during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians in May.
Since then Kimye - and the rest of the world for that matter - have been waiting very patiently to meet the newest addition to their family.
Now as Kim reaches the 36-week mark and the due date gets closer and closer, here's everything you need to know ahead of the birth:
It's a boy
The parents-of-one gave themselves a head start on the planning when they found out they were expecting a boy earlier this year.
Kim recently revealed he weighs 7lbs - double what her daughter North did during her third trimester.
She said: "He's [the weight of] a REALLY heavy pineapple, LOL! [I have] Anxiety, knowing my baby is so big and I’m gaining a lot of weight. My doctor wants me to manage it better, but it’s hard to!"
A name hasn't been chosen
After having months to decide, Kim and Kanye are yet to settle on a name for the little fella . Kim told E! News! "I don't have names, which is so crazy.
"We just started talking about it and that was the last thing for us last time. So I feel confident obviously that we'll figure it out."
Earlier this year it was reported that the couple had settled on the name Easton.
But Kim later told Ellen DeGeneres that husband Kanye wasn't a big fan.
It's a high-risk pregnancy
Nori is getting a little brother
Kim suffered from preclampsia and placenta acreeta - which affects fluid retention and the delivery of the placenta - when she gave birth to daughter North two years ago.
The reality star penned a blog about the condition recently and revealed that she may need a hysterectomy if it occurs again .
She explained: "With the issues I had last time, my risk of having preclampsia and placenta acreeta are increased and there's not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery.
"In a very rare case, I might need a hysterectomy after delivery if my condition is severe enough, but luckily my doctor doesn't think this will happen. So as time goes on, I am stressing out less and trying to go with the flow."
The baby could be breech
The 35-year-old explained that her unborn son was supposed to turn at the 32-week mark but his head may still be facing upwards .
She wrote on her website: "My latest concern is that my baby is breech, meaning he's in the wrong position for childbirth. His head is still up and it's supposed to be down. He was supposed to turn by 32 weeks."
The brunette beauty has been researching other options in the hope that she might be able to avoid a C-section.
A 'secret' birth may be planned
The reality star's medical issues may mean that it's safer to induce labour before she goes full term .
"Kim's doctors want to get the baby out early because of her medical history," a source told Us Weekly.
In 2013, Kim also gave birth to North five weeks early due to complications.
He could be a Christmas baby
If Kim hasn't already delivered naturally, doctors are said to be ready to perform a C-section when December 25 swings around .
Kimye are already planning for the big day and have allegedly booked a deluxe maternity suite at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
No doubt Yeezus will be thrilled for his son to be born on such an important day.
Kim is counting down the days
She's already had more than enough
Kim is totally fed-up with being pregnant - and she's not made a secret of that fact.
The starlet has gained 52lbs since she conceived and is ready for her little man to show his face.
She told E! News: "I'm really not complaining, I'm just being honest and being honest about [it]. I hate it. You know pregnancy is not for me…
"You know I've heard stories forever about how amazing pregnancy is from my mom and Kourtney and that's just not the case for me and I'm not going to sit here and lie and act like it's the most blissful experience. It's awful."
But she's yet to slow down
During her third trimester Kim has proven that there's no rest for the weary.
The mum-of-one has been out and about as normal and recently made time to complete ALL her Christmas shopping in one day .
Mum Kris Jenner hasn't held her tongue on the matter and warned Kim she needed to slow down after finding out she was heading to Paris for a dress fitting.
The 60-year-old said: "You're trying to do everything that would make the normal non-pregnant person exhausted."
