The 34-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star confirmed she's expecting her second child with husband Kanye West.
"We are so beyond excited," Kardashian told Glamour magazine, for which she'll appear on the July issue's cover.
Kardashian said she's changed drastically since North was born in June 2013.
"I'm a completely different person. I don't know if it's growing up or being with Kanye, who's more private, but I try and live my off time as privately as possible. I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn't know what to do. Now I enjoy my family time so much, there is this sense of, If it all went away, and I was just a mom, I would love my life," Kardashian explained.

She told Glamour that becoming a mom wasn't an easy time in her life but it ended up being the biggest blessing.
"It really changes you. When I found out I was pregnant [with North], I was going through an awful divorce," Kardashian said, referencing NBA player Kris Humphries.
"Kanye and I had just been dating for seven months -- granted, we knew each other for a decade -- and I was like, 'I can't do this. It's not the right time.' But then I figured, If I'm in my thirties and I'm not ready, I'll never be ready. So it's been the biggest lesson, and the biggest joy of my life."
Kardashian noted it's been tough having the responsibility of a child, but she had anticipated it would be.
"My best friend told me, 'You'll never remember what your life was like before her, but it'll be okay...' North has taught me patience. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her. And nothing I wouldn't do for my husband. She's empowered us to want to be the best parents and the best spouses," Kardashian told the magazine.

"Today North put on these Manolo heels of mine and was walking perfectly around my closet. I sent Kanye a video of her; he was like, 'Tell her to stop! She cannot grow up, she cannot wear your heels.'"
As Kardashian is maturing, she said she's not proud of every decision she's made in life, however, she's learned from her mistakes. She's also not trying to be a role model to anyone because there are things she's embarrassed about or wishes she hadn't done.
"But if I didn't have all those bad, crazy things, would I be who I am today? I don't know," the reality TV star said, adding that she'll continue to share her story on Keeping Up with the Kardashians because it's "rare" for her to feel uncomfortable with cameras documenting her life's events.
"I didn't know that I was going to be so open with [my fertility challenges]. But meeting people at my fertility doctor's office who are going through the same things I'm going through, I thought, 'Why not share my story?' It's been really emotional. One doctor told me I would need my uterus removed after I had another baby -- I could only have one more," Kardashian explained.
"One was like, 'You should get a surrogate.' The other one was like, 'Oh, no, you'll be fine.' Then I called my doctor, and he's like, 'You know what? I believe we'll get through it.' There are definitely times when I walked out [of the doctor's office] hysterically crying, and other times when I was like, 'Okay, everything's looking good -- it's going to be this month!' The waiting and waiting has been a roller coaster."
