“The vibe in the room is calm, I thought there would be way more tension,” Kim says. “As much as I want to go off, I just don’t think it’s the time. So I’m gonna keep it cute, I don’t have to have a lot of interaction, I just have to be there for her.”

“I’m really excited to have everyone there, but oh my god, I’m getting that much closer to actually having to give birth,” Khloé says.
Khloé reflected on Thompson’s infidelity while last week’s episode ofKUWTKaired. The new momtweeted back and forth with fans, candidly revealing the emotional struggle she went through as she grappled with the news.
In response to a fan who praised Khloé, 34, for ultimately forgiving Thompson, 27, Kardashian admitted thatreliving the difficult timewas reigniting her initial anger.
“So crazy how emotions never die!” she wrote. “You may forgive but forgetting is not possible.”
“I wanted to have a beautiful birthing experience for myself and for the memories of what I choose to share with True when she’s older. I want her to have videos and pictures of her daddy there, holding her etc.” she said. “I want her to know she is LOVE and my happiness! Babies feel energy! I know this! I chose to put my feelings aside for the birth and to try and have as much positive energy that I could.”
“My only thought was about the birth of my daughter,” she continued. “I wasn’t going to let ANYONE disrupt anything less than what she deserved. Joyous love. I chose to be mature & strong for True. I waited for this day for so many years! I know now, looking back that I was in shock because I couldn’t believe that this would ever happen to me but I’m still very proud of myself for how I handled everything. True gave me the peace and strength I needed.”
As PEOPLE previously reported, Khloé decided to stay with Thompson, and they spent the summer as a family,rebuilding their relationshipin Los Angeles. In recent weeks, however, the couple hit anotherrough patch.
“Dealing with Tristan’s cheating has been very difficult for Khloé. When they have had good moments, she forgets about how hurt she got, but then when she gets reminded, she still gets upset,” a source told PEOPLE.
“On the outside, she acts all tough, but it still gets to her. But what it comes down to is that Khloé wants True to grow up in a family with both parents,” the source added. “She wants True to spend as much time with her dad as possible. She believes that True needs a mom and dad in her life.”
As for their future, Kardashian is fine taking things one day at a time with Thompson.
“Khloé hates when people have opinions about her relationship with Tristan. She feels that she doesn’t need to explain to people why she makes certain decisions,” the source said. “It’s obvious there are issues, though. She doesn’t define her relationship with Tristan — she only talks about him as True’s dad.”
