“I am a huge planner, I love to be prepared,” she explained. “That’s just how I am. I always thoughtKourtneywould be the godparent of my child, but lately I’ve been watchingKimberlyand she’s been someone that I really gravitate to as a mom. So it’s a tough choice between Kourtney and Kim.”
“Um, I mean, I don’t know,” responded Khloé, 34. “What I was told is that I can’t set that up until I have a birth certificate.”
“You have to think who has the best values of what you want your kids to be around and see and experience,” said Kourtney, 39, who shares sonsMason, 8,Reign, 3, and daughterPenelope, 6, with exScott Disick,
Later, Kourtney revealed she had assumed it would be her.
“I don’t know why this even something Khloé has to think about,” she said. “My passion is my kids and my family and we’re always doing fun things and traveling. The kids have a sense of freedom but we also have boundaries, so I’m obviously the best choice.”
But Khloé admitted she had been feeling especially connected with Kim, 37, who shares daughtersNorth, 5,Chicago, 7 months, and sonSaint, 2, with husbandKanye West. (At the time, she was still expecting Chicago via surrogacy.)
“I feel like Kim has been so selfless during my pregnancy,” said Khloé. “She’s trying to just help make sure that you feel your best, look your best, have the best. She’s so secure in her life that I feel like she would be an incredible godparent. She’s just been a great friend and sister.”
Seeking advice from momagerKris Jenner, Khloé asked her how she went about choosing her own kids’ legal guardians.
“I mean, Kourtney has a certain set of values and she goes to church and I think she would raise a child to believe in God,” added Jenner. “Kim, on the other hand, she’s very hands-on with the homework and with just making sure that the kids are always where they’re supposed to be. She’s very attentive and thegrooming is impeccable. … Just listen to your heart and listen to your mind, because those two things will tell you exactly who you’re supposed to pick.”
Finally, Khloé came to her decision: “I have thought this over long and hard and I’ve decided what I want to do,” she said. “I just have to make the best decision for my daughter but I also am not trying to hurt anybody’s feelings.”
“Watching Kimberly be a mom, I really respect her parenting skills — not that I don’t respect Kourtney’s, I relate to how Kim parents more,” she continued. “But at the end of the day, this family is so close and we love each other so much and if anything, God forbid, were to happen, I know my daughter is in the best of hands no matter who her legal guardian is.”

Sitting down with her two sisters, she braced herself to break the news to Kourtney.
“Guess what? You don’t have to give me an explanation,” replied Kourtney. “I’ve got three kids and I’m busy on my own.”
“You’re at capacity,” suggested Khloé.
“No, I’m not at capacity,” clarified Kourtney, adding that she would like “one plus” more kids.
Kim, meanwhile, said Khloé’s decision was “an honor” and promised she would “take such good care” of any future nieces and nephews.

Kim, meanwhile, was preparing to welcome her third child into the world — and she still didn’t have a name picked out.
“She’s coming any minute,” she said. “I think when you have a surrogate and you don’t feel the everyday pains, it just kind of creeps up on you. It’s crazy how fast it comes.”
“Everyone’s going to be like, ‘Oh my God, that’s the craziest name,’ ” she said. “And then they’re going to go crazy and then they’ll get used to it.”
As for the inspiration?
“The name Chicago, everyone asked me where we came up with that,” she said. “Kanye is originally from Chicago and the city is really connected to hismemory of his mom, so we went with Chicago.”
“Honestly, when it’s done, I think [surrogacy] was thebest decision I ever made,” she reflected. “I think it was such an amazing experience. I would recommend it for anyone. I am the biggest fan of surrogacy.All my fearsof everything I thought was going to happen— like,am I going to connect? Am I going to feel connected?All of that goes out the door and you just instantly feel connected.”
