She was then seen telling Barker, 46, “I feel like it’s a blessing that we’re here and even able to be doing this ‘cause the last two times we tried we weren’t able to get to this phase.”
“I do love being a mom,” Kardashian added in a confessional. “I think having that experience with Travis would just be incredible. I know he’s a really, really amazing father. It’s one of the reasons that I fell in love with him.”

Dr. Wood is then shown giving the couple some positive news at their appointment: Kardashian has a “good”-sized 19 mm ovarian follicle, meaning they are able to move forward with the retrieval.
“We have many good babies from one good follicle, so hopefully it’ll be high quality and [yield] a normal embryo,” he toldthe Poosh founder.
“Even though there’s only one follicle that Dr. Wood is really seeing that’s standing out, the fact that we even have [that] gives me a lot of hope,” Kardashian said.
HerBlink-182rocker fiancé agreed: “It’s the most exciting thing ever. I’m so happy. Family is everything to us. To be able to make something together would be just incredible.”
“So after they retrieve the egg today, hopefully, then they make an embryo, which takes six days, and then they test the embryo, and then they [transfer] the embryo [into the uterus] and then, hopefully, it [implants and] becomes a pregnancy,” Kardashian said in a confessional. “All weneed is one good egg, and now it’s just in God’s hands.”
