Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are feeling lucky about their first child together.

‘‘It’s true,’’ the 32-year-old reality TV star said in a statement on her website Monday. ‘‘Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us.’’ Kardashian’s father, Robert , died in 2003. West’s mother, Donda , died in 2007. Kardashian added in the blog post that she was ‘‘looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family.’’
