Kara Keough Bosworthis going to be a mom again!
On Thursday, the daughter ofReal Housewives of Orange CountystarJeana Keoughposted a carousel of photos onInstagramannouncing her joyful pregnancy news. Alongside photos of her family of four, Keough Bosworth penned a lengthy caption that honored herlate son McCoy.
“After McCoy died, sharing my sorrow with you all helped,” she began. “Grieving out loud helped me name my feelings and confront them. Like a monster under the bed, they felt less scary in the daylight.”

“Like maybe they couldn’t drag me down and eat me alive if I kept them well lit. So I hung my heart out for all to see, and swept exactly none of the muck under any damn rugs.”
“F— a rug; I wanted to feel it all. And then, when I found out I was pregnant with Vaughn, I quietly unfurled all the rugs. I lined every inch of my life with their insulating padding. I quit my job. I ignored phone calls and texts,” she wrote.
“I didn’t leave my house unless I had to (thanks Covid). I didn’t share our news with anyone that didn’t need to know. And when I did share, it sounded like I was telling them ‘I have ulcers.’ It was not a joyous celebration.”
“It was a painstaking and brutal admission: ‘I’m at risk for another heart-shattering catastrophe,’ Keough Bosworth continued. “I was cocooned in a world of pain and did my best to shield myself from as many landmines as possible.”
“I’ve always clawed my way on board with Decker for her sake, and Vaughn’s, and McCoy’s. It SHOULD be a happy occasion that they’re getting another sibling. For me, there’s just a cautious reluctance to let the excitement fully absorb.”
Keough Bosworth shares 7-year-old daughterDecker Kateand 2-year-old sonVaughn Mackwith husband Kyle Bosworth. The couple also share sonMcCoy Casey, who died six days after experiencing “shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord” during his birth.
