Kourtney Kardashian is soon-to-be a mother-of-four, and she's certainly feeling all of the emotions! 

What's more, the Poosh founder was in a reflective mood at the start of the week, admitting to being tearful on what was a "bittersweet" day - her daughter Penelope's 11th birthday

The Kardashians star paid a heartfelt tribute to her only daughter on Sunday evening, alongside a sweet throwback video of Penelope sitting at the table pretending to be a person called Kiki Kendall - a combination of her aunts Kim Kardashian (who she calls Kiki) and Kendall Jenner.

In the caption, Kourtney - who is expecting a baby with husband Travis Barker - penned: "I am in awe of her every day. I couldn’t imagine being more proud to be her mommy. 

"I can’t believe she’s 11 years old…it is so bittersweet. I cry every year on her birthday when she turns older, sad that it’s going by so fast, and so joyous of what a wonderful little lady she is. Happy birthday my sweet Penelope."

Meanwhile, Scott shared a look at what Penelope got up to on her birthday over at his house - which is located just around the corner from Kourtney's in order for the children to easily spend time with both their parents.
