Congratulations Alicia! I hope he is as beautiful and talented as you are. Love and cherish little Egypt as much as you can especially while he is a baby. Keep him out of the spot light while growing up because people are vicious in their sayings. I can't wait till you get back in the spot light.

Congratulations.
