When Baby-Beyonce finally arrives, reportedly in February, its gender won’t be a surprise to his or her grandmother.  Speaking to US Weekly magazine, Beyonce‘s mother, Tina Knowles, said, “Yeah, [I know the baby's gender].  But I’m not telling!”  What Knowles did reveal, however, is the food that her daughter’s been craving ever since she became pregnant:  “Waffles!” says the proud soon-to-be grandmother.  Knowles also said that Beyonce had morning sickness in the early stages of her pregnancy, but she added, “She’s over it and she’s doing really good…she’s very busy.”  Knowles also predicts that B will be “an awesome mom.”

This isn’t Knowles first grandchild — Beyonce’s sister Solange has a 7-year-old son, Julez — but she’s still thrilled .  “I’m the most excited I can be. This is my second time around,” said the 57-year-old House of Dereon designer.
