The 29-year-old mom-to-be was also given a traditional Zulu name as was her unborn baby. Here's what you had to say: Anonymous commented: "I wish Alicia and Swizz Beatz a happy and healthy baby." Felicia wrote via Facebook: "They can bless the baby at the moon, it does not matter as long as their love stays strong. That's what counts."
