Oh My Baby (the birth of Blue Ivy)

January 07, 2012 was a very remarkable day in the music scene. The diva, Beyoncé Knowles, gave birth in New York City a baby girl which they named Blue Ivy.

                Unexpectedly, the birth of Blue Ivy was confirmed by Rihanna on her tweet “Welcome to the world princess Carte! Love Aunty Rih.”

                Blue Ivy arrived via a C-Section and the curiosity of fans of the two most respected artists in the music industry questioned why was the baby’s name is “Blue Ivy”. Questions such as those pooped up in some of the social networking sites like a flash of lighting. Well, the “Ivy” means “4” or in the Roman Numeral “IV” which means very significant in the life of Beyoncé. First and foremost, 4 means her birthday September 4 and Jay-Z, December 4 and the most remarkable occasion of the couple, their wedding anniversary which is April 4, 2008 which I though 4/4/8 or 4+4 = 8. And the title of her latest album  “4”.

                Basically, when a woman gives birth, friends, colleagues, relatives and especially the family are there to visit and to support. Being also an ordinary person, Beyoncé’s family was there. Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, and her parents, Tina and Mathew Knowles was spotted at the hospital with flowers and also with pink balloons.

                Beyoncé, a diva, you would expect her to spend a lot of money just to secure when she deliver her baby and also to give an Imeldific birth to Blue Ivy. As Yahoo! said “The couple reportedly shelled out a whopping 1.3 Million dollar to take over a swanky, newly renovated suite (and according to some reporters, an entire floor) at Manhattan’s Lenox Hill in the Upper East Side”. The hospital staffs also were forced to turn of their cell phone especially those who have cameras “to avoid unauthorized picture snapping” (Yahoo!) and recording of videos. To be secure, the lenses of the security camera were covered with a tape for protection.

                The year 2012 is a very momentous year for them and hope for the years to come. Congratulations Beyoncé and Jay-Z and welcome to the world of music baby Carter!
