Ne-Yo's birth announcement
A couple of months back, Crystal penned an emotional letter to her unborn daughter, noting how she had prayed for a girl in her family.
"Dearest Daughter. I have prayed for you (my mini) for many years but God knew I needed a little practice before you blessed us with your love. Practice being soft mixed with slightly rough edges. Practice being calm in the midst of all storms. Practice walking with grace in cruel circumstances. Practice in learning to love me fully and whole so that I can be an example for you," she wrote.
She said the long wait has made her realize she needed to grow up a lot before raising what she knows will become an amazing woman one day.
The 31-year-old added that carrying the pregnancy changed her in so many ways and that she will be better because of the young angel they are expecting.
