Tina Knowles can't wait to say hello to grandchild number two!

"I'm the most excited I can be. This is my second time around," Knowles, 57, told Us Weekly at Monday's Angel Ball in NYC. Her eldest daughter Beyonce, of course, is now expecting her first child (with husband Jay-Z); Beyonce's baby will have an older cousin in 7-year-old Julez, the son of singer Solange Knowles, Tina's younger daughter.

"She's going to be an awesome mom," House of Dereon designer Tina gushed of Beyonce, 30.

One thing the family won't be revealing until the February birthdate? The baby's gender. "Yeah, [I know the baby's gender]. But I'm not telling!"

Meanwhile, the pregnancy is going along quite smoothly. "She had morning sickness," Knowles revealed. "But she's over it and she's doing really good...she's very busy."

The "Love on Top" diva's number-one craving, according to her mom? "Waffles!"

Once the baby arrives, motherhood "will slow her down somewhat," Tina predicted. "But I think she'll be the same great person she's been."

Dad-to-be Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter) is also set to rock out as a parent. "Jay-Z is going to be an awesome," Tina said of her son-in-law. "They are very, very happy and just glowing, and it's great to see."

    As much as Jay Z has talked about wanting a child I seriously doubt he's be up for a "fake pregnancy" I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been so excited if she wasn't really pregnant and people kill me how their tired of reading this stuff but click the links so that they can read it. Yeah that makes a lot of sense

    Beyonce's 'baby' bump is being made public way too much. She has something up her sleeve. Real or not, she is using it for attention.
