According to the Medical Center of Plano in Texas, Tracey gave birth to little Kelcey on January 6. She weighs 6 pounds, 11 ounces. Grandmother and baby are both healthy.

Kelcey’s name comes from combining both Tracey and Kelley’s names.

Kelley and her husband Arron McKissack tried for three years to have a baby, attempting multiple fertility treatments and suffering three miscarriages.

Tracey underwent several medical treatments in order to carry the baby.
