Nancy Grace, John David, and Lucy video

To promote Nancy Grace‘s return from maternity leave to her show this evening, CNN has posted a new video of Nancy and 9-week old twins John David and Lucy Elizabeth. The clip appears to have been shot the same day as the recent People photoshoot. In the video, an emotional Nancy, 48, introduces the babies, saying,

Lucy wakes up in the morning with a smile on her face — she stays that way almost all day long. John David is named after John the Revelator, who wrote Revelation and ended up being exiled for his beliefs, and his father, David [Linch]. And Lucy Elizabeth is named after my grandmother who helped raise me, and my mother Elizabeth.

They look almost identical, except he’s much bigger than her. He’s a brick! He’s at 8 lbs now. I’m proud to say [Lucy's] almost 6 lbs now. They’re just miracles.

I went into the hospital that day thinking I was just having breathing problems — I didn’t know anything was wrong. I had no idea I had blood clots in my lungs and pulmonary edema. I hadn’t been there an hour and a half before these two children were delivered by emergency cesarean. When it happened, I could feel them coming out, but it didn’t hurt.

And I saw them for about 45 seconds, they were all swaddled up, and I got to kiss my finger and put it on their forehead, and that’s one of the last things I remember.

Okay, that video made me get tears in my eyes. Those are some beautiful and blessed babies and you can tell Nancy is so in love with them, and a little bit in awe. They are truly miracle babies. Glad everyone is doing well and I wish the whole family the best!

I sorry. I don’t want to be mean but a 48 year old woman should not be having babies. It is a serious health risk to themselves and their babies. Nancy Grace is perfect example. I have to ask….would she have had a 2 pound baby if she was a young and healthy 28 year old. We live in a overpopulated world. Nancy has the money and means to adopt. I think she is sending out the wrong message to woman. I think posting pictures of a woman pushing 50 holding her premmie babies who almost didn’t live is irresponsible. It’s not cute…it’s scary.

I am so pleased for Nancy and her husband. I had a difficult delivery with my son who is now 3 months old and I look at him and he gazes back at me and I literally spend my day in tears because I know how blessed I am to have him. It sounds like Nancy has that same feeling times 2 and I couldn’t be happier for her. Way to go Nancy and only the very best for her family and those beautiful babies.
