“Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me,” Halle Berry confessed at the time.
“So it’s been a big surprise and the most wonderful.”
Halle Berry largely kept mum about her pregnancy in the following months, but did admit to Entertainment Tonight in May that she considered the pregnancy a “miracle.”

This is the first child for Olivier Martinez and second for Halle Berry, who gave birth to daughter Nahla in 2008, with then-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
Halle Berry received a police escort on Friday as she took daughter Nahla to the theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.
Halle Berry, 46, and her 4-year-old were driven to the Nokia Theatre in a black SUV, surrounded by four police on motorcycles following Thursday’s incident between Halle’s boyfriend Olivier Martinez and ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.
She looked calm as she escorted Nahla into the theatre and then carried her out accompanied by a bodyguard.
Looking low key in jeans, a black top and sandals, Halle Berry held Nahla’s hand as they made their way inside to watch a concert by children’s entertainers Yo Gabba Gabba.
Nahla looked pretty in a pink polka dot dress and purple flip flops and listened to music on bright pink headphones, while her mother held her cuddly toy.
There was no sign of Halle Berry’s French beau Olivier Martinez who had earlier been seen in a liquor store brandishing a swollen hand from Thursday’s altercation.
Olivier Martinez, 46, opted for a half-hearted disguise by wearing a cap, but was nevertheless prepared to face the photographers on his “victory walk” – after apparently coming off better than Gabriel Aubry in yesterday’s fight.
Still, Olivier Martinez’s hand appeared to have swelled some more overnight – and looked bloated and painful as he stopped by Gil Turner’s Fine Wine & Spirits in Los Angeles on Friday.
Gabriel Aubry, 37, meanwhile, was pictured being whisked out of LAPD’s Downtown jail in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
He had a contingency plan in place for the photographers, though, cowering from the flashbulbs under a blanket in the back seat of an SUV as he was driven away.

Gabriel Aubry – father of Halle Berry’s daughter Nahla – was charged with battery and taken into custody upon his discharge from hospital at around 3:30 p.m. on Thursday – where he was treated for a broken rib and bruises to the face.
His booking sheets lists him as 6ft2 and weighing 180lbs.
The pictures emerged as fresh details of the horrific fight between Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez, which was reportedly captured on security cameras, continued to unravel.
Nahla was apparently saved from witnessing the full brutality of the fight – after Halle rushed her inside the house as the two men started to face off, TMZ reports.
However, it is unclear if she did witness some of the fight.
It was initially reported the brawl happened inside Halle Berry’s house – but it is now claimed the altercation played out in the large driveway, according to the website.

On Thursday a judge issued an emergency protective order in the wake of the melee – meaning Gabriel Aubry must stay 100 yards away from Halle, Olivier and Nahla.
Onlookers told TMZ the fight was “brutal”, with the website describing a blow-by-blow account of the melee.
A source said: “Olivier blocked [Gabriel Aubry’s punch] and the punch struck him in the shoulder instead.
“Gabriel then pushed Olivier to the ground, a struggle ensued, ending when Olivier pinned Gabriel to the ground.”
Olivier Martinez performed a citizen’s arrest on his love rival, before police were called to the scene and arrested Gabriel Aubry for battery.
Meanwhile, Olivier Martinez also required hospital treatment – and arrived at the Cedars Sinai Hospital around an hour after Gabriel Aubry.
The model-turned-actor was later pictured leaving the hospital, with Halle Berry and Nahla in tow, and took the wheel of the car despite sporting a swollen hand, which he may have fractured during the fight.
Meanwhile, Halle Berry was joined by a slew of other celebrity parents and their children at Friday’s show.

However, sources told TMZ that Halle Berry rushed her daughter inside to prevent her seeing the fight.
The youngster was later seen being carried in her mother’s arms as the anxious looking actress arrived home with Olivier Martinez following his discharge from hospital.
After a brief stop at home, the pair headed to a friend’s house nearby.
Gabriel Aubry, a French-Canadian model who lives and works in Los Angeles, had petitioned the court to stop Halle Berry’s plans to move to France.
He argued it would give him limited access to his daughter, while Halle Berry countered the privacy laws are stronger in France and would keep Nahla safe from the paparazzi.
Halle Berry, 46 – who split with Gabriel in 2010 – and Olivier Martinez, had put their wedding plans on hold while the actress focused on her custody battle.
