Halle Berry Is A Mommy

By: Errol Mars

Congrats are in order for new parents Halle Berry and her Canadian boy friend Gabriel Aubrey.

Berry gave birth to a beautiful 7lb 4 oz  baby girl at 10:17am Sunday morning after she had checked into Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The actress had checked into the hospital for the second time that day after feeling contractions earlier Saturday morning.

"Halle had come to the hospital at 4am in the morning because the felt like she was going into labor. It was a bit scary because her blood pressure was skyrocketing and everyone was a little tense. She's a diabetic so that was complicating matters as well. The doctors checked the fetal heart rate and everything seemed okay. After a while Halle's blood pressure came down. She wasn't dilating anymore so at around 2:45pm they let her go home.

"Halle was overcome with emotion when she finally held her little girl. She said everything she had gone through was worth that moment. The tears kept coming as Halle didn't even want the nurses to take her baby to clean her up and measure. It was a truly beautiful scene."

This is the 41 year old actresses first child. Her publicist Meredith O'Sullivan told People.com, ms. berry and her baby were doing great.
