2012: Beyoncé Welcomed Firstborn Blue Ivy Carter

Who could forget Beyoncé's epic pregnancy reveal at the MTV VMAs in August 2011? After an incredible performance of "Love on Top," the songstress had an actual mic drop moment when she suddenly unbuttoned her jacket to show off her growing belly.

After her unforgettable pregnancy reveal, Bey welcomed firstborn Blue Ivy Carter on Jan. 7, 2012, with husband JAY-Z. Things hardly slowed down for the new mom, though. In May, she made an onstage comeback at a her concert in Atlantic City, NJ. A little over a month later, she snagged two awards at the BET Awards: best female R&B artist and video director of the year.
