The former Wonder Years star and bestselling author gave birth to her first child Tuesday night, a boy named Draco Verta. He weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 oz. and takes his moniker – which means dragon – from the constellation of the same name.
"We are humbled, overjoyed and so grateful for this miraculous gift," McKellar and husband Mike Verta tell PEOPLE in a statement. "It's like we've only now just learned the true meaning of love."

Danica McKellar and her husband of one year, Mike Verta, are expecting their first child this fall.
"I'm nearing the end of my first trimester and I'm so excited – I've been bursting to tell people," says McKellar, 35, who played Winnie on The Wonder Years, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
However, she originally put off confirming her suspicions. "I was in the middle of a really intense deadline for my book," explains McKellar, whose third tome, Hot X: Algebra Exposed, comes out in August.
"I wanted to put off the [pregnancy] test because I didn't want any distractions. That only lasted a day – I couldn't stop thinking about it and I caved! You can't try to put that off."

Danica McKellar's Wedding: A Dream Come True

When The Wonder Years's Danica McKellar first started planning her wedding to composer Mike Verta, she had one wish: "I didn't want a huge event," she tells PEOPLE. "I wanted to be able to talk to everyone and I wanted it to be intimate."
At her recent wedding in La Jolla, Calif., McKellar's wish came true. The couple, who have dated for 7 ½ years, tied the knot in an ocean side church in front of 150 family members and friends, including her maid of honor, the bride's sister, Crystal McKellar, who played Becky Slater on The Wonder Years.
At the black tie reception, the newlyweds danced their first dance to a love song composed by Verta, before cutting the wedding cake: a triple-tiered creation with layers of devil's food and hot milk sponge cake with fresh fruit.
