Former actress Danica McKellar, who is most remembered for playing Winnie Cooper on the hit show ‘The Wonder Years,’ delivered her first son on September 7, PEOPLE is reporting. McKellar and her composer husband Mike Verta named their son Draco, who weighted 7 lbs., 2 oz., and both mother and son are healthy.

McKellar, who is now a mathematician, and Verta released a statement to PEOPLE, saying “We are humbled, overjoyed and so grateful for this miraculous gift. It’s like we’ve only now just learned the true meaning of love.” The couple married in March 2009, and announced the pregnancy earlier this year.

Since she was finishing her third book, ‘Hot X: Algebra Exposed,’ which was released last month, McKellar said she put off taking a pregnancy test because she 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,” she added.
