My Name is Earl star Jaime Pressly, 29, gave birth Friday morning to a baby boy, Dezi James Calvo.

According to Pressly's rep, Dezi was born at 7:31 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He weighed in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces, and is 18 1/2 inches long.

It is her first child with fiancé Eric Cubiche, 32, to whom she has been engaged since last October.

Pressly found out she was pregnant on September 8, after taking nine pregnancy tests to be sure.

The actress told Us Weekly, "After the first one, Eric said, 'Really? Take another one!'"

The couple told Us that they were planning to name the baby "Dezi James" -- even if it turned out to be a girl -- because of the couple's longstanding joke in which Cubiche calls out, "Luuuucy, I'm hooooome!" whenever he comes home, a la Desi Arnaz in the television show I Love Lucy. (Cubiche, like Arnaz, is of Cuban descent.)

Pressly initially denied media reports that she was pregnant because she was only one-and-a-half months along and was worried about miscarriage. "I lied and lied and lied!" she said.

When she was four months along, the actress told Us that it so far had been an uneventful pregnancy.

"I live off Tylenol," she confided. "The mood swings you can't do anything about. You want to stab people and you don't know why! I'm still tired. You wake up sleepy."

Cubiche, who works as a deejay, proposed to the actress on October 17 after a year of dating, but the couple has not yet set a wedding date.

The actress has said that she plans to drop those post-pregnancy pounds by her next birthday on July 30th. "I want to lose the baby weight by my 30th birthday!" she told Usmagazine.com in November. "Three weeks after I have the child I'll be back in the gym 4-5 days a week two hours at a time."

Indeed, last week a very pregnant Pressly confided to Us, “I can’t wait to get my body back.”
