Her name is Mom.

Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, welcomed a baby boy named Dezi James on Friday, the actress' rep confirmed to E! News.

The newborn weighed in at a healthy six pounds, four ounces, and measured 18.5 inches long.

"This kid is gorgeous!" the new mom enthused through her rep.

Pressly, 29, first announced that she was expecting back in November after initially denying pregnancy rumors fueled by her costar, Jason Lee, who told E! Online's Awful Truth in September that Pressly was "gonna be a great mom."

"I was only one month pregnant, so I lied—which is a woman's right," the My Name is Earl star told Jay Leno after finally breaking the news on the Tonight Show.

The baby was named "Dezi" after Desi Arnaz, in deference to Cubiche's habit of calling out, "Luuuuucy, I'm ho-ome," upon walking in the door, and "James" in honor of Pressly's father.

The new parents announced their engagement in October after dating for a year and a half, but have said they are in no rush to get married.

"I do want to be a princess for a day, but it's not necessary to do that before you have kids. A lot of women do it later," Pressly told People last year.

In addition to her role on NBC's Earl, the Emmy-nominated actress designs her own line of clothing, J'aime.

With all that, plus a baby on board, who could blame her for putting off the wedding for a while?
