Danica McKellar, the actress who played Winnie Cooper on “The Wonder Years”, and her husband of one year, Mike Verta, is expecting her first child. They said that they are expecting the baby 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 years old. “I wanted to put off the 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 herself couldn’t believe the news at first. “When you do take the home pregnancy test, it doesn’t quite seem real,” said the mathematician and mom-to-be. “But when you see the baby and the heartbeat on the ultrasound, it’s so incredible.”

McKellar, who went on to study mathematics at UCLA after her time on the “Wonder Years,” is the authored the books “Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail” and “Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who’s Boss.” Her third book, “Hot X: Algebra Exposed,” comes out in August. 

There you go people, The Wonder Years actress Danica McKellar is pregnant!
