Calvin Eugene Thile — whose middle name honours Claire's late grandfather — was born earlier this month in Portland, Oregon, the actress' rep told People.

'Cal has already made great strides in the arts of eating, sleeping, and pooping,' the couple told the magazine. 'We are heads over heels in love.'

The 35-year-old actress, who plays Adalind in Grimm, revealed in January she was pregnant.

She showed off her bump at a SAG awards party a few days later, which she attended with Chris, 34, a member of the Punch Brothers.

Conveniently, her pregnancy was written into the plot of the fourth season of NBC's dark fairy tale.

Talking about finding out she was expecting, Claire dished to People: 'I’m not a patient person and I didn’t realize you had to wait 10 minutes for the double lines to show up on those little pregnancy tests. Later, I was taking out the garbage and I saw these little pink double lines in the trash.'

The proud parents found out they were expecting a baby boy in March but they had difficulty choosing a name.

'We’ve been having trouble finding names that we both like that are acceptable with the last name of Thile because my husband doesn’t want it to be too cutesy,' she said.

But there are some benefits to having a baby boy, the blonde told Mini Magazine.

'It meant that my husband would be the one tasked with doling out puberty advice. I was also immediately excited about the baby bow tie possibilities,” she said.

Chaire and Chris met in June 2011 and tied the knot in December 2013 at the picturesque and upscale Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee.
