Megan Hilty and her husband Brian Gallagher welcomed their first child, Viola Philomena, on September 18, and Hilty just took to Twitter to post the first picture of her adorable bundle of joy (the "bundle" in the photo was a gift from fellow theatre star Eden Espinosa).

Hilty wrote: "Hard to believe it's already been 4 weeks with this angel! #VI-uh-la photo cred: @cbp22 blanket cred: @EdenEspinosa"

She previously starred as Lorelei Lee, the diamond-loving blonde made famous by Carol Channing,in the Encores! production of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
