Britney Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, say they're "ecstatic" over the birth of their baby boy.

“We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son! Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you for all your love and well wishes!!” the couple said in a statement posted on Spears' Web site.

And since Access Hollywood was the first to report the birth on Wednesday, it's only fitting we give you even more new details about Britney's baby!

Britney and Kevin have named their baby Sean Preston and he weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces.

Britney arrived to the UCLA hospital at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning under heavy police escort with husband Kevin by her side. About an hour and a half later, mom Lynne and lil' sister Jamie Lynn showed up.

As far as her hospital accommodations – how does $20,000 per night sound?

A source tells Access that in addition to the pop star's fifth floor $3,000/night room that has a tented balcony, her family and security team take up an additional seven rooms on the floor.

The source also said that the healthy baby boy was born at 12:57 p.m. and that Britney's C-section scar is very small and very low.

Britney also has a private chef in a kitchen adjacent to her hospital suite that is there to make whatever she requests.

The rest of Britney's baby breakdown – Sean Preston has a head full of dark curly hair and mom Britney has begun breastfeeding.

And now that word of the lil' Spears has spread, Hollywood is offering their well wishes for the new mom.

“Congratulations Britney. You're going to be a wonderful mom,” Carmen Electra said.

“Wow! I still can't get over it,” Ashanti told us. “She's kind of like my peer. We're the same age. I couldn't imagine having a baby right now, so congratulations and good luck.”

The baby is the first child for the 23-year-old pop star and Federline, 27, who has two children (Kori, 3, and Kaleb, 1) with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.

Just before Thanksgiving last year, Britney posted a letter to fans talking about her desires to take a break from music and focus on motherhood.

“I've had a career since I was 16, have traveled around the world and back, and even kissed Madonna! The only thing I haven't done so far is experience the closest thing to God, and that's having a baby. I can't wait!” she wrote.

It's also been a busy week for Brit on the professional level.

On Thursday, she released her new fragrance, “Fantasy.” She says it was created with “all kinds of enchanting scents” including “lush red lychee” and even a “hint of cupcakes, white chocolate and jasmine.”
