United Kingdom, July 21 -- Law and Order's Odelya Halevi is expecting her first child.

The 37-year-old actress - who plays Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun in the NBC legal drama - and her husband, real estate agent Aaron Mazor, cannot wait to welcome their baby girl into the world in December.

Odelya told People: "I found out I was pregnant the traditional way - peeing on a stick. It was the day after we wrapped season 25 of Law and Order, and looking back, the signs were definitely there.

"I had spent the entire week casually wandering into the producers' office and helping myself to all the chocolate they had sitting out, which is very unlike me. I remember thinking, 'Who is this person?' And then it hit me.'"

The beauty...
