On the final day of filming Law & Order season 25, Odelya Halevi, who plays Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun, got some pretty big news. The 37-year-old actress found out she was expecting with a home pregnancy test.

“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,” she said.

“I remember thinking, ‘Who is this person?’ And then it hit me.”

Odelya added that she wasn’t prepared for just how emotional pregnancy would make her. The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but every moment has deepened her connection to her baby girl.

“During my first trimester, we were moving into an apartment that we had spent almost a year renovating. It was something I had been so excited about,” she said.

“I suddenly hated everything about it. I knew it wasn’t rational. I knew I had been counting down the days until we moved in, and I knew I was overreacting.”

Odelya Can’t Wait to Be a Mom

The most heartwarming part of her journey came just recently. Feeling her daughter move for the first time brought an overwhelming sense of joy and wonder.

“Just a few days ago, I felt her kick for the first time. I don’t think there’s a way to fully put that feeling into words.

Knowing there’s this little life growing inside of me, and now actually feeling her move, creates a connection that’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” she said.

“It’s a beautiful reminder every single day of why all the challenges of pregnancy are worth it.”

She added that she is looking most forward to seeing the sweet baby in person. The anticipation of meeting her daughter grows stronger each day.

“I can’t wait to meet my little girl. I already feel like I know her in some ways, and I’m so excited to finally see her face, find out who she looks like and get to know what I can only imagine will be a big personality,” she said.

Odelya and her husband, Aaron Mazor, will welcome their baby girl in December. She said she and Aaron both wanted a baby so badly, and their daughter is a huge blessing.

The couple’s excitement radiates through every word as they prepare to become first-time parents together. Their journey into parenthood is just beginning, and the love they already feel for their little one is unmistakable.
