"She is super excited to be a mom and we speak several times a day about every little beautiful thing she feels as the baby grows — sending me daily pictures and monthly/weekly check-ups," she adds.

In her interview for Allure's June issue, the mom-to-be talked about how she shared her pregnancy news with husband Bader Shammas.

"I was so unexciting,” she recalled, laughing. “I walked into the room, I threw the test down. I was like, ‘Guess what?’ He goes, ‘We are?’”

Sharing her excitement for motherhood, the actress admitted she's been shedding a lot of "happy tears."

"That's just who I am,” she said. “Though now, it’s probably baby emotion. It’s overwhelming, in a good way.”

“I can't wait to see what the feeling is and what it's like to just be a mom."
