Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay, 42, gave birth to a baby boy Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. It is her first child with her husband of almost two years, actor Peter Hermann. The baby boy weighed in at 10 pounds 9 ounces and was born a week after his expected due date via C-Section, a hospital source tells Us. Hargitay’s father, actor Mickey Hargitay, and brother were at the hospital as well.

The couple met on the set of Law & Order: SVU. Hermann, 38, appeared most recently in the film United 93. Hargitay won a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series in 2005 and as well as the 2004 and 2005 Emmy Nominee, and 2004 Screen Actors Guild Nominee for Lead Actress. She is also the daughter of the late screen siren Jayne Mansfield.

Hargitay’s rep could not be reached for comment.

And the name *drum roll*

Mariska Hargitay and her husband, Peter Hermann, welcomed their first child, a son named August, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The baby boy, who was born on Wednesday at 3:21 p.m. in Los Angeles, was a week overdue and weighed in at 10 lbs. 9 oz.

"Mother and baby are doing wonderfully," Hargitay's rep, Leslie Sloane, tells PEOPLE. "I just talked to her and she is ecstatic – over the moon."

Hargitay, 42, who plays NYPD detective Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, met Hermann, 38, on the NBC show, where he has a recurring role. The couple wed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in August 2004 in front of 200 guests.

Making plans for the baby's arrival, Hargitay told PEOPLE in April, "I want everything ready so that when he comes it'll be all about him." That meant stocking up on "soft, fuzzy things. I want him in swaddles and blankets."

As for staying in shape while she was expecting, Hargitay did prenatal yoga, rubbed Belly Smooches cream on her stomach – and dreamed about two off-limits pursuits: "I'm looking forward to taking a bath and going for sushi!"

Still, the first-time mom said she loved being pregnant. "I can't wait to meet this child, but I also don't want it to end," she told PEOPLE last month. "I feel more beautiful and goddessy than I ever have."

Hargitay's mother is '50s blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield, who died in a car crash in 1967. Her father is Hungarian bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay.

The baby's name is August Hermann. No word on a middle name.

[trubluSVUfan]

I was hoping the article would divulge a middle name, but I guess a first name is all for now. Question is, will his official name be August Hermann (like it said on Mariska's blog), August Hargitay, August Hermann Hargitay, or August Hargitay Hermann?

Why in f***s name would you want to know the middle name? I don't give a toss what it's first name is..
