Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh Get The Gold, Now They Want to Get Pregnant

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their second consecutive gold medal in beach volleyball yesterday. So what's up next for the duo, who have been playing together for eight years?

Babies.

Both May-Treanor and Walsh say they want to concentrate on their personal lives, specifically starting families. May-Treanor is married to Florida Marlins catcher Matt Treanor, and Walsh is married to fellow pro volleyball player Casey Jennings. Both May-Treanor and Jennings had agreed to put off parenting plans until after the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"I was putting everything into it as my last Games," May-Treanor said in an interview with the L.A. Times. "It's too far ahead to look ahead. I would like to come back and have my kids see me play. But I would like to start a new journey and see my husband too."

But don't count the gold medalists out just yet. "That was eight years of awesomeness and family support and love," Walsh said. "We both want to start a family. We need to slow down and breathe a little bit, focus on our families. I'm not done. I hope Misty's not done. I can't imagine playing beach volleyball without her."

Something tells me we'll be seeing these two in London in 2012, carrying diaper bags and sippy cups.
