Los Angeles Sparks star Candace Parker is expecting her first child with her husband, Minnesota Timberwolves forward Shelden Williams, this spring. And another first - the WNBA player is the first pregnant woman to be on the cover of ESPN magazine.

“We don’t do a lot of female athletes on the cover. Candace has made it more interesting," says Gary Belsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine. "She’s got Adidas, McDonald’s and Gatorade as sponsors; that’s a pretty strong big three. But it’s still tough to put a woman on the cover for us.”

Parker's cover is certainly a coup, since the target audience of ESPN magazine is the 18-34-year-old male.

While the mom-to-be is excited about her cover girl status, it's her other upcoming event she's gushing about. "I’m proud of my child...and I’m excited about the opportunity to have a child and be an athlete," Parker says. And she certainly isn't sitting this pregnancy out on the bench. "I'm working out three or four times a week. The hard part about being an athlete is learning that when you feel tired you can’t push yourself."
