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."

Candace Parker on Expecting and Expectations

Candance Parker is ready to be a mom, which is probably a good thing since she's already announced she is pregnant.

Candace said she always wanted to be a young mom and was inspired by the fact that she had older parents to be a young mom.

How so? She says that because she had older parents, she missed out on their careers. She would have liked to see them at the height of their careers and believes that it's a wonderful gift that she can give her children.

Hmmm. Here I've done everything I can to be able to stay at home with mine and she says it's a wonderful gift to share. It must depend on the career.

She wants to be able to return quickly to be able to play basketball when the season starts in May. This is the same month that she is due, what if she has to have a c-section, or her baby is late by a couple of weeks?

There's something that happens when you become a mother that changes the best laid plans.

We shall see what happens.
