Olympian Kerri Walsh: It's A Boy!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:03:00 GMT

Olympian Kerri Walsh and her pro volleyball player husband, Casey Jennings, are expecting their first child and they know what they are having - a boy! The soon-to-be parents have named their bundle of joy...any guesses?

Find out after the jump!

Joseph Michael Jennings is expected to make his entrance later this month, and the mom-to-be told PEOPLE, "I am beyond excited. It's more beautiful and more special than I ever thought possible."

Kerri, 33, announced her news in December and said this pregnancy is "extra special" to her.

"We had been wanting to have kids for a long time and tried to get pregnant before Beijing but had a miscarriage. It was sad, but the way it happened I had to wait at least a year before trying again. Then we got pregnant literally first try, day one in Beijing after we finished. Beijing baby. It was an inspired conception!"

The athletic couple wanted to be surprised and not find out the sex of their baby until birth day, but changed their minds.

Walsh explained, "I filled out this letter to Casey saying 'Merry Christmas. We have a beautiful baby ---- on the way' and I had the doctor fill it out. So neither of us knew at that time. My mom got the letter framed and we opened it on Christmas and found out together. It was the last present we opened and the best. I was so overwhelmed, everyone freaked out."

How sweet!

Have they decided if they'll one day give their son a sibling or two?

"Absolutely," said Kerri. "We want at least three kids. I want my boys and a girl, I want it all! But I want to keep working because I love my job so much. I just need to learn how to be a good juggler and we'll get it all done."

Kerri sounds very much like an excited mama! Congrats!

US Volleyball Team Knocked Up

With gold medalist Kerri Walsh set to deliver her first child next month, Misty May Treanor "trying" to get pregnant, brand new mother Rachel Wacholder, and coach Danalee Bragado Corso delivering a baby last week, it's like the whole US team is awash in babies.

Kerri Walsh is due in May, and though she knows the sex of the baby, she's not telling anyone. According to her, the hardest part of the pregnancy so far has been to slow down, since she's used to kicking her butt in the gym everyday. Apparently, she intends to have at least two more babies, maybe three, while continuing to dominate beach volleyball.

“No one told me what happens to your butt and that truly frightens me. I need to get back into a Speedo!”

As for Kerri's partner Misty May, Kerri had this comment: "I know she's trying, and that's all I'll say."

Rachel Wacholder Scott (formerly Kerri's partner) and her husband Sean Scott welcomed a baby boy, Koa Daniel Scott, on April 3rd. Compound that with coach and trainer Danalee Bragado-Corso's baby last week, and the US team is having a baby invasion.

Is this going to hurt our chances for gold in the London games? Ha!

Kerri Walsh and Husband Expecting First Child

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Olympian and gold medalist Kerri Walsh is expecting her first child with husband Casey Jennings. "I'm chubby and I'm pregnant and it's awesome!" says Kerri, half of the winningest beach volleyball team on Earth. She and her volleyball partner Misty May-Treanor announced after the Olympic games in China that they'd be focusing on starting families.

Seems Kerri was already a mom-to-be during the summer games, because she's already 16-1/2 weeks pregnant. "Well, the way they date pregnancies is a little bit confusing," Kerri says. 'We believe we conceived during our last days in Beijing, or about a couple of days after we wont the gold medal." So much for the myth that Olympians don't have sex during the games.

"We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, and we aren't trying to find out. We have a feeling it's a boy, but we’re going to find out the traditional way." Kerri is loving her new curves. "I think the chubbiness is all relative, but it's for the very best cause in the whole world, and I'm proud of it."

And what about Misty May's babymaking? "I know she's trying," Kerri says. "And that's all I'll say."

Ah yes, how I love making babies. Well, the part that leads up to the babies, anyway. I'm too old for a baby nowadays. I'd have to buy stock in Red Bull.

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

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 23:05:00 GMT

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.

Going For Gold-Up Next, Babies

trix — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:22:00 GMT

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh are going for Olympic gold again. I have been watching the Beach Volleyball portion of the Olympics and have been amazed at the level of play and how quickly it seems they are plowing through some of the competition and of course, the fact that they look awesome in those tiny little bikinis.

I was watching the other night and heard the part of their story in which the announcer talked about their desire for kids and I was enjoying the match too much to be bothered to get up and write about it, so thank you LA Times for doing that.

Both women have expressed the desire to take a little time off from tournament play to work on the next big project, getting pregnant. When asked about future plans they said, "hopefully, we'll both be pregnant. Pregnant, but with two gold medals.

Treanor said, "I don't want to throw the R-word in there, but I mean, I haven't had a kid, I don't know," May-Treanor said. "Priorities change, and it's tough what we do, traveling internationally and domestically, and if I feel like I can come back two years down the road or whatever and want to give it a go, great."

The women are well on their way to their way to a second gold medal but did say that, "the greatest accomplishment of all is having a baby,"

Here's hoping they keep on the path of winning gold medals and we'll throw some baby wishes their way.
