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!

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.
