Kerri Walsh Jennings Was Pregnant During Olympics

Kerri Walsh

Congratulations are in order — again — for Olympic volleyball player Kerri Walsh Jennings.

The three-time gold medalist, who most recently competed in the London games this summer, appeared on the Today show Monday with her husband Casey to share some unexpected news.

"When I was throwing my body around fearlessly and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant," Jennings said. "Today I'm 11 weeks pregnant and feeling ... pregnant."

Jennings said she had more than an inkling that she was expecting during the Olympics, but decided to compete anyway.

"I'm like clockwork, and I'm a pretty happy girl, and I was unreasonably moody," she told Matt Lauer. "I thought it could have been the stress of the games, and travel kind of throws your schedule off a little bit, but ... no, I knew."

The couple already have two sons, and Casey said they have a strong feeling this one is a little girl.

All the best to the growing family!
