Finch, who announced she was pregnant back in August, previously spoke on her excitement about baby number three.
“We are so thrilled to be expecting our third — and a sweet baby girl,” the Olympic mom said at the time. “We were so excited! I love my boys, and I just didn’t feel like I was finished having babies, so this pregnancy is truly another blessing. We’re so grateful for our family as it is, and to think that it will grow even more this winter is amazing.”
Since retiring from softball in 2010, Finch has gone on to co-author a sports book and has appeared on The Real Housewive’s of Orange County as well as The Celebrity Apprentice.
