Kerri Walsh’s Baby Girl Finally Arrives
Kerri Walsh welcomed a baby girl into the world with her husband, Casey Jennings. The Olympic gold medalist gave birth to Scout Margery Jennings early Saturday morning, according to her rep.
Both Kerri Walsh Jennings and Scout are “healthy and resting.” The Olympic volleyball player and her husband, a pro-volleyball player, added that they feel “so blessed to have this beautiful new addition to our family.”
A statement by the couple added, “We cherish our lil Scout already and can’t wait to watch her as she grows in this world alongside her sweet big brothers.”
Kerri Walsh’s new baby girl joins brothers Joey, 3 1/2, and Sundance, 2 1/2. Kerri first announced the news on her Facebook Saturday morning, proclaiming, “She’s here! She’s here! She’s here! Our precious baby girl is finally here!”
Unbeknownst to her, Kerri Walsh Jennings was already five weeks pregnant with Scout when she and partner Misty May-Treanor paved their way to victory during the 2012 London Olympics. She announced her pregnancy on the Today show a month later, telling Matt Lauer:
“When I was throwing my body around fearlessly, and going for gold for our country, I was pregnant, and today I’m 11 weeks pregnant.”
She added that she didn’t know she was pregnant at the time. However, Kerri Walsh suspected a baby was on the way because she felt “unreasonably moody.” But thankfully her strenuous trip to the 2012 London Olympics — and subsequent gold medal — didn’t harm little Scout.
It is also likely that the three-time gold medalist will be back to volleying in no time — and may even teach little Scout a thing or two about her mom’s favorite sport. Kerri Walsh received congratulations from her volleyball partner, Misty, who wrote on Twitter:
Yeah Scout Margery Jennings.Congrats to my teammate @kerrileewalsh & the new addition to the Jennings Fam. Luv u!
