Three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings now has a child to go with each of her three gold medals.
Walsh Jennings and husband Casey Jennings welcomed a girl named Scout Margery. The Jennings followed the unique name trend they started with their sons, Joey and Sundance.
Scout was born on Saturday at 7:46 am weighing in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces and measuring 20¼ inches long.
Walsh Jennings and Scout are home, “healthy and resting,“ said a rep for the family.
Walsh Jennings posted on her Facebook page, as well as twitter, a mere hours after she gave birth.

Walsh Jennings has remained very active during her pregnancy, training
at the gym and in the sand and stated in January that she would announce
her partner for her run at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
“I just want to make sure
my heart’s in it. I think this will be the last baby that I have and I
just don't want it to be a sprint like I did after my last two,” Walsh
Jennings said in January.
Walsh Jennings stunned many after announcing she was in fact pregnant during the London Olympics last summer when she Misty May-Treanor won their third gold medal.
“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,” Walsh Jennings told Matt Lauer on the "Today" show in September.
May-Treanor tweeted a congratulations to her former teammate.
Yeah
— Misty

Though Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor played in their last match together at Horse Guards Parade in London, both have promised to stay in each other’s lives.
"I think we learn so much about everything outside of volleyball. That’s what this Olympics signified. It was the journey off the court together, and it’s something we’re never going to forget and we’re going to be in each other’s lives forever,” May-Treanor said.
Walsh Jennings said: “I think the world knows that (May-Treanor) is the most genuine, amazing woman in the entire world. One in a billion.”
The Jennings family will be debuting photos of Scout Margery in the April 17 edition of People Magazine.
