annika LPGA Star Annika Sörenstam: Its A Girl!

LPGA star Annika Sörenstam is pregnant with her first child and she and husband Mike McGee are thrilled to know they are having a little girl!

Annika writes:

“Mike and I are happy to announce that we are going to have a little girl.  To use golf terms, we just ‘made the turn’ from a timing standpoint and are very excited that everything looks good so far.”

Husband Mike, a few days later, wrote on the blog:

“We are really excited about her and the fun that lies ahead.  I think it’s almost fitting with everything Annika has done for women’s sports and the inspiration she has given millions of little girls!” A self-proclaimed “disaster” in the kitchen, Mike went on to share that he recently made chicken noodle soup for Annika that left her stomach churning — in more ways than one!

“Later that night when we went to bed, Annika said that she thought she felt a kick. Sure enough, we held her stomach and it was the first noticeable movement our little one has shown us. It was a very cool moment.”

Annika has gained just 12 pounds so far with her pregnancy and is staying fit with lots of exercise, but has had to make a few changes.

“I think I am going to the pool to swim some laps,” she writes.  “I have changed my workout routine since life on tour, especially being pregnant as I feel a little limited with regards to what I can and can’t do.  However, swimming has no impact and I don’t feel the extra weight around my belly.”

She and Mike will welcome their daugther this fall.
