Olympian Kerri Walsh and her pro volleyball player husband, Casey Jennings, are expecting their first child and they know what they are having - a boy!  The soon-to-be parents have named their bundle of joy...any guesses?

Find out after the jump!

Joseph Michael Jennings is expected to make his entrance later this month, and the mom-to-be told PEOPLE, "I am beyond excited.  It's more beautiful and more special than I ever thought possible."

Kerri, 33, announced her news in December and said this pregnancy is "extra special" to her.

"We had been wanting to have kids for a long time and tried to get pregnant before Beijing but had a miscarriage.  It was sad, but the way it happened I had to wait at least a year before trying again. Then we got pregnant literally first try, day one in Beijing after we finished. Beijing baby. It was an inspired conception!"

The athletic couple wanted to be surprised and not find out the sex of their baby until birth day, but changed their minds.

Walsh explained, "I filled out this letter to Casey saying 'Merry Christmas. We have a beautiful baby ---- on the way' and I had the doctor fill it out. So neither of us knew at that time. My mom got the letter framed and we opened it on Christmas and found out together. It was the last present we opened and the best. I was so overwhelmed, everyone freaked out."

How sweet!

Have they decided if they'll one day give their son a sibling or two?

"Absolutely," said Kerri.  "We want at least three kids.  I want my boys and a girl, I want it all!  But I want to keep working because I love my job so much.  I just need to learn how to be a good juggler and we'll get it all done."

Kerri sounds very much like an excited mama!  Congrats!
