<p>Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines announced on Saturday that she and her husband Louis Barker were expecting their first child — a girl — due in September.</p>
<p>Gaines shared a photo of herself standing with Barker and one of her horses as she held up an ultrasound photo of the baby. &#8220;Surprise! Baby GIRL coming in September,&#8221; she posted, adding several baby-themed emojis. &#8220;God is so good all the time.&#8221;</p>

<p>A fierce advocate for young girls and women — particularly in athletics — Gaines said she believed it was &#8220;providential&#8221; that she&#8217;d soon be bringing a young girl into the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s something so special and providential about having a little girl,&#8221; Gaines said. &#8220;She&#8217;s everything I&#8217;ve been fighting for &amp; the little girl we&#8217;ve prayed over for years 🩷 praise God!&#8221;</p>

<p>Gaines spoke about the pregnancy — and her daughter — during her appearance at the Young Women&#8217;s Leadership Summit as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel this baby, this young girl kicking around in my stomach when I’m lying down to sleep at night. I see the baby’s tiny little hands, her tiny little feet on the ultrasound. I listen to her heartbeat ever since that first eight-week appointment,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And guess what? It&#8217;s just like yours and it&#8217;s just like mine.&#8221;</p>
