Laila Ali is expecting her second child with husband Curtis Conway. The former boxing champion and Dancing With The Stars announced her pregnancy in a video message to PEOPLE Magazine on Wednesday.

“I am pregnant again! I’m three months, and I’m so excited, my family is excited,” Ali exclaimed. “I’m hoping it’s a girl this time!”

Laila and Curtis married in July 2007 and already have one son, Curtis Jr., 2.

“Pregnancy isn’t ‘I can eat whatever I want,’ because you have to remember you’re going to be stuck with a lot of that weight afterwards that you need to try to get off. So I don’t recommend ‘grubbing.’ I have cravings all the time, even when I’m not pregnant. I made a strawberry shortcake last night. It was great.”

While Laila is indulging only a few early pregnancy cravings, the athlete is noticing changes in her well-crafted physique much earlier this second time around.

“I’ve noticed I’m putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner,” she explains. “Staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former world-class athlete such as myself, because you just don’t have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I’m able to.”

Ali says her famous father, boxing great Muhammad Ali, is overjoyed about being a grandpa again.

“My dad is an excellent grandfather. He loves kids. He loves to kiss them to death.”

Laila, 32, is due in April
