Erik Spoelstra is going to have a nice offseason.

The Miami Heat Coach’s wife, Nikki Sapp Spoelstra, announced this week that the couple are expecting their third child. Sapp made an Instagram post letting everyone know that she’s almost halfway through the pregnancy. She posted a bunch of pics with the announcement, two in which you can see her pregnancy bump and two photos of the Spoelstra family.

“Half way there with lots to celebrate,” Sapp wrote in the post. “Excited to announce a new addition to our family arriving this fall! #momof3.”

See her announcement below:

The former Miami Heat Dancer followed that up with a Tweet promoting her podcast:

“The Know with Nikki Spo,” with a photo of herself that read: “I’m having a GIRL!” She also said the podcast was about her “fear of becoming a mom, specifically a girl mom.”

Spoelstra first met his wife when she was a dancer for the Miami Heat but they didn’t reportedly begin dating until after she left the team. They have been married since 2016 and have two boys together.

Congrats to Spo!
