This is called independent probability. Just because the first two kids are girls does not change the probability of the next childs gender. 
So it is 1/2 or 50%. 
The chance of all three kids being girls is the same as tossing a coin thrice and having heads all 3 times. Thus it is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
