“We are thankful to be carrying a miracle into the world! Baby, you are already loved and already believed in," Robertson wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo of her alongside Huff holding her sonograms. "Can’t wait to welcome you into the world with all the joy, hope, and excitement you will bring into the life of so many by your miraculous incredible life.”
