Her husband re-shared the post via Instagram Story, echoing, 'A blessing from God. Love you and the newest addition to our family.'

She told People she felt a bit sick at the start of her pregnancy, and has subsequently partnered with the pediatrician-founded health brand Zarbee's.
'As first-time parents, we've been doing our homework and being super intentional about everything that will go in and on our little one,' she said, adding, 'With our baby arriving in November, right when cough, cold and flu season kicks into high gear, it was important for us to be prepared.'
And the brunette beauty said she's feeling much better as she settles into her pregnancy.
Taking precaution before sharing the news with loved ones, the Knoxville, Tennessee native explained, 'We waited until I was around 12 weeks, once I started feeling a bit better.' Influencer Victoria shared the moment Hannah told her that she's expecting, complete with a personalized wine label that said she was 'promoted to Auntie'
'The first trimester was all about rest and sticking to the basics — work, walks and taking care of Dash,' she said, referencing the couple's dog.
'I had a lot of food aversions, and almost everything tasted off except fruit (which I've always loved!).'
Now, Hannah and Jake are thinking about what special name they will give their baby.
'We've started talking names and love the idea of choosing one that's meaningful and tied to family in some way,' the expectant mother stated.
