“Warrior woman & every day, my hero.”

The couple announced their pregnancy in February, just one month after David passed away of cancer.

In another cartoon Tweet to his 300,000 followers, the expectant father wrote, “1 month since dad died today. Made this card for him at Christmas. Due in June. Circle of life. Love you, granddad.”

The film director and his wife let David reveal their unborn baby’s gender.

“When we found out what the gender of our baby was going to be, we were able to get the doctor to write it on a card without us seeing it and then I got to spend Christmas with my dad and he actually told us what the gender was going to be,” Duncan told E! News in May.

“We found the time to do all of the family stuff that we wanted to do, got a chance to spend some time together, have our talks and say our goodbyes and things like that.”
