Morgan Miller said she felt the presence of her late daughter through her pregnancy and the birth of twin boys in November.

Bode Miller's wife, Morgan, said that although they lost their 19-month-old daughter, Emmy, in a tragic drowning incident, she's not gone.

Miller told People that her daughter, who died in June 2018, was with them throughout her pregnancy with identical twin boys and during a delivery in which Bode and his mother helped bring them into the world after the midwife's late arrival.

"Talk about divine intervention with this entire delivery," said Morgan, 32. "There’s no question in my mind that she had her hand in all of this. She’s still very much here."

Morgan said she appreciates people who wished her well on the Nov. 8 birth of the twins, who haven't been named yet, according to People. She also appreciates people remembering Emmy.

"It’s been really special because everybody celebrates this with us, but they also at the same time remember Emmy," Morgan said. "And that makes it special that she’s not forgotten."

The couple also are parents to Easton, 1, and Nash, 4. Bode is dad to daughter Neesyn, 11, and son Samuel, 6.

Morgan was pregnant with Easton when Emmy died.

"Losing a child while pregnant was the most confusing experience of my life," Morgan wrote in an Instagram post. "The conflict of emotions from what was pure joy turned to guilt and terror overnight. How could I love this baby the way I loved Emmy? Was it okay to love this baby the way I loved Emmy?"

She continued: "But let me say this .... I couldn’t have been more wrong. Easton provided us an even closer bond to his sister. The moment I heard his cry, something sparked back alive in my soul. Hope. Love. "

These days, the Millers are not struggling to give one more baby love but ALL their children individual love and attention, which is no more challenging for any mom of multiple children, Morgan said.

"It’s finding a way for them to still get that one-on-one time," Morgan said. "That’s the same for one newborn versus two newborns. But other than that, a baby’s a baby. They eat, sleep and poop."
