Bode Miller’s wife shares ultrasound of baby boy taken days after daughter’s death

The wife of former Olympic skier Bode Miller has shared an ultrasound image of her new baby boy that was taken just days after their daughter drowned – as she remembered the toddler on what would have been her second birthday.

Morgan Miller shared the 3D ultrasound image on Instagram on Sunday as she opened up on tragically losing their 19-month-old daughter Emeline in California earlier this year.

Miller said she was advised to check on her unborn baby in the days after Emmy’s death in June and went in for the ultrasound. 

She said initially she didn’t want the 3D image of her son but the nurse took it anyway and it has since become a treasured part of their family.

Miller described seeing her ‘angel’ daughter holding her son’s face in the image.

‘When we walked out of the hospital without our Emmy, despair and uncertainty surrounded us. The parting words from the medical staff, in those early hours after we lost our baby Emmy, was to check on the baby in my tummy,’ Miller wrote.

‘So, five days after losing her, I reluctantly had the ultrasound tech come check on the baby growing in my belly… During the last ultrasound, my baby Emmy lay in my arms wondering what she was looking at on the screen. And, now, she was gone.

‘This time, I asked the tech to be quick. She asked if I wanted a 3D image to which I replied, ‘no’. She swiftly maneuvered the wand around my stomach, checking on all parts. 

‘As she viewed the baby’s profile, she told me, ‘I know you don’t want a 3D image but this is a perfect angel and I feel like I need to do one. I will be quick’.

‘As the screen switched over to 3D imaging, I saw my sweet baby’s face. He looked so much like my other babies: just like Bode with that sweet nose and those full lips. 

Morgan also shared the first two photos of her newborn son holding what appeared to be a necklace with his sister Emmy’s hand print engraved on it

‘But as quickly as I saw this new baby, my eyes moved to the angel lying to the right of his face, holding him, arms around his neck. Almost as if to say, ‘It’s okay. I’m here. It’s going to be okay. I love you’. 

‘I hold onto this picture as a clear sign that my son knows his sister. That my baby girl Emmy is still with us. And now that our sweet baby boy is here earth side, he now holds her.’

The heartfelt post came just hours before Miller paid tribute on Instagram to Emmy on what would have been her daughter’s second birthday. 

The Millers welcomed their baby boy on October 5. They are also parents to three-year-old boy Nash Skan. Bode also has two children from prior relationships: a 10-year-old daughter Neesyn and five-year-old son Samuel.

The couple’s daughter Emmy fell into a neighbor’s pool in California on June 9 and was pronounced dead in hospital.
