An overwhelming feeling of joy started to fill a valley of deep grief and sadness. ... Morgans fingers grasped onto their son, who filled such empty arms, midwife Lindsey Meehleis said, per Today.

The baby is the pairs third child together. Miller also has two children from a previous relationship.

The Millers announced the pregnancy on Instagram in April, just months before Emeline slipped through a back door and fell into a neighbors pool . She died the next day.

Morgan, a professional beach volleyball player, said in July she wrestled with the prospect of giving birth after such a tragedy.

Besides the fact of never being able to see my daughter again, it was, every time, how am I supposed to bring a new baby into this world without with just losing my baby? she said.

Morgan said Emeline walked around all the time with her baby. And now we have the opportunity to get to love that baby not only for ourselves, but for Emmy.
