PEOPLE exclusivelyannounced Morgan’s pregnancy newsin May.
“We’re finally on our last pregnancy,” Bode said at the time as Morgan added: “We’re at the finish line.”
“After losing Emmy, we both felt like we wanted to try for a girl. You know, there’s obviously no replacing kids,” Bode shared. “All of ours are so unique that it’s always a surprise, but then we had the identical twin boys [in 2019] and we were kind of like, ‘Whoa, maybe, maybe that’s the end for us.’ "

Morgan, who learned she was pregnant at three-and-a-half weeks along, said, “We constantly knew that we had more space in our hearts to give more love. Kids require a lot of attention and a lot of love. We have a lot of attention and a lot of love to give, but we feel like this will be the last one for us to be able to put all of ourselves into. So that way, all of them still get a bunch of love and attention. And we’re not stretching ourselves too thin.”
As their family expands with the new addition, Emmy will always be present in their lives as Bode said she “still feels very much like a part of the family.”
“She’s still very much around us. She sends signs all the time and we would be doing a great disservice to our family to not actually still have her being a part, an active part, of the family because she very much is. The lessons that we learned and the memories that we share in the love that never goes away,” Morgan added.

In June, Morgan opened up on Instagram aboutincorporating her late daughter’s namein the moniker for their new addition.
“Most of our kids have family names too or names that have meaning,” she continued, “so we have been toying with the idea of incorporating some part of Emmy’s name; Emeline Grier Miller V.”
