McFarland's Miracles

We are so excited to be able to share a glimpse into our new lives as a family of four! Just to catch everyone up .....Preston and I met at Young Harris College where we returned and had a beautiful wedding. We enjoyed four amazing years of marriage and then found out that God had blessed us with a twin pregnancy! Little did we know we would be spending the majority of our pregnancy experience in the hospital, 93 days to be exact! We were so happy to be in very caring hands in the hospital at Emory at Johns Creek. All the hard work was made completely worthwhile the second we saw our Gracie and Bailey. Since bringing them home from the NICU our lives have changed alot it's not just the two of us anymore, we are a family of four!

I am proud to announce that I am officially a "stay at home mommy" after working in the amazing field of Hospice for the last five years. I will miss my coworkers and work greatly but feel as though these two little one's need their mommy at this time. Our days are hectic and usually start with making 16 bottles a day.

Mommy is breastfeeding but we put it in a bottle so we can feed two at once! We go through lots of diapers, around twenty a day. Nighttime can be trying with waking up around every three hours to feed but once we have our coffee it is on with the next day. We love watching Gracie and Bailey discover their world. Since being home Bailey has went from a birth weight of 3 pds to 7pds 14 oz and Gracie has gone from 3 pounds 3 oz to 7pds 7 ozs.

When it is warm outside we love going for walks as a family with our puppy dog Dixie. The twins have definitely starting establishing their own personalities. Gracie loves to be cuddled and has a little more of a demanding cry "she is a girl who knows what she wants." Bailey loves to play with his toys and is content just about anywhere or with anyone. We are excited about being able to have a new way to share updates and pictures with all of our friends and family.
