We got to welcome the newest baby Strickland this morning! I had a C-section this morning that went for the most part well.....no complications. And boy what a relief to have the baby come out and hear that first cry. So this is Emme Rose Strickland.
















She was born at 7:56 am. She weighed 7 lbs. and 15 oz. and 21 inches long. She looks just like Anna and Cam when they were born. We can already tell she has an easy disposition about her. She loves to eat and suck on things ( at 5 minutes old she was sucking on two of her fingers). The kids went to Target and bought her a gift. Anna got her a nice, soft cozy blanket and Cam bought a light-up musical monkey. We are so blessed to have her in our family. More pics to come and hopefully video!
