"Bennett Lloyd Strickland - born April 20 at 10:12 pm. 7 lbs 4 oz and 19 3/4" long. Absolutely perfect!" Our second oldest daughter is not showing any prejudice with her FaceBook post about their new baby. As we came on our mission we realized that there would be events with our family that we would miss out on, but we had a strong desire to serve. We likewise realized whether G'ma and Papa were there life would still happen and be alright.
Wendy was really ready for this new little one to come and was so excited when they scheduled to start her today. Now for the big but, when they called to find out what time to go to the hospital they were told that there were seven medical inductions ahead of her and it might not happen today. She was so relieved when they called and told her to come in at 11:00 a.m..
Things did not move as quick as Wendy would have liked and we were wondering if her oldest son was going to get his way. Roman told his mom that Bennett should be born on the 21st because his birthday is the 19th and Hudson's is on the 20th. We checked with our daughter Becky at 10:30 p.m. Salt Lake time, she told us there was nothing new to tell us, so she was going to bed.
The first picture that we received of Bennett and Wendy, they both looked absolutely exhausted. It was a good thing that it was night because they both needed some rest, we will have to see tomorrow if they got any or not.
Our greatest joy is our family. With each new addition our love just continues to multiply. We feel totally blessed. We will have plenty of time to spoil them when we get home.
