Daxton is such a sweet little boy! He always has such a happy, pleasant look on his
face. He has been smiling the last few days and he is only three weeks old.
We feel so blessed to have such a sweet little boy in our home. Dyson and
Savannah just love him.



Dyson doing, what we call, crazies.


Of course, our little princess.

Introducing Daxton Clark Lish

Here goes for the sequencing of events leading up to the birth of our beautiful son, Daxton Clark Lish. Monday 09:30 PM I leave Kalisa at the hospital to stay overnight at our place with the kids as she awaits a bed on L&D. Midnight, Kalisa is finally settled in her room and given the Cervidil. 03:00 AM Kalisa is dialated to a 3. 05:00 AM - Kalisa cannot take the pain any longer and opts to have an epidural. 06:45 AM - Kalisa is now dialated to a 7 so she calls me at home to inform me that I best get to the hospital ASAP or else I might miss the birth. 06:46 - Ed wipes the fog out of his eyes and calls the Dayton's to come over and watch the kids. 07:05 - John Dayton pulls into the driveway and Ed tears off to Suburban Hospital. 07:15 - Ed runs a few stop lights and defies the law as to not miss the birth of his son. 07:16 - Ed arrives safely to the hospital and runs from the parking lot to L&D and is relieved to find Kalisa hasn't delivered. 07:30 - Dr. Gallego shows up and turns the Baby so he is anterior. 07:45- The Dr. breaks her water. 07:56- Kalisa starts pushing (one push I might add). 07:57 - Baby Daxton arrives to us safely! What a day, huh!

What a little chunk, 7 lbs. 11 oz, 20 1/2 inches long!

Finally, one of our kids has some hair and it's dark!

Yes, Kalisa still looks amazing even after being up all night and giving birth to our third child.

Around noon John & Angela Dayton brought the kids to the hospital to see their new brother. Dyson was on cloud nine!

Daxton's exhausted after taking a bath and being poked & prodded.

Yep, it's a boy!

All of us admiring Daxton's hair.

Kalisa relieved to have this little guy out of her belly after 10 months.

Surprise, Surprise Still No Baby!

Yes, tomorrow is my due date and you guessed it, I still haven't had the baby. I went to the doctor today with high hopes and I was disappointed to hear that I am still only dilated to a one. So I tried to convince my doctor to induce me this weekend where Ed wouldn't have to miss as much time with school, but she wasn't about to budge. Now the plan is for me to go to he hospital Monday night to get induced. We hope to be proud parents once again sometime on Tuesday. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Wish me luck!
