CONGRATS AXO ALUM!!!!
I so happy for you!!!! Beautiful name by the way ;)

When is he due?

Congratulations to you, Mr. AXO, and lil' Eli! :D Eli's comin' like the song!

Congratulations! I also love the name--my brother's name is Elias, which is the Greek derivation of Elijah. Its a name that packs a lot of history and meaning behind it!

Is the morning sickness improving? And are you still able to see your toes? ;)

Congratulations to you and Mr. AXO!!!! August will be such a magic time!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Congrats sister, I am so happy for you!!!!

did you get my last PM?

Congrats AXO, email me and I will send the bib right on down. And got the rec letter covered someday too. By that time I will probably be Knight Commander, lol.

Congrats!!!!!!!! I love the name!!!!!

Allison

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival!
I can only imagine how special everything must feel right now!
I love the name!

Congrats! But I do have to disagree with my most esteemed friend, KABM. That kid has "chopper" written all over him. Seeings how my grandfather was a KA, it wouldnt be the WORST thing in the world if he went the way of KA...

Seriously, I am so excited for you! yeahhhh

WONDERFUL NEWS!

I LOVED being pregnant (well-most of it)! I had the strangest craving for TOBASCO SAUCE! Maybe that explains why my kids have firery, passionate personalities!LOL! It's the ONE time in your life you can eat anything-EVERYTHING- sweetly smile and say, "I'm eating for two you know." Of course, it looked like I was eating for the Packers!
...and little boys-Oh, litle boys love their Mommy sooo much!

*thanks*
 

I appreciate all the lovely thoughts from everyone :)

Let's see if I can answer all the questions...

AggieAXO - no, haven't received a PM from you lately

bucutie - he's due on my birthday - Aug. 19

greeklawgirl - no morning sickness after the 12th week (thank heavens - that was AWFUL). I can still see my toes, but touching them is another issue... :D

Unfortunately I have severe bronchitis at the moment, and am being watched for signs of pneumonia. The bronchitis developed from a cold that my manager brought to work. Can I just say this loud and clear to everyone:

IF YOU ARE SICK, USE YOUR SICK DAYS -- DO NOT COME INTO WORK AND GIVE YOUR GERMS TO EVERYONE!! ESPECIALLY NOT THE PREGO-LADY!!

(thank you)

KABillyMac - I will email you as soon as I can stop coughing long enough to type. Thanks!! And I am sure that you will be present for his big day :D

Lifesaver - take it up with Mr. AXOAlum -- he is hell bent that no son of his (or daughter if he had it his way) will be Greek. Oh well, we'll just see about that :D

JAM - no cravings as of yet -- actually, I have been loving the pickles, but I loved those before I got prego. Normally I cannot eat anything spicy - even the mild salsa at Mexican restaurants is too hot for me. Well, with this nasty stuff I have right now, I haven't been able to taste ANYTHING. I was actually eating jalepenos on Saturday, and didn't have a clue! Guess that tells you how yucky I feel.

I am SUCH a Sunday Redneck (ie, NASCAR fan) and I just had to find a way to go to the race last week, so I ended up paying $85 each for tickets (Darlington Raceway SUCKS by the way - save your money for a better stadium). So there I am at the shopping mall trying desperately to find a maternity racing top for Tony Stewart (# 20 Home Depot!) -- anyway - couldn't find one of course, so I ended up buying a bright orange maternity tee-shirt. Too funny! Well Eli apparantly isn't a big race fan yet. As soon as they cranked up all the cars, he started banging away on my bladder. I think I spent more time in the potty than watching the race :D
