And baby makes FOUR!

Good News! I am pregnant again! My doctor is saying my due date is March 31, 2009 (an Aries baby), which makes me now 12 weeks (so I feel comfortable sharing the news with everyone). So far, I am feeling pretty nauseous and taking medications throughout the day and night. On the good side, this time I will be "big" pregnant through the winter.... cold weather and big clothes - Yippee!

MIA

For those whom do not know, Ivan lost his job at the company he started with when he moved to Utah at the beginning of August. Therefore, I was working 4 nights a week, while he stayed home with Allison. I have been so busy between working and sleeping and being cranky that I have been EXTRA PITIFUL with returning phone calls and I ask all those whom love me to forgive me. Well, I am now working only 3 days a week again and I am starting to get a life back. Even better, Ivan just got a job today!!! He will be doing corporate billing for a genetics company in Salt Lake City - thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. Life is getting back to normal and I hope to talk with all of you soon!!!

And of course..... Go Gators!

Beware! For those that are faint at heart...

Here are Eric and Ivan tossing Allison back and forth. Of course Allison loved it and was laughing (as long as she was facing forward), I'll say it again .... looks like we have a daredevil on our hands!

She's Walking

I broke down and brought Allison this cute shopping cart for a walker. She loves it and all the toys, music, and lights - this is not the shopping cart walker I had. For all of those far away, you can see her development. As you can see, she is not so good at turning it yet!

1st Camping Trip

A few weeks ago, a few of the Chatterley families went up to Strawberry Reservoir for an overnight camping trip. Jared, Carson, Creede, Jill, Eric, Ayden, Ivan, Jenna, and Allison all enjoyed the outdoors and got REALLY dirty (Lori and baby Tess came up for the day but didn't say overnight). It was a bit "white-trash" camping but we had a blast! We had hamburgers for dinner and smores for dessert over the campfire, thankfully it didn't get too cold in the morning. Enjoy the pictures!

Eric and Ivan picking up wood. We made fun of how much wood they collected, but we ended up using it all.

Allison loved the fire. Thankfully we didn't end up with a barbecued Allison.
OUT LIKE TROUT, snuggled up and warm!

Sitting around in the morning, trying to wake up after the little girls woke up the camp with their squawking.

Sitting around the campsite, the little chairs were perfect for the kids.

Our little dirt-rocker!

Cutie Allison! She looks so big. Our little baby is gone!

I'm a growing bigger

Allison went to the doctor today for her 9 month check-up (but she was 10 months.... another inconvience of moving - switching doctors). Dr. Hurley was great and of course she was charming - until the shots came. She screams and cries so hard for a few minutes and then she is fine. Ivan has to come with me to the doctor because I CANNOT hold her down - I am off in a corner trying REALLY HARD not to cry. I am NOT a nurse when it comes down to my own family.

Her 10 month stats:

• Weight - 18 lbs 2 oz - 40th percentile


• Height - 29.25 inches - 90th percentile

So Allison is a tall lean girl. I don't know where this girl is getting her height, but I NEVER expected a tall baby. Ivan says there are tall genes in his family - but if you know the Chatterley's, I don't know who he is thinking of.
