Man I have not posted in forever! Either because I am taking care of my little turd or attempting to sleep! And sorry there are no pics they are all on matts computer and he took it to school. Porter is getting so big so fast! I'm going to be the first to admit that I do not quite enjoy for the newborn stage. Ya they are cute and small and everything but boy was Porter a HARD newborn. He was super colicky. He was either sleeping or crying. And not the cute baby cry but just screams of pain. I felt so bad for the little man. He just wanted to be held constantly. And he was constipated like no other! Anywho things have gotten SO much better. He is on soy formula and acid reflux medication which I think helps a ton.
My favorite thing in the world is his little smile. He smiles and laughs and actually interacts! This morning matt fed him then woke me up to give him to me cause he had to go to school and I was not thrilled to have to get up so early but right when he handed porter to me I looked down at him and he just smiled behind his binky and I was no longer tired. I love this kid and I can't even remember life without him. Now I am just anxiously awaiting the day when he sleeps through the night. (I have a feeling i will be waiting for a LONG time).
So my baby will be 3 months on the 28th of this month and he is a ginormous 9 lbs 6 oz. (0% for weight haha). This kid is just tiny. The dr has been worried so he did all these tests on Porter and everything so far has come back normal. Porter is not the best eater so maybe that is why he wont gain weight I am just hoping there is nothing wrong with him and hes just a tiny mr. He is still in newborn clothing and diapers. I am looking forward to the day when I dont have to keep buying dang newborn diapers.
Motherhood has been amazing and I feel so blessed to be a mom but man it is hard work. It's like once you have a baby you have this instant connection and understanding with other moms. When I am up in the middle of the night with Porter I just think about all the other moms who are up at the same time and I dont feel so alone! I have so much more respect for moms then I ever have and I have so many wonderful examples to look up to.
So to sum it up here are the top 10 things I have learned as a mom this far:
1. Breastfeeding is so much harder than I thought and it's not for everyone. Do what's best for you.
2. Pampers are way better than huggies
3. It's ok to cry right along with your baby, it makes things easier. o and binkys are the best invention ever!
4. constipated babies are no fun
5. facebook is amazing for asking mom questions
6. i could never be a single mom, my husband is my saving grace
7. pumping sucks
8. cutting baby nails is so scary
9. Baby smiles make everything ok
10. You can function on 3 hrs of sleep

Porters Birth Story
Yes, Im alive and well! And even though I am not due for another 2 weeks I have a sweet baby boy in my arms! I can't even believe I have a baby! So crazy and so amazing! So here's how it went down...
Matt and I went on a baby-moon on April 25th to a hot springs resort a couple hours away. I remember thinking "wow, soon we are going to be parents and this is going to be our last outing alone together." Boy was I right. We got home thursday afternoon and were busy getting ready for matt's family to visit for the weekend. I started having some cramps and just assumed they were braxton hicks. They became more painful as the night went on but I told myself there is no way I am in labor, he's not due for another 3 weeks! Friday I called into work and said I was not coming in cause I was up all night in pain. Friday we ran some errands and I tried to be a good sport since matt's family was here. Friday night same thing, but the cramps got worse. I called the birth center and they basically said that if I was in labor it's best to labor at home as long as possible. I still didn't think I was in labor. The contractions were all over the place and not consistent. Anyways come saturday I was in PAIN!! So at 5 pm we decided we would go in and just check to see if I was even dilated. I told myself to not get my hopes up but I said if I was only dilated to a 1 I was going to murder someone.
So the nurse put monitors on me and checked and said I was dilated to a ...... 5!!! Yes a 5!! I was in shock! I was halfway there! The rest went so fast it almost seems like a blur. I called my mom and told her they were admitting me! She freaked out and booked a flight for the next morning! They admitted me to my room and asked if I wanted an epidural. Duh, that wasn't even a question! I was super nervous for the epidural because I am not a fan of needles but it was probably the best part of the whole thing! After that I figured I would just sleep for a couple hours and relax but no. The dr. came in and broke my water and checked me and I was at an 8! My epidural was not quite working on my left side so I asked if I could get more meds cause the contractions were starting to get painful again. The nurse said yes but Ill just have the dr. check you one more time before we give you more. The dr. came in and checked me and instantly said okay you need to push! WHAT!?! I started freaking out! This was really happening! So before I knew it I was pushing and pushing and pushing and those 20 minutes were harder than I had ever imagined. The dr. had to use a vacuum because baby was not very happy so I pushed one last time and poof! A sweet baby boy started crying! It was so surreal and amazing I can't quite describe it. I looked at Matt and we both had tears in our eyes.
Our sweet baby boy weighed 5 lbs. 15 oz and was 19 inches long. Even though he was so tiny he did a doozy on my cha cha but I'll stop there! He has big hands and feet but the rest of him is so tiny. For being 3 weeks early he was as healthy as could be and I could not be more grateful! I just need to fatten him up so he fits into his newborn clothes!!!
We had lots of family and friends come to visit and we feel so loved. My mom got in the next morning and has been with me all week. She has been a life saver and I'm gonna die when she leaves! Thank goodness for moms right!? This little guy has turned my whole world around. Its a big adjustment, harder than I thought but more amazing than I could have ever imagined. Right now I feel like the milk cow but once we get that down we will be set. I love my little boy.

Another catch up......
Well I find myself playing catch up again! I am 31 weeks and I feel like time has flown by! Im excited for the little boy who keeps kicking me to come into this world but at the same time Im not sure I am quite ready......I will never feel 100% ready! I had an amazing baby shower in Montana and in Utah and I got spoiled!!! The baby room is almost done so I will post pictures eventually. Here are some facts lately:
1. my belly is measuring small for 31 weeks but the dr said I have gained enough weight that she is not worried.....now this does not make me feel good. Im glad that everywhere is getting big EXCEPT for my belly! go figure!
2. I feel like I have chubby little boy hands due to all the swelling.
3. It is amazing to see my belly moving from the outside. So cool! you gotta try it.
4. At this moment I am more excited to be done with work than I am to have a baby......thats how bad I hate work!
5. I am enjoying my big (well bigger) boobs....but the big belly gets in the way so its a win, loose situation :)
6. I eat every 5 minutes and I eat what I want cause if Im gonna get fat Im gonna get fat eating what I want!!
7. I think we have decided on the name Porter David Snarr. His middle name was going to be Matthew but then Matt realized his initials would be PMS. Good catch Matt. So its David after my wonderful dad.
8. Is is weird that I am totally worried about how my dog is gonna take to the new baby? Ha ha I know I'm a crazy dog lady but she's my first child.
Here are some pics from our trip to utah!

Freezing my buns....
It is currently -9 degrees in Billings. I do not think I have ever felt such cold in my life. I took oakley out to play and by the end she had icicles on her whiskers and I had them in my nose. And they do not plow the roads here which is bad news for someone who is not very good at driving in the snow! I look forward to the day when we will be outta here! Until then I will have a good attitude.
I have been busy with work and working on the babies room! My wonderful friend Jocey has volunteered (or I might have volunteered her) to make my baby bedding and I can't wait to see the finished product! I am 23 weeks and it feels like time has flown by! I can't wait to meet the little guy. We have a couple names picked out but I wanted peoples opinion on them so please cast your vote!!
1. Hudson
2. Porter
3. Liam
4. Graham
5. Owen
I love them all so his name might just have to be hudson porter liam graham owen snarr. Hope everyone is well!!

Baby Baby
I have decided I am just not cut out for this blogging thing. I am SO bad at it! So here's the latest. We spent christmas in California with my family and it was so much fun lets just say I cried at the airport cause I did NOT want to go back to Montana haha. I blame it on pregnancy hormones! While in California we went to San Francisco for a couple days to shop and see the grinch play! My wonderful and creative mother came prepared with homeless kits to give to the homeless we saw on the street. Isn't she just amazing!? haha At first we were a little embarrassed to give them this kit of stuff when they asked for money but they were so grateful for what we gave them. I hope to be like my mom when I am a mom because she amazes me everyday.
I am 22 weeks now and I feel really good other than my hips killing! I have bad hips like my mom i guess. We had our ultrasound and the baby is nice and healthy and a BOY! Surprise surprise! The Snarr curse....I mean tradition lives on haha. We are excited fort this little boy! Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed thinking of being a mother. Does anyone get like that? Its such a HUGE responsibility and I feel like I still need my mom so how can I be a mom? I am sure we all feel inadequate at some point right? Anyways thats all thats happening right now besides work for me and school for matt. Matt is done with school at the end of the summer then he starts rotations and we are out of Billings! YAHOO! I am still expecting lots of visitors when the babe comes :)!
Baby with his legs over his head. looks comfy.....

Big Sky Country
Hello from Montana! Well it has been a crazy busy couple of weeks so I am just now getting the time to fill all you in on whats been going down. Warning, it will be a long post. So we moved in to our house on June 25th with the help of Matt's wonderful family who helped us hang everything so it looks like we have lived here forever! It's great! I love my house! So much room and privacy! It's probably my favorite thing about Montana so far haha. See my pictures posted below.
I started work on Monday the 27th. Needless to say it was the longest day of my life. I work at a HUGE dental office. 4 doctors a day, 6 hygienists a day, and i can't count how many front desk and assistants there are. We communicate through ear pieces. I work 3 days a week/13 hour days. Yes, 13 hours of cleaning teeth. My hygiene friends understand how crazy this is. Anyways I thought I would go in to work and be trained on the new software, protocols, papers, etc. because all of it is so different from what I am used to. NOPE. I was booked with patients all day long and I didnt even know how to turn on the computer. I guess there was so miscommunication with the employees. So I pretended as best I could and went to work. Some people maybe did not know what I wasnt trained on anything and were not the nicest. So a combination of not knowing what to do, mean people, pms, and exhaustion from moving equals......yep you guessed it! CRYING!! I cried on my first day of work! It is not like me at all and I was so embarassed but all I could do was cry. I know people talked about it after because the next day dentists I hadnt met yet were coming up to me and saying "so i heard you had a rough first day." O great. Anyways, things are getting better. I'm getting use to the long hours, crazy protocols, and "constructive criticism".
Enough about my job. Matt is SO busy with school. When they said I wouldn't seem him they meant it. He's gone all day at school, comes home, eats dinner, and then he's off to studying til bedtime. What a life right!? It hasnt been too hard yet because I went to California for a wedding last weekend then my mom, sister, and grandma came to visit so I havnt' had a dull moment yet but I'm sure this not seeing him thing is gonna get old real soon. He really likes it though and has met a couple guys who are lds in his class. We are having a bbq on saturday so I can meet their wives and maybe make a friend or two :)! Since I do not know onc single person in Montana except for my husband and my doggy. Anways I will fill you in on my fun weekend getaway to cali on my next post cause my hubs needs to use the computer for studying...go figure.

Tomorrow is the big move
Tomorrow we are packing up our ghetto little place and moving to Montana. When I tell people wer are mopving to Montana the only response I get is "Montana!? whats in montana!!". My thoughts exactly. I am excited, scared, sad, and overwhelmed all at the same time. I excited for a new adventure, job, and place to live but I am sad to leave all my friends and family and life in Utah. Lets face it....who wants to come and visit Montana? So I know I will be saying farewell to some dear friends for awhile until we move again to hopefully somewhere where people actually WANT to visit :). I have a feeling these next 2 years are going to be some of the hardest but best times of my life. Ready or not its coming so I just hope I can have a positive attitude about everything. If you ever find my complaining on my blog please remind to to stay positive haha! Thanks to all my friends who have been there for me and made life fun. I will miss you guys more than you know but you have not gotten rid of my yet! I will be back! :)

Blessed
Our lives are FINALLY coming together and we feel so blessed. We found a cute little house to rent in billings that has a fenced backyard for oak and allows dogs! I had an interview when we went there last week to look for places to live and just found out yesterday that I got the job! I was so worried about money and how we were going to afford things and I still am but now I know that we will at least have some income coming in! Matt still is in the process of applying for scholarships through the air force and navy so we still dont know about that but it is nice to have some big things out of the way! We move June 24th and I start my new job on the 27th! It is such a blessing that everything has worked out so far. I know its because of paying tithing that somehow we always have just enough to make it through. I am scared but excited for our new adventures in Billings and will miss all the wonderful friends I will be leaving behind in Utah.
Now it is time for a funny story. So when we were in billings we stayed at the most ghetto hotel ever! No lie. I will post pictures soon and you can see for yourselves. Anyway we were laying on the bed watching tv after a long day of looking for places to live and I see a bandaid on the bed. I ask matt "were you wearing a bandaid today"? He replied "no, why"? I get a horrified look on my face and say "because there is a bandaid on our bed and I wasnt wearing one either"!! Nasty!! So the whole night we were freaking out about what else wasnt clean in our room and how nasty everything was. So in the morning I was putting on my fancy shoes for my interview and looked inside and saw that i had put bandaids on the inside heel so they would not rub and sure enough one of the bandaids was missing. Needless to say I felt a little bit better about staying there but would NOT recommend it to anyone! haha

St. George Weekend and Easter!
Im so lazy at downloading pictures but I have finally done it now so I can post. We had an AMAZING time in st george with the bells and jacobsens. We stayed at an amazing house and the pool was literally 5 steps away. We laid out a lot and ate and played games. It was much needed and a great pre-vacation to the cruise we will be taking with them THIS MONTH!! Can't wait! For easter Matt and I just stayed home and relaxed and dyed easter eggs. We thought about hiding eggs for our dog to find but that would just be a bit much! :) Enjoy the pics!

poor pais got sick but she was a trooper
sexy arnt we!?
easter sunday
oak hates pics
our beautifully dyed easter eggs!
Hope everyone has a great sunday!

Having the blues....
It is suppose to be spring here in the great state of Utah......not so much. I hear no birds, i see no green grass, the sun is not shinning bright out in the sky with cherry blossoms on the trees. There is snow on the ground, grey clouds blanketing the sky, and wind blowing against the door. Im done with winter utah, i want spring! I will be the first to admit that I get seasonal depression. It's depressing being locked up inside all day because you dont want to freeze if you step outside. Then I look up the weather in Cali where my parents live and that dosnt help much either. Wishing I was in cali right now thats for sure. But there is hope on the horizon! We will be taking a little trip to St george this weekend with the Bell's to some better weather.... 80 DEGREE WEATHER!!! Yes! I cannot wait to lay out by the pool and wear flip flips and capris! That is what I am looking forward to this week!!
going from this
to this!! :):)
Be jealous!

~!FRIENDS!~
How great are friends?! I have so many great friends from so many places that I have met at different times in my life. Elementary school, high school, college, hygiene school, my ward, and those random places! I appreciate all the memories I have because of my friends. Some friendships fade a little, some stay the same, and some grow stronger but they are still all my friends. I like to think that I have the most wonderful friends in the world! Cause I do!! Everyone needs friends to laugh with, vent to, and share life with. Friendships take a lot of work and sometimes it's not easy but it is well worth it in the long run. Of course my husband is my best friend but I really think it's so important to have other friends to turn to. I am grateful for all my friends and the love they show me. Take time to get together with an old friend or see how they are doing. I know all my friendships will last forever. Thanks for being my friend friends!

Happenings
I thought I would write since I havn't in awhile. Here are the latest happenings....sorry no pictures I am to lazy at the moment!
-We are going on a cruise to mexico in may, I am counting down the days. So excited! and Matt has never been so I am even more excited!
-We are waiting to hear back from the navy if Matt will get a scholarship for PA school. I will be happy/nervous at the same time if he gets it. We are also still looking into the airforce so I will keep you posted.
-My dog fell out of my car while I was driving and I think we are both scared for life. Haha she has a couple scars and patches of hair missing but I think she's fine. I will not be rolling down my window anytime soon.
- Now that I know where we are moving I am antsy to just move already! I want to enjoy my last couple months in Utah but ya know how it is when your ready for the next phase of your life. Once I get there I will probably be wishing I was back in Utah but that's just how I work :)
- I have been sewing a lot lately. I will have to post pictures soon! I probably go to Hobby Lobby once a week to get new craft stuff. That store is the most amazing place ever. Thank the heavens that they have one in Billings.
-Thanks for everyone who reads my blog/stalks me. I feel loved!

My favorite music
I love music. I love how certain songs can remind you of certain times, moments, people, and experiences. It's like a type of journal in a way I guess. I have always said that if I had three wishes that one of them would be to have my life be put to soundtrack so there's always a song playing for every occasion on my life like in the movies. I mean how great would that be!? Except for the scary times in life cause I don't like the scary music. Anyways I just wanted to share with me fellow peeps my top favorite songs right now and of all time.
