Lots to Celebrate!
We had lots to celebrate this past weekend! Kaia turned 1 month old, and Josh passed the Bar Exam! We are so excited for both events and are feeling very blessed! We celebrated Kaia's 1 month by taking her to the mall and making her first Build a Bear! She got a bear with a little Hawkeye cheerleading outfit! We'll celebrate Josh's accomplishment on Friday after his swearing-in ceremony. Then he'll officially be an attorney! Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers throughout this whole process! We know they helped us through this whole process!!

4 Weeks Old!
Hi everyone! Kaia is 4 weeks old today! We can hardly believe it! It seems like time is going by so fast and it seems unbelievable to think she'll be 1 month old on Saturday. I'm sorry I haven't gotten any new posts up lately. It's so hard to find time to get online, and when I do it seems our internet doesn't want to work very well.
Things have been going pretty well. We had a routine going, but then this week it seems Kaia's been fussy at night and going to bed later. So we'll see if she goes back to her old sleep cycle or starts a new one. During the day she is staying awake a lot, which is great because that helps her sleep longer at night. We're still getting up twice at night to feed her. She's basically kept her same night schedule from her first 2 weeks when we had to wake her up every 3 hours to feed her. I think she got used to that and now still wants to wake up every 3 hours. However, during the day Kaia does a great job falling asleep in our arms when it's time for a nap, but has an uncanny ability to tell when we lay her down and thinks it's time to wake back up again! That has made it difficult to get anything done, especially get our own nap in!
I posted some more pictures on our facebook album:

I know some people have let me know they are unable to view the pictures. I wonder if turning your pop-up blocker off would help. You could also right click the link and open the link in a new window. Also, be sure to click on her name in blue underneath her picture. I'm working on trying to post some pictures to a different album that you might have better luck viewing.
We'll try to keep you updated as we have time!
