Welcome Charleston Mae Louie

On our way to the hospital

Branden and Mary

38 Weeks!

Just a quick update. I am now right around 38 and a half weeks! We are trying to be patient but can't wait to meet Charleston. Also I am sorry to all of you (including myself) who wanted a little St. Patrick's Day baby it just was not in the cards.

38 weeks

24(ish) weeks
What a massive different a couple months make :)

36 Weeks.....only 4(ish) to go!

We are now in the home stretch. We are now just finishing up the last little details. Last week was our last childbirth class at Maine Med which I am wicked glad we took. Also we have the diaper service all lined up and Charleston's bag packed for the hospital. Its hard to believe she will be here in less then a month. On a side note as of yesterday Portland,ME had received some where near 90 inches of snow this winter! I can't wait for spring(mud season)!!!

We are ready and just waiting

For Charley to join our family.

We had another fun weekend with family. This time we had a baby shower with family in Maine. Also up for the weekend were Jamie and Danielle and Jen.





While up, Jamie installed Charley's amazing mural on the wall of the nursery which sparked us to finish up the nursery. All that's left are the curtains that I (Branden) have to make and few photographs to frame and hang.





If anyone is interested in an awesome mural like the one in the pictures, please go to his site. Jamie is itching to do more custom murals and is looking for clients.

Week 33

Sorry we have been slacking off yet again!

We were in the beautiful mid Atlantic last weekend for Chinese New Year. My parents got to come down with us too which made it extra special.This is Pam and I in the restaurant. If only you could see how many people were taking these pictures :) Pam is due 11 before me and I (like the rest of the Louies) can't wait to meet Landon Andrew. While we were down there we also had our baby shower! It was so wonderful getting to see everyone and spend time with them!
And this is a picture from tonight week 33 + 4 day!

We should be done with Charleston's nursery this weekend so I hope to get pictures up next week. Also if you have any pictures from Chinese New Year or the shower can you please email them to me. Thank you!!

Week 30!

Sorry we haven't updated a while its been a busy couple weeks in the Louie house! Last weekend my cousin Clark got married and it was beautiful. Here are a couple pictures of most of the Carter cousins at the wedding
.

Also this weekend was Grammy's 80th Surprise Birthday Party! It was wonderful and it was great to see everyone. Also we got 14-16 more inches of snow which Bran and his back are not to happy about. Moxie on the other hand thinks its the best thing ever! Here is the belly picture for week 30. I can't believe only 10ish more weeks to go.

Welcome to the new post
