She’s here!
On September 27, 2022, the most precious baby girl was born, Rose Kristine Soileau! Everything went perfectly. Our surrogate was amazing. I cut the umbilical cord. After all the tests and a bit of clean up, Rosie came straight to me for skin to skin. The two days in the hospital were a blur butContinue reading “She’s here!”
Hopefully some answers to your questions!
Hello! We are officially 32 weeks! I can’t believe how quickly time is flying. Since I haven’t given an update in a while, I figured today was a great day to update everyone.

There were several reasons why. I’m not sure if we think all the reasons are good enoughContinue reading “Spoke too soon”
Starting Over
It has been a long time since an update so I figured I’d let Baby Soileau’s Fan Club know what is going on. A lot and, at the same time, nothing has happened over the last several months since the last update. After the February update about the miscarriage, it took a very long timeContinue reading “Starting Over”
Our First Loss

In fact, today would have been the start of the second trimester. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Here’s what happened: RightContinue reading “Our First Loss”
We’re DUE
….for an update! Ha! Got ya, didn’t I?! First, I’d like to apologize for the lack of updates.

In July, we submitted our final informationContinue reading “We’re DUE”
