Rustan’s Welcomes Baby Henri

Rustan's Welcomes Baby Henri (2)

 Congratulations to this beautiful and lucky Mommy Carla ( Sabs Hernandez ). We were both confiding in each other and sharing tips on how to get pregnant and both of us never did. I gave up already but Carla has been trying to have a baby for 4 years. And last year she already took it seriously and had two options. One was to follow the doctor’s advice to lose weight and second option was to do IVF. She did the first option first and she did lose 40 pounds and soon after that she got pregnant!!! Truly in God’s time. Soon she is scheduled to give birth to her first child named Henri. So so happy for her!Rustan's Welcomes Baby Henri (15)

 Today I was again adopted – this time by Carla’s group of Beauty bloggers. I am the only Foodie here but I feel more special because they thought of me even if I am not part of the group and mostly because Carla is the sister of my sister in law, Margs. We were at the Raffles Makati today for the #RustansWelcomesBabyHenri baby shower.
