Presents for my Lil one!

Aww! It's approximately 26 weeks until we meet our Lil blessing and we are already being showered with love and gifts!!! I'm so excited about it all!
Being a brand new soon to be momma, it's a great feeling to be showered with love and great wishes from people. Not too long ago I was able to meet in person a sweet friend that I met through instagram (social networking is wonderful!) The sweet @beautybee met up with me while I was in New York and gave me my very first baby gift! I was so thankful and my heart melted. She also got us a sweet card for our "little star!"

My wonderful pastor's wife also sent us a Congratulations card as soon as she heard the news...how thoughtful!

And one of my good friends is letting us borrow her adorable baby bassinet and it's perfect for either a boy or girl, being that we still don't know what we are having.

I'm all the more excited about our upcoming Gender Reveal Baby shower that we will be going home to Florida for in June (hopefully!) Yay!! My baby isn't here yet but is already so loved! I'm a proud soon to be momma!





Can't wait until our baby shower....btw, we have already begun our baby registry and OH MY was that interesting! We were both so exhausted & overwhelmed by the end of the night. Hahahaha!! 
Oh the joy of things to come!

Well hello there baby bump!!

I'm quite excited to see the weekly growth of my baby bump. It is still something that is so very new and strange. [I am a bit freaked out by the whole thing still!] But excitement rises daily, especially when I get to see how excited my hubs is!
 It was a little rough in the beginning, I lost a bit of weight but now I'm starting to finally gain...YAY! So far it's only been 2 pounds but my doctor says that I'm doing well :D
Just wanted to share a few pics that I'm loving! Here is #babybonilla!!






I must admit....I am so freaked out that this coming Monday I will be 16 weeks [4 months!!!] OH MY!! 
I hope that it doesn't fly by so fast that I hardly get to enjoy it! 
I'm working on educating myself daily but you know how it is, you are never truly prepared for a new journey until you are fully emerged into it. 
Blessings loved ones!

A New York style Wedding!

It's been way too long since I went to a very New York wedding and OH MY are they gorgeous! While in New York I attended my cousin's wedding. It was so much fun and so beautiful! My cousin is, of course, Puerto Rican and his beautiful bride is Russian....this makes for a very cool combination. We enjoyed a wonderful evening of love, laughing, eating, dancing, eating, photo booth fun...and.....more eating! It's so great to be around all my family, all having a blast. Definitely the most memorable wedding ever! See for your self ;)

New York...My secret love affair!

What's not to love about New York city!!! Ahhhhhhh!!! I was born in Brooklyn, NY. I can never get enough of this place really.... It's been 2 years since the last time that I went and can I say I was ecstatic to visit again?!?! So I visited for a week and spent such a lovely time with my sister and my mother. It was perfect! Walk, shopping, and eating around the city is so therapeutic. If you've never experienced it then it is a must do! Well, enough chattering, enjoy my pics of the city :D!
