Baby shower #2

Yesterday I was given a baby shower by some of Tony's aunts and cousins. Lots of family and friends came. It was so nice! I had two of my mission companions drive down and another friend come, it was so sweet of them to make the drive! Instead of playing games they decided to tie blankets for this little girl, I thought that was so creative!
Baby girl got lots of diapers, blankets, cute clothes and a lot of other things that are going to be so helpful to have once she's here. I am so grateful for people's generosity! There are so many things that baby girl wouldn't have had that I know she will love(or I will love for her!)
Because of how generous people had been we were able to order our stroller today! We found it on sale and had a promo code to get a free rain cover and free shipping. It'll be here on Tuesday! We also now know the few things we still need to get before we're entirely ready for this girl to join us. I'm hoping to have everything by the end of the week so Ivan just finish organizing. The baby's room is also kind of our storage room right now so it makes it a little difficult to get it how I want to. It's coming along though.
We found out that we're getting out of our lease early...we have to be out at the end of may.....perfect timing since that's a week after my due date. We'll see how that goes. So now we're trying to find a place to live and also trying to find someone to watch the baby once I have to go back to work. I'm trying to be patient and trying not to get stressed, but I'd be lying if I wasn't worried.
I started training a new girl on Monday for when I go on maternity leave. She'll be taking my place then when I get back she'll be assisting a couple of the loan officers. It's a lot to teach her and the first few days I was really stressed, but it's getting better. I'd love to train her for a couple more weeks and then I'd be okay for this baby girl to come early. The first weekend in may would be okay :) if not then, if she came on her due date it would be perfect timing for us to make two trips to San Diego before I have to go back to work(one hopefully to bless the baby in my parents ward because Tony's parents will be in town and my brother conor will also be in town and I don't know the next time I'd get to see him).
I still have a little over a week until my next dr's appointment, but I'm looking forward to getting an update on what's going on and also being able to hear our little girls heartbeat again.
I didn't take many pictures at the shower but I'll post the few I did.
My friend Kelsi gave me a diaper motorcycle, Tony's grandma make me a diaper cake and I got pictures with my two companions Sister Ireland and Sister Ence and then my friend Kelsi
