update, update, read all about it! :)

So I have news!!!
I got 2 job offers!!!! 1 of them is the independent contractor, full-time, work from home job and that's the one I want!!! The other one is a good opportunity but full time in a office and not what I want.....but I'm using it as leverage on the other one for a few things I want. But we are very excited and thank goodness the orientation out of town is now not until Apirl and not until the 2nd week.....so thank goodness it doesn't start in 1 week or this week like originally thought! Daddy will take care of baby and the frozen breast milk will come in handy. :) I'm excited this is working out.....a little nervous about starting back at work....but realize this is what I want (well maybe it's more hours than 25-30 hours like I thought would be great) but it's a great opportunity. The company is a good one and the 2 people i interviewed with both mentioned "work-life balance" so that's an incredible sign. Since I'll be a contractor some weeks may be more than 40 and some a little less....but they did say they see themselves busy for a long time and some of the contractors have been with them for 9-10 years....so good long term potential! So horray on that!

Last week out of town with my parents was fun and the weather was great. We got a little mommy/daddy time and got some 60-70degree weather as we played on the beach. :)

This week my grandma is visiting so V is getting time with her! Horray and so fun!

Weight loss- I thought my post last week about the 3 lb loss was going to be a fluke bc the very next time I got on the scale (less than 1 hour later) the scale went back up so I don't know what's going on.....maybe major water weight flucuations.....or who knows......but this week I'm between 175-176.5 in the mornings. I seem to loose more when I don't work out (like over the 2weeks when I was sick and then while out of town last week) but I don't want to be squishy forever.....so how do you loose weight and tone up???? Can it happen again or is do I need to wait for serious progress until after I'm no longer BFing??? I get frustrated reading about other people loosing SO much weight bc of BFing bc that is not happening to me.
I know I'm not far from my pre-preg weight but I've worked hard and now the work isn't helping....SO what to do folks??? Any ideas? I'm at a crossroads? I hear it can be hard to lose the last 5-10lbs while BFing but heck........And I need to get my butt in gear if exercise is the key....bc heck it looks like I'm back to work come 4 weeks.

V is fabulous!!! She's now 5 months and 5 days old!!! We sang to her on her b-day. She's so cute!!! Such a little person! People stop us all the time and tell us how happy she is!! And she is, literally the happiest baby I've ever met! :)

Well that's it, but don't forget to tell me your thoughts on weight loss while BF-ing.
