The day finally arrived last week Tuesday when Odette and I were able to go to our first Baby and Me yoga class! Our doctor recommended that she have her first round of vaccines prior so we had to wait until her 8 week appointment before we could begin our yoga regime.
I have to say that the class was a bit surreal for me because it was at the same studio that Olin and I took our classes and even our same instructor, Mary. It felt like I was just there taking that class with Olin and now there I was with another baby. I know this probably sounds silly, but often lately I find myself stopping and saying to myself, 'oh my gosh, I have 2 kids!" You would think after 11 weeks, it would have fully sunk in by now.
Anyway, Odette didn't embrace yoga like her brother did at his first class. She started strong, laying on the mat, kicking and cooing as she looked at all the babies around her. But then, about 20 minutes into the class she lost it and never really fully recovered. So most of the class was spent feeding her or walking her around the room, but it was fun to get back in it nonetheless. We have our second class in about an hour from now so my fingers are crossed that the little one finds her "inner calm" this time around!
Namaste....
By the way, her leg warmers were the talk of the class!
