Today I accomplished something tremendous. I spent an entire hour--count 'em, sixty whole minutes--out of the house doing an activity just for me. I didn't do anything for the baby, the house, my husband, or my family--just me.

What was this very special occasion? My first postpartum yoga class!

It was fantastic to leave--even for a short time--and get some much needed refocusing for my brain and body. The class was nice and gentle, though still quite a challenge for me (I have absolutely no abdominal muscle tone), and the teacher was good, if a little pedantic.

And now I'm home with my beautiful pudgy baby, and I'm ready to handle whatever the little pooker throws at me.
