Emma and yours truly started yoga class this week. The classes are intended for new mothers to "reconnect" with their bodies and the offspring are brought along. As a fresh batch of mothers joined the class this particular Monday, everyone introduced themselves and their little one. The baby's age was also announced. I knew Emma was big for her age before I got there, but I hadn't realized that she's as big as babies twice her age.
A part of the yoga class is doing certain exercises with the baby, such as rolling on your back holding the baby in the air. When that time came, Emma was sound asleep so her mother had to do the yoga-with-the-baby part without the baby. A bit embarrassing really. Two days later at the same point in the class I decided to skip the embarrassment and woke Emma to join the other moms with babies dancing in a circle. Then we did a few exercises holding the baby, hoisting it up in the air and lowering it to the floor. My back still hurts and she'll only get bigger...
Non baby stuff
These past few days have been strange, a mix of sadness and joy. Matti and I are thinking hard about relocating to a great looking apartment smack in the center of Reykjavík, but the current state of the housing market has us hesitating. We also confirmed our reservation for a three week holiday in Thailand in July. My brother is awaiting his firstborn son in the summer, bringing joy to the whole family.
I haven't really been blogging about what's happening outside the four walls of the nest but my friend Bryndís is more than doing her job of telling it like it is. Go Bryndís!
Mæli með Vogunum :)
