My friend Jennifer is in town for a week to explore a bit of Munich, meet the baby, and to help me take some forward steps toward my re-independence. Both moving around with baby and without baby. Last night we attended a yoga class, which marked my longest stretch away from E in her yet brief existence: three hours. It was great. Though decidedly frightening. And decidedly not my most physically fit display to date. The instructor joked to Jennifer afterward that she should return to class to be a model for the other students. To me, with eyes lowered, he quietly commented that women's bodies are far less capable of many yoga postures after childbirth.
Today, we battle grocery shopping. I've been to stores nearby and just for a couple items with Edie, but have not yet made the trek out to some of my favorite specialty stores. Bavaria has decided to accumulate a good three inches of snow over night just to keep us on our toes. If all goes well, we will be dining on homemade pad thai tonight.

Yay! So awesome that you're getting the chance to spend time together on my old stomping grounds. Say hi to Koeniginstrasse 55 for me! Have a great time - only wish I could be there with you guys.

Same world out there, but you went from being 1 to 1+1. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is great to have a friend here; it's like having one foot in the real world again as well as a hand to hold in it. My mom always said having a baby is like having your heart live outside of your body. I can see that now.
