"Today I started up Prenatal Yoga again. I had been trying to use my in-home yoga video and just never felt the benefits I know I get from going to a yoga studio.

It was very hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I was going to be doing this myself and not with Lisa. It’s always nice to have a buddy. I miss that with this pregnancy.

My instructor is around my age and just had her second baby. We got along immediately. It helped me be a little less awkward about going it alone.

I thought often of Lisa this class, wanting to shoot her glances to see if she was thinking the same thing I was about the poses or the ambiance . . . sigh

When class ended I was very tired and was surprised to learn it was a 75 minute class and not the 45 minutes I was expecting. No wonder I was sore. But I think I’m going to sleep well tonight. I am looking forward to keeping up with my Sunday yoga class, even if I’m going by myself."
