So we attempted to make it to postnatal yoga this morning, but no go. We did, however, get out the front door, into the car, pull up to the yoga studio, before we had a huge cry (Lilly not me) and I realized that we were late, didn't take her out of the carseat, and drove home. While I did stop the engine, get out of the car, and attempt to undo her, I chickened out. I had visions of me bringing Lilly into yoga class, all calm and peaceful, not crying and red in the face. After all, aren't first impressions everything? So even though I got a spot right in front of the studio, prime parking space, I got back in the car, and drove off, albeit slowly towards home.
Lessons learned:
1. budget in more time to get her in the car seat, into the car, into the car seat base.
2. Also plan for rain - I don't think she minded because it was a little rain, but if it was pouring, we might have had issues. Probably need to invest in some sort of rain gear for her or the car seat.
3. Call studio ahead of time, just to check that class is still happening (the neurotic in me was afraid no one would be there and studio would be closed)
4. When she goes down for sleep, make sure she is in her car seat carrier. She awoke while I was transferring her to the carrier, and thus was not to happy to leave her warm spot and Sheep Sleep Ocean Sounds.
5. Be happy that we did get out of the happy - while we didn't make it too class, we did get in the car, drive to the studio, and almost go. There's always next week.
