Giving birth to daughter Honor Marie Warren last month "was more like meditation," actress Jessica Alba tells OK! magazine, in which she reveals the first photo of the baby.

"I did yoga breathing. I was focused," says Alba, who opted for a natural birth.

Having a newborn still "hasn't totally sunk in," the "Love Guru" star says.

"She dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn't seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she's connected to the other world, or something. There's no other way to explain it. It's a miracle."

As for getting back into her pre-pregnancy body, Alba says she's taking it slow.

"I started working out last Thursday, but for 20 minutes. I do cardio on my own. I'm doing it slow," she said.

"Now I'm starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive."
