Getting ready

We now have a little less than three months to be ready for the arrival of our tadpole and, let's face it, we are far from being ready.
We did a bit of shopping but that's it. We still have to book the hospital, get the room organized, figure out childcare, and many more.
Thus today we started the prenatal classes. We are not really in advance but we are still in time to complete them before I lose sight of my feet.
It was stressful to get there as we landed a bit after 5pm and the class was at 7pm. Yet despite waiting long the luggage, having to wait for the taxi at the airport (10min before peak hours, drivers prefer to wait so they get more money!!!), stopping home just long enough to eat something and start unpacking, we made it on time.
We were there but there was no trainer. 
By 7:15pm I was becoming impatient and annoyed. We tried calling but no one was answering the phone. At 7:20pm, finally someone showed up. Apparently with only three participants, the class would have been cancelled. But no one told us. It's the opposite we all received a sms on Sunday confirming our enrollment to this class. While the woman tried to get her way out of it, she was facing unhappy pregnant women who had not only come all the way there but also made arrangements work wise.
So no, we didn't want to join a class on another day of the week.
And yes, we want to have the class for which we came and paid for.
A bit after 7:30pm, we finally started.
I don't think I learned much today vs. what I had read already in different websites, but the part with the exercises to strengthen our pelvic muscles and stretch our poor pregnant woman body was nice and even fun.
What's not so fun is that apparently I need to do those everyday. Time to get my gym mat out again.
I hope the following sessions will be more interesting. Next week is pain relief. Should be interesting :)
