I had my SPU(special pregnancy unit) class I had to take today for failing my Glucose test. It was essetinally explaining what GD is, what causes it, when it goes away etc. The second half we met with a dietician who explained a modified meal plan to follow for the rest of the pregnancy etc. Pretty easy going stuff. The hardest part is going to be making sure I get the 6x a day meal/snack routine down. Other than that, the food part really isnt’ that different from what I normally eat during the day, I just have to eat it at different times and different quantities; cut out the crappy sugary stuff. They supplied all of the women in the class with Accu-chek glucose meters with strips and lancets. They also provided the prescription for more test strips as we go along. It all came bundled up in a nice wooden box with baby photo album. I have to admit, it’s one of the nicer “kickback freebies” I’ve seen from pharmacutical anything -lol- We can also submit our receipts to the Canadian Diabetes Association at the end of the pregnancy for a 65% reimbursement of our costs due to the GD because we don’t have a drug plan through work etc. That makes it a bit more bearable as the test trips are essentially about $1.10 a piece when you work it out. I have to do the diet and test for the next 2 weeks and then meet with a diabetes doctor and discuss what the next steps are. I don’t have GD persay but because I had the abnormal reading they want me to do this stuff anyways. I’m ok with it, it’s just kind of annoying. My biggest issue is juice.. no more juice-sighs-

The crib showed up today as well. Kev said it was delivered around 2 and they just took it straight upstairs etc so that kev didn’t have to try and move it on his own. We’ve got everything so far sorted out and put away in the closet (baskets and things). Kev hopefully will be painting soonish in there. We’re going to wait to put everything together until the painting is done, so that nothing accidently gets painted; plus it will just leave lots more room for moving around in there while painting. The crib is a pretty good size -lol- I saw it at the Sears store on Sunday. We also want to change the fan/light system in the room. I don’t think the fan is very good quality/installed right. The lightbulbs make funny noises when you have the fan on and then turn the lamps on.
