Boo to Glucola

I can't believe it's already that time; this week marked 28 weeks which means two things: the beginning of the third (and last!) trimester, and the Glucose test. I have been feeling great throughout the entire pregnancy, but for some reason I have been dreading the GCT. So I went to the doctor yesterday and took the test. The drink wasn't great, but it wasn't as nasty as I was expecting. They drew blood after an hour and then sent me home. I got a call from the nurse this morning that I failed the test. The cutoff is 130, and I was something like 150 or 151. So now do I not only get to go back on Friday and sit in the office for 3 hours and get stuck 3 times, but I also get to freak out about it until then. The card told me I could have breakfast as normal yesterday morning, but to avoid fruits, juices, fast food, and cereal. I made 2 pieces of toast with a little margarine and I asked the nurse if that would boost my number 20 points, and she said it wasn't likely. I still wonder though; I ate those pieces of toast in the car on the way to the appointment. Well, my new card says I have to eat 3 extra servings of carbs (more than your normal) 3 days before the test (technically yesterday--and I think I may have had one or two extra since we had tacos for dinner and the tortillas were carbs I usually don't have at dinner), and then fast after midnight tomorrow night, so hopefully I pass this test. The nurse seemed to think I probably would pass it. I'm half-tempted to check my blood sugar at work a couple times today just for my own peace of mind, but I don't know if I will--I've never stuck my own finger before :).
