Glucose test

So I had my lovely gestational diabetes test this morning. I hadn't eaten anything, only taken my daily meds, and somehow I still failed the test. First time ever. 
If you've had this stuff it's not too terrible to me. Taste like super flat pop. The boy inside me went crazy. He checked out fine at the appointment. Heartbeat was 165. The nurse was hoping it would come down some, but he was on a soccer mission. 
Now I'm all torn inside. I'm upset I didn't pass. I haven't done anything different and yet I managed to gain EIGHT pounds in four weeks. I feel even bigger after knowing that. I am measuring right where I should be, however, so that helped me somewhat. I have low iron and I have to get a supplement now. 
I will take the three hour glucose test Monday after a 12 hour fast. My mom will be here to watch Henry and Viola so I won't have to worry about them at least. 
I guess I just need positive vibes. My levels were 153 and they like it at about 140. If you've ever had this condition what did you have to do? Just looking for advice and good carb friendly food ideas! 

Until tomorrow!!
