Stomach flu.....?

So for 2 weeks now I haven't been feeling well. My stomach has had this weird stomach flu kind of feeling. I have been up all night, and full of energy, and constantly hungry but don't eat a ton! It's been really weird!

Well, last Friday I was running errands, and people kept asking me if I was pregnant. I kept saying no and going on with my day. I told Nick how tons of people had asked and he said "Crap, women know things like that!"

So after all the comments I was nervous and wanted to prove everyone wrong. So Saturday I ran to the dollar store to get packing tape, since we were in the middle of moving and saw they had a pregnancy test. I bought it since it was cheap... Well, I took the test, 1 line means no 2 lines means yes. Of course it's all pink at first, I come back like 15 seconds later and only see only one line, I take a deep breath close my eyes and say thank you. I open my eyes and crap there are 2 solid bright pink lines! Im thinking this isn't right, I mean I bought it for a dollar. Well I told Nick on our way to sign the lease for our apartment and well I couldn't have thought of a worse time. He was already stressed with moving and now the possibility of me being pregnant. So he said I should take another test Sunday to make sure. We told family that there was a possibility but not to get hopes up.
Sunday morning I took the other test, - ment no + means yes....easy enough. I take the test and only see the one line. Remembering last time I wait a little longer and here comes another solid pink line! Nick woke up later around noon and said "Are you still pregnant?" I said "yeah here is the test," he looks at me and says, "I should have slept longer."

So Nick and I are now expecting our first kid! And here I thought I had the stomach flu and that my body was having a hard time fighting it off! We are really excited, nervous and scared! It's a mix of everything still! I mean we weren't trying and didn't want to get pregnant till summer. But the Lord has other plans for us!

I'm so amazed with it all right now. Here we thought the baby is still basically nothing and well according to things online, Im about 5 weeks along, my baby looks like a little manatee and had nubs for arms and legs! I wanted to cry I couldn't believe that in 5 weeks that much has happened. Organs are forming and everything! It's changed my life already. Everything I eat or do is affecting this tiny sesame seed sized baby! Im going to be a mom, Im responsible for this child growing in me. I was really thinking the other day and was just amazed that the Lord trusts me with something so tiny and important.

Nick is being wonderful too, we went grocery shopping the other night and he got only healthy food. He said he wants me and the baby to be healthy and taken care of. We are going for walks every evening and eating healthy! The baby and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband/dad in our lives. I think we are both still in shock but already I'm impatient to find out if its a girl or boy; to feel the baby move around and kick; to see pictures...

If you have any advice you want to give, please give it. We have no idea what we are doing. I've talked to some people and they have said I've only had one but I can give advice if you want. Well, I've never been pregnant so any advice is better than me guessing! I'm so nervous but at the same time this is going to be the longest wait of my life!
