Today may be Joanna Gaines's birthday, but she's the one giving her fans a gift: a look at her biggest baby bump yet! The Fixer Upper star posted a picture in honor of her 40th birthday. "This is 40," she captioned the Instagram. "And I like it..."

She and her costar husband, Chip, are expecting their fifth baby, a boy. The host of HGTV's Behind the Design has been pretty private about her pregnancy so far, sharing only a few photos and details. It's only fitting that she'd mark this birthday milestone in such a special way.

This is 40. And I like it... #pregnantandforty #anddoughnuts

Joanna adorably added the hashtags: "#pregnantandforty #anddoughnuts." In an emotional post ahead of the Fixer Upper finale, Joanna wrote that "Since it's been over eight years since I was pregnant with Emmie Kay, I joke with my friends that it feels like it's my first time being pregnant."

The couple's four kids are equally excited about their new brother. "Since I had our first four babies so close to one another, none of them actually remember me being pregnant," she wrote. "They love my growing belly (and boy is it growing), and they cannot wait to meet him. I truly believe this baby is a gift from God for our family in this season."

Earlier today, Chip wished Joanna happy birthday and pledged to donate a dollar to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for every new follow his wife gets on Twitter.

The couple's company, Magnolia Market, is also offering a special discount in honor of the occasion: 20 percent off of 40 items with the promo code "FORTY."
