Coming to terms

I am 5 weeks pregnant now, and I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm pregnant again. My DD is 8.5 months old and still breastfeeding.
I have worries: I worry that she's not getting enough milk, that I'm not getting enough to eat. I worry that she'll have to wean before we were ready to. I worry that she won't get the attention that she needs. I worry that the new one won't have all this time and energy that I had to devote to my DD.
But, I'm coming to terms with the fact that we'll be a family of 4. That my children will have each other to rely on. That I have all the stuff already bought and ready for a new one!
On another note, I know they say you show earlier with the second, but what about symptoms? Boy, the rage! I snapped over my husband eating my cookies yesterday and then denying it. Most of my anger stems over food! (Eating for 3!) Also, I didn't have morning sickness with DD, but I am constantly queasy with this one. And soooo tired!
Still trying to decide when to tell. I'm embarrassed to tell our families because of the number of times they said "you can still get pregnant while breastfeeding." As if I didn't know. My DH swears we'll be able to tell them that we planned it, it just happened quicker than we planned. I feel like a teenager. But, I'm starting to slowly get excited.
