Heather Rae El Moussa has a lot to celebrate in her 35th year.

The Selling Sunset star, who is expecting her first baby with husband Tarek El Moussa, rang in 35th her birthday Thursday night with the Flip or Flop alum, 41, and some friends during an intimate dinner gathering at Craig's in West Hollywood, California.

She posed in a black lace jumpsuit that showed off her baby bump, as she was surrounded by costars Mary Fitzgerald, Emma Hernan and Chelsea Lazkani, among other friends in photos from the celebration.

"35 years young today and feeling so blessed. I feel so lucky to be celebrating my life while I have a whole new life growing inside me… it's surreal and it's the kind of thing where words just don't do it justice," she wrote in the caption. "I'm so grateful to be going into 35 with the best husband, bonus kids, family, and friends and a baby boy on the way.

"35 feels incredible. I'm the most confident, happy and empowered I've ever been and I feel like the older you get the more you stop caring about the little things and the more you start living life the way you want to. And saying NO to things that don't bring you fulfillment. Every year is just better and better so I can't wait to see what this year brings and THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes and love," Heather added.
