I am using Windows XP and it seems like I have had 5 updates in the last
week or two. This is a huge change. Is there something going on that I
should be worried about?

What kind of updates? Look at the update history.

At least three security updates were released last thursday.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms09-mar.mspx

There have also been other updates, for Silverlight, Spamfilter
Updates for Windows Mail, Outlook, etc.

If you want control about the patches your systems install i suggest
using WSUS, SCE or SCCM.
