Emily Ratajkowski looked back at her pregnancy journey as she celebrates her son turning 1 year old.

On Tuesday, the 30-year-old supermodel shared on Instagram throwback photos of herself when she was pregnant with her baby boy Sylvester Apollo, whom she shares with husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.

One photo showed Ratajkowski lying naked inside a bathtub filled with water, while she gave fans a clearer look at her baby bump in the second and third snaps, posing nude in the shower and on a pink couch, respectively. She also shared a new photo of her son in the post.

"Happy birthday sly. Happy birthday to me. Happy women's day to all," she captioned the images, adding a heart emoji.

Ratajkowski also posted a series of photos on her Instagram Stories to give fans a glimpse of Sylvester's first year of life. "1 year of Sly," she wrote. "Happy birthday to my sweet boy."

The "My Body" author said the birth of her son was "the most magical day of my life," adding that Sylvester "has brought me joy and magic I'd never imagined."

Ratajkowski shared pictures from her son's birthday party as well. One photo featured the little boy smiling at his colorful cake. In another snap, Sylvester can be seen standing in front of silver balloons that spell out his name.

"We love being your parents," the proud mom added alongside a sweet picture of her and her husband holding Sylvester. "Love doesn't even begin to describe it."

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard welcomed their baby boy in March 2021. The couple wed in February 2018 at a courthouse wedding in New York.

Ratajkowski shared some details about her pregnancy journey during her interview with Elle in November 2021.

She admitted that she initially wanted to have a little girl but was "relieved" after learning that she was having a boy. "Because I think that it would bring up — I want more children, so it might be something I deal with later — being sexualized way before puberty and being aware of it," she explained.

The model continued, "I have a memory: I did a sexy move down the wall of my parents' kitchen. I was probably in first grade and my parents were like, 'Where did you learn that?' I was like, 'I fricking learned it. That's what women do.'"
