Let’s be real—Lauren Conrad‘s journey to motherhood has been nothing short of #goals. From the sweet way she shared the news of her pregnancy, to her baby bump debut, to the charming gender reveal, to the cross-stitched birth announcement, every step has been picture perfect. Now we’ve finally got pictures of the super cute Liam James Tell, thanks to PEOPLE, and Lauren is sharing a few behind-the-scenes details.
“I always hoped I would have a boy,” she revealed to PEOPLE. “Boys are so fun. I was a tomboy, and I always play best with boys. When we found out, I was so excited.”
Lauren and husband William decided to find out the gender of their baby for a pretty basic reason: peace of mind! “I like to have all the information,” she explained. “And I was sharing my body with someone—so I wanted to know as much as possible about him.”
Since Liam is less than a month old, it might be too soon to guess whether he’ll take after mom or dad, but Lauren thinks he looks like “sort of a combo of both.” She added, “He definitely looks like William. But he’s still so tiny it’s hard to tell!” Either way, he’s adorable.
“I’m already stressing out because I want him to stay this tiny and I know he won’t,” she said. “So I’m just trying to enjoy how itty-bitty he is.”
And it sounds like another itty-bitty bundle of joy might be in store for the Tell family. Lauren admitted, “I was looking at him the other day, and I was like, ‘I understand now why people keep having babies!’ We’ll probably have two. I think it’s best not to be outnumbered.”
Lauren also explained why she and William waited almost three years after their wedding to become parents. “We wanted to enjoy being married and to really be in the right space. We took our time, so it was something to look forward to.”
Some things are worth the wait. This beautiful baby and his cute first photos definitely were.
