For those of us who grew up with L.C. in those early days of reality TV, it’s hard to believe that the SoCal native is a bonafide adult. Indeed, Lauren Conrad (who celebrates her birthday today) is no longer an ambitious teen—and at 31 years old she's a lifestyle expert, an Instagram master, and a mother-to-be.

Conrad, wife to William Tell since 2014, got off to an exciting start this year when she announced her pregnancy on Instagram. “Happy New Year! I have a feeling 2017 is going to be the best year yet ...” the Hills alum captioned a sonogram photo.

It takes a certain level of understanding and relatability to parent, and L.C. has a surplus of both. Conrad posts adorable throwback photos from her childhood all the time; she's in touch with that childlike sense of wonder and all that comes with it. Sometimes, you just need a pet unicorn to get through the day and L.C. gets that.

Lauren C. is a pro when it comes to all things Halloween. She goes all out costume-wise and isn't afraid to play up the spook-factor. No matter what direction Baby Tell's interests take, we're sure L.C. will be more than happy to help throw a theme-appropriate party.

Birthday Décor Is Her Forte

Back in 2014, Conrad surprised her then boyfriend (and current husband!) William Tell with a balloon-filled bedroom on his special day. We can only imagine the b-day surprises Lauren will have in store for her own child—like, honestly, L.C., can you adopt us?

Most importantly, L.C. will make a great mom because she'll teach her child to be true to him or herself and fight for what's right. No one puts Lauren in the corner and with brave a mom her, we're sure the same will go for Baby Tell.
