In the old snapshot, Sarah is modeling a pale pink bra and a yellow lace thong as she rests one hand on her stomach. 

And despite the photo being almost a year old, fans are still amazed by her unbelievable physique, with more than 15,000 people liking the photo since it was posted. 

'I wish I looked like this at 36 weeks!' one person wrote, while another added: 'I would miss it too if I looked like this.'

Sarah, who is of European and Costa Rican descent, faced ongoing backlash over her sultry pregnancy she photos, and one woman noted that she remembers the criticisms spurned by this particular snapshot.

'I remember all the b****ing about this photo,' she said.  

Sarah welcomed her son James Hunter into the world on April 14, 2015, and while her critics claimed that her unusually trim figure could be damage to to her unborn child, their fears were unfounded. James weighed a healthy eight pounds, seven ounces at the time of his birth.

Unsurprisingly, the model was back to flaunting her taut tummy just nine days after James was born, and now, almost a year later, she is getting ready to plan her son's first birthday party.

It's been an exciting couple of months together for Sarah, who revealed on Instagram in February that she and her husband Kristopher Jason have purchased their first home together.

'Officially homeowners! #AmericanDream I still can't believe it [sic],' she wrote. 

In the image, Kristopher is holding their son while they happily pose in front of their new house. While Sarah looks stunning in tight high-waisted jeans and a gray crop top, baby James looks thrilled with his parents purchase. 

Kristopher also shared the happy photo on his Instagram page, writing: 'From college students to owning our first home... we did it together. #11 years #TheAmericanDream [sic].' 

Since the birth of her son, Sarah continues to document his life, sharing numerous images of her precious little boy posed both with and without her.

However, from her breastfeeding photos to her bikini photoshoots just three weeks after giving birth, Sarah hasn't had any trouble strumming up controversy after welcoming James into the world.

In December, Sarah was heavily criticized for placing her then-eight-month-old infant straight onto the carpet at a mall in Sherman Oaks before taking pictures of herself in the mirror while she tried on outfits.

After she was accused of being a bad mother, the model was forced to defend herself by sharing another image on Snapchat which showed her son James asleep on top of a clean blanket. 

She sent the new image to TMZ and also told the site that he was in the fitting room with her at the Californian mall for about an hour.

Although the picture shows the baby was comfortable, many on social media still felt it was unacceptable, while others argued that Sarah should be left alone. 

When they're not hitting the mall together, Sarah takes James on long hikes in his stroller and on trips to her gym so she can keep her unbelievable figure.
