How Yesenia died
The lovebirds were taking a walk when the incident happened. The vehicle narrowly missed James but struck Yesenia Aguilar who was 35 weeks pregnant at the time.

Adalyn is a year now
On the occasion of Adalyn's one year birthday, James honoured his wife by going to the same spot they took their pregnancy shoot to recreate those memories with the baby's birthday shoot.
Aguilar was dressed in a pink gown, with her baby bump featuring prominently in the photos. In the new shoot, Alvarez dressed Adalyn in a pink dress as well and posed her in the places her mother was in the previous one.
According to Upworthy, the effect is sadly touching and achingly beautiful—a reminder of the gift of life.

Nigerian doctor recreates mother's baby bump
Briefly News previously reported that a Nigerian medical doctor and vlogger identified as Bunmi Olawale recreated an event that happened in 1996.
The medical doctor was in her mother's womb in 1996 and the mum took a picture with her baby bump for the sake of history.
In 2020, the baby that was in her mother's womb clocked 24 years and was also pregnant. She also took a picture of her baby bump dressed in the same gown her mother wore over two decades ago.
