22 week belly

Today officially marks the 22nd week of my pregnancy. I can’t believe we are past the half-way mark and well into the second half. My next appointment will be at 24 weeks, then I’ll have another ultrasound at 28 weeks. After my 28 week appointment I’ll start seeing my doctor every two weeks. That’s just crazy to me. Time is seriously flying by and I feel like I haven’t done anything!

My first shower is in Dallas on March 7 and invitations have apparently gone out for that. This means that Todd and I have to register this weekend. I’m completely overwhelmed by the idea of registering for baby gear. When you register for wedding gifts, you just pick out the prettiest things and the things you know you need and like. Registering for baby gear requires researching for safety purposes and lots of Consumer Reports information and comparisons.

I’m spending a week in Dallas from March 5-12 with my mom to pick out nursery fabric and furniture and get that ball rolling. Once I decide on fabrics I can choose a wall paint color and get moving on that. February will be over be we know it and we’ll be one month closer to Baby Boy’s arrival.

MM, here’s the next “hot” baby bump photo. You can see that my face is definitely starting to fill out. It’s amazing how much weight you can gain when you’re not throwing up every hour! I feel great because I was finally able to get my hair highlighted again yesterday. It had been six months since my last highlight. I couldn’t get it highlighted in the first trimester, then my stylist went on maternity leave, and now I don’t have an ugly dark line separating new hair from old hair.

  2. USCEmily says

    Your first baby shower will be so exciting, and I’m sure you’re looking forward to spending time in Dallas with your mom for a week!!

  3. SouthernAccent says

    You look fabulous! I’m telling you nothing helps more when you’re pregnant than highlights and great accessories! What a cute little bump!

  4. Mrs. Stilettos says

    Wow! Girlfriend, you give new meaning to the word glowing!! You look just beautiful!! Love the new hair!! 🙂

  5. Katy says

    I think something must be in the water at your salon, if she just went on maternity leave and you’re about to be. Remind me not to go there anytime soon. 🙂

    you look amazing! you are glowing. little baby boy carroll will be here before you know it. so so exciting!

  7. southern daze says

    You really do look absolutely fantastic! I love the baby bump, highlighted hair, but mostly I just adore how you’re radiating from within. I know they say pregnant women “glow” and by looking at this picture I’d say they’re correct. You are most definitely glowing!!

    Congrats 🙂

    You look beautiful and love the new highlights! Makes me happy to know that I can keep highlighting my hair when I get pregnant.

  9. Mandy Rose says

    OMG you look ADORABLE! Seriously, if I looked that cute pregnant I wouldn’t be so hesitant to do it again! haha!

    Loving the updates! I HIGHLY recommend the Boon Flair high chair. WE LOVE OURS! SO EASY TO CLEAN…and trust me…you’ll be cleaning it daily. It is kind of modern looking so if you don’t like the look I would definitely try and find a high chair with NO fabric! That is key!

    Graco has great safety reviews at reasonable prices. Of course, I love some of the other brands like bugaboo, etc. But those can get pricey. Depends on your budget.

    You are so beautiful!!! I really do believe that there is just something so magical about a pregnant woman!!! Have a great time registering for everything under the sun!!! I registered with my sister and we had 40+ pages of stuff when I was finished. That scanner had a mind of its own (wink, wink). {HUGS}

  11. GIRL FROM THE LAND of 10KL says

    You look great! And you’re crazy to think that your face is filling out. Skinny minny!

    Can you feel the baby kick yet?

    What colors are you thinking for the baby’s room?

  12. Newlywed Next Door says

    You look beautiful! I can’t wait to see your fab decorations and baby gear — if you wedding is any indication, you have a great sense of style. Cheers!

  13. Vineyard Vogue says

    You look just beautiful! Such a cute prego-lady! And, wow.. passed the halfway mark?! It IS flying by! How exciting that little guy is going to be here before you know it! 🙂

  14. Mama SeWELL says

    You look stunning! I wish I couldve said the same for myself at that far along but I was sick & miserable still. It goes by so fast, just when you get used to your belly its gone again. Cherish every second!

    Congrats on 22 weeks!

  15. Emily says

    Ahhhh, Erin.. you look stunning! Soo stinking cute! You are one of the cutest pregnant gals I have ever seen! Such a cute baby bump!
    Good luck this weekend! I was looking on baby r us and wow.. there is soo much to register for.. I dont even know where we will begin! Feel me in on how it goes… it might be a good idea.. if you know someone who is pregnant.. take a look at what they have registered for.. if you dont know of anyone.. i know of someone and you can look at their register:)
    Happy shopping!

  16. mrs.leah.maria says

    I want to agree and disagree with you all in the same breath. It goes terribly slow and incredibly fast! I’m also terrified to register.

  17. Brown Eyed Girl says

    Wow you look so gorgeous!! Seriously, how cute are you??? I don’t think any of you looks “filled out” at all! You make it look so easy and pretty 🙂 I can’t believe how fast this has all gone. I feel like you just told us that you were preggers and now you are halfway there! How exciting!!

  18. Trina says

    Your are sooo gorgeous! You look really small (which I’m sure you don’t feel like you do). Good luck with the rest of the weeks 🙂

  19. LyndsAU says

    BEAUTIFUL!!! You look great Erin!! Glowing so! 🙂 I got so excited when I saw this pic!! You are too cute! Baby Boy will be here before you know it! 🙂

  20. PreppyGirl says

    You look fantastic!! So exciting! Can’t wait to see what the nursery will look like. Have fun registering this weekend!

  21. Mrs. Forever says

    You look incredible! I mean seriously – gorgeous! Getting together to register and decorate with your mom will be so much fun!!

  22. KDLOST says

    oh my GOSHHHH! you are sooo pretty and cute!!! do you know what you’re having?? awww!

    i wanna be pregnant! (but i didn’t look quite so cute as you my dear…heheh)

  23. Jess says

    I can only hope that I’m a cute when I’m pregnant as you are, now! Seriously, you’re adorable!

    I’m glad you’re feeling better!

  24. *~! megs !~* says

    You look adorable! Have fun with your upcoming showers.. And maybe you can register for some stuff just because it’s cute too! Glad you’re feeling better!!

  25. Prissy Southern Prep says

    You are BEAUTIFUL girl!! You look amazing. I don’t see that your face has filled out any!! You look fabulous, and I can’t wait to see more pics along the way. =) Good luck registering, it will be fun!

  26. Practically Perfect... says

    You look fabulous, dahling! And so does your hair! Way to still look stylish and sexy while pregnant 🙂 I joke with Chris that when we decide to have kids, I will NOT be one of those women who looks frumpy during the pregnancy. I should just save the pictures of you as inspiration whenever that day comes!

  27. KrissyBo. says

    You look absolutely ahhhhdorable! 🙂 I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed when we registered, especially at Babies ‘R Us…but they will help guide you through it and you’ll be fine! 🙂 I highly recommend the Graco Safe Seat for the infant carrier. We have the black and white “Rittenhouse” (damask) pattern for both the car seat and the stroller and it’s precious. 🙂 I wanted something that could be more unisex in case our next baby is a girl. 😉 Wishful thinking, perhaps? lol

  28. have a lovely says

    precious little preggo!!! you are so very cute!! my recommendation would be to register somewhere that has a great return policy…since the whole learning all the items and their safety is so overwhelming!!

    {ps…I am from tyler…just 2 hours from dallas…and I miss the south daily!!!}

  29. Jon and Steph says

    You are teeny tiny and too cute! Your hair looks great! I just started following your blog. I look forward to reading more 😉 Congratulations!

  30. My Home - My Life says

    Your look great! Have fun registering, I am sure you will get all the wonderful things you will need.

  31. NINA says

    You are SOOO cute!!! I can’t wait to see that bump in person!! Email with stroller research coming at you… please forgive me for my crazy unorganized ways this week! xoxo

  32. Lulu says

    You look absolutely precious! I hope that when I’m prgnant (MANY years form now… hehe) I look like you do!
    xoxo,
    Lulu
