She may be long done with The Bachelor, but Melissa Rycroft isn’t closing the doors on her days as a reality star quite yet.

Due with her first child in February, Rycroft wouldn’t be opposed to a documentary following her and husband Tye Strickland‘s journey as first-time parents.

“I watch Bethenny Getting Married? I don’t know if it’s as women or what, you’re just kind of drawn to someone having a baby and going through the process,” the expectant mama, 27, tells PARADE.

“I don’t know what’s about to happen in the next few months with my body and my relationship, there’s going to be so many changes. It could be a fun process to have everybody watch us go through a scary time like that, but it could also be a train wreck!”

Who says your infant car seat can’t be safe and cute?

If that’s what you’re searching for, Maxi Cosi‘s Mico Infant Car Seat ($169) has got you covered.

Not only does it feature a cool, ergonomic design, but it’s available in five stylish colors.

Things We Like: Compact and lightweight, it’s a touch narrower than other infant car seats so it will fit easily in smaller cars. It’s also easy to tote around.

Designed for babies from 5 to 22 lbs, it features thick-padded side wings made of EPP foam for extra side impact protection, a plush infant headrest and an adjustable stay-in-car base.

Nahla Aubry’s Name for Mom? Halle Blueberry!

Courtesy Vogue

Two-year-old Nahla Aubry has no problem recognizing her mom on a magazine cover, but now Halle Berry is making sure her daughter learns her name too!

“I took her shopping, and I had that moment that every parent has. You look away for a second and they’re gone, and your body just gets all hot,” the actress reveals in Vogue‘s September issue.

“And so I had a little breakdown. ‘Shut the doors! I’ve lost my daughter!’ I look around and sure enough, 30 seconds later, she pokes her head out, ‘Hi, Mommy.’”

Although the close call had a happy ending, the experience left the actress imagining a more serious situation and wondering how Nahla would react.

“So that night, I said, ‘What’s your mommy’s name?’ And she looked at me like, ‘You idiot. Why are you asking me what your name is?’ So I asked her again, ‘Nahla? What is Mommy’s name?’” Berry, 43, recalls.

“She thought about it for a second, and finally said, ‘Halle Blueberry!’ Blueberries are her favorite fruit. I’m just glad she didn’t say, ‘Halle Blackberry.’”
