I got Maya's from Whitcoulls and the gremlins from the Baby Factory. Chiara has a gorgeous one I got from some random guy in the supermarket carpark.

I have a pregnancy book which you can buy from any book store, and you can put everything in there. Just one down point no holder for excess scan pics.

What about something from somewhere crafty?
This japanese floral one from felt.co.nz is beautiful.
I'll have a look around Etsy too.

I have something similar to that ... it has plain black pages so I can just put whatever I want in it.
Although mine is just boring leather .. not pretty and flowery like those!

Mine is boring black with a dog on the front. I don't even freaking like dogs! Argh.
That is just the journal though... which I was reading last night. It's hilarious. She was totally Hannah at 7 months even! Crazy.
For photos I had a Winnie the Pooh album that was given to me by someone that I was vaguely friends with. It's hideous. It only dawned on me the other day that I was more than able to put the pics in something a tad more attractive. Can't believe I took this long to figure it out. ha.

Kikki.K have a stunning range of them - I almost bought one when I saw them last week even though DD is almost 7 months and I already have one  They come in lots of different colour ranges. Stores in Queen St and Takapuna that I know of.
