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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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!  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

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.
