    I received a dairy from my sister. It's a beautifully leather bound A4 book, with recyled-paper pages, that bind with a piece of twine. I just wrote in that, not much of the pg itself, because it was all plain sailing, but more about the birth and afterwards ... my feelings and fears. So it's not really a "Baby-diary" it's more a mommy-diary.
    TBH, I still have to stick some of the u/s pics in the right places.

    For this one .... I DON"T KNOW!!! I have not started anything!!!!! I would love to have something, but I am actually terrible at diaries. So something like that pregnancy calender sounds way cool, you just fill in the blanks.

    Goodluck with the writing!!

    I've seen the Anne Geddes pregnancy journal, was going to buy one as it looked really cute! But I was scared to start one before 12 weeks, and then I got one from my parents at Christmas (8 weeks). But I think they are gorgeous. I saw them at Big W actually! Along with the calendars etc. it was either in the book section or the calendar/date diary/notebook section.
    Mine is a pregnancy journal by Paula Spencer. It's green and yellow, is broken into sections that expains whats happening week-by-week and also has thought provoking sections that you might not otherwise think about writing about. The only downside is theres no space for free journalling, only prompted journalling. But I like it.

    ETA: It might be the one Rach is talking about too...?

    Thanks Girls! I'll check out some more gift stores and also BigW.

    Yeah i'm after a 'free writing' journal with pictures.... and week to week updates aswell but mainly a journal where i can write in it heaps and lots of space for pasting in pictures maybe.... of my belly!!

    I'll see how i go... it's still early days but i'm so excited it's hard not to want to write it all down.

    What a great idea, I wish I'd started one!
    I've seen quite a few in bookstores, hopefully you'll have some luck finding what you're looking for.

    Thank you girls and thank you for those congratulating me on my BFP!! It's VERY surreal still.... still sinking in!! tee hee.

    I bought a Pregnancy Calendar from a gift store tonight! It's kinda cute so bought that although it was $15! I figured it's well worth it and has pictures and info as each week progresses.... already made a mess of it !! hehe

    I have ordered from a newsagency a Pregnancy Journal that the lady said they usually sell, with a green cover and it's really thick?? No idea the details of course I forgot to ask her all that but I am happy to have a look when it arrives in 2-3 weeks and see if it's for me. Until then, i'll just keep recording stuff each day on the computer in a Word doc.
