We were hoping to get away but I have a low lying placenta and my OB has told me I'm not allowed to travel any further than 2 hours from the metro area and that includes no flying either! We were hoping to go to Broome before Tarko arrives but as we can't, we're looking at going to a nice B&B closer to home now.

You are right though, the money can be spent on baby things so if you think that's a better option for you but would like some special 'baby-free' time with your partner, why don't you just consider a night at a nice hotel. Get a cheap deal on Wotif or Last Minute and enjoy a romantic meal, a stay in a hotel and breaky in bed.
