Build A Baby Book

Baby bonus question?

This is a q from a 16 yr old friend of mine that she asked me to post on here word 4 word-

ok, im 16 and i’m having a baby in june. I will be 17 by then and i have 2 questions-
1- will i get the baby bonus in a lump sum or fortnightly payments??
2- my parents have agreed to pay for most the things the baby needs and family benefit from the gov will pay for most weekly expenses. I want to do sumthin special with the baby bonus(its about 5 grand i think) i have already decided to help my nana pay for a flight over here as its her first great granchild. that will be about 800 and i plan to spend about $500 in the 1st few months paying for personalised momentos such as twinkle toes and growthcharts/baby book etc. Does anyone have any ideas of other things i could buy that would be useful(im not talking nappies and everyday clothes here). Plz no hurtful or mean comments. If you dont agree with the way im spending it plz dont answer. Every1 else thanku 4 suggestions!
PS-im in perth AUS
i said that i dont want answers to do with using it on nappies or everyday clothes. i have parents and tons of family and friends to help out with things like that and i’ll be getting government assistance. i want to use the majority of the baby bonus on special things. but i am putting $1000 away for emergencies like nappies etc.
anymore answers, plz write them or email if it gets too late. thanx every1. i’ll pass them on to Lily.
i’m not a dole bludger, im using government assistance because im doing correspondance uni. i was considering putting some into a account for the babies education, thanku for your input, i would apreciate if you hadnt added the hurtful comment. not every1 can choose to have a baby when their life is perfect. and imnot wasting the money, i want to do something special with it. by buying kepsakes and things. my mother never even took a photo of me until i was in the 7th grade, so i feel that this is important
oh PS-it mite not be relevant but the ones who are helping arent my actual parents, they are amanda and chris(the one who has this acount) they took me n at 14 and treat me like their daughter, so i consider amanda to be my mum. just adding this in case it changes things…

Need feedback from moms (and dads) with newborns to 12 months?

I am looking for unique ways to reach parents about “My Baby Book – a personalized story of your child’s birth” you can see a picture of the book on http://my-baby-book.blogspot.com/. Features include: the baby‘s name, birth date, time, place of birth, doctor’s name, hospital and many other notable milestones during the baby‘s first year.

I have tried listing “My Baby Book” in local magazines but there was not interest. Any ideas?
The pages are personalized with the baby‘s name, hometown, date of birth, hostpital, time of birth, doctors name, weights and length. It tells a story from the time of their birth to 1 year. I need help locating websites or blogs.

Which is a better baby gift for my newest nephew?

A personalized piggy bank with his name on it filled with some dollar gold coins to start OR just the personalized piggy bank with one coin (for good luck) and a book or two?
