I bet if you did something sentimental it would make her melt. My husband and I are trying for a baby and whenever he talks about our baby I get all happy. If you have had a sonogram you can use the picture to make something.. They have these really cool things at this site. http://www.snapfish.com/ You can have the picture put on a christmas ornament, in a calendar with other pictures of your family and friends, a book and more.. I think you can even put it on a blanket. I would love this as a gift but you are the only one who knows your wife best. I have given these gifts and people always love them. Oh and the picture on an ornment is only $9.99

Well it was hard to find you post it was already in the brain busters section. Make sure you tag your posts so they do not end up there.

Thanks, I tagged it though. How do you tag yours so that it remains visible

Are you talking about taking her to a rental vacation cottage or you mean building her a nice cottage? If it's building that is a good idea when I complete my education, right now I cannot afford it. But for future plans, why not.

Good idea though unaffordable to me right now. But do you honestly think that it's a dream present for a woman?

That's true and I intend to do that, the date is very close (actually 2 days from today).

The account thing seems a good idea I will pursue that tomorrow. So far I will go with the prenatal message, my own surprise for her (what I think she likes) and a baby account. I am not rich but you see our women need to be shown that they are really valued and that we appreciate who they are and what they bring to our lives (such as baby girls).

Maybe a baby carriage or a little baby bed would be great? :P

Don't you think she will see this not as a present but as part of the preparation we are supposed to be doing anyway?

I would! But I am thrifty and would have proubly already asked for something we needed as opposed to something I wanted.

Good point thanks, now do you think I should do it or I should take her to the message experts

Don't get her something related to the baby. She's gonna get a lot of that stuff. Get her something she can use for herself and that she would consider thoughtful.

It's our second pregnancy, so I guess baby things will not excite her anymore. I am pretty excited myself (she is a girl), so this time I am actually very excited about buying those things. It's unbelievable I am actually buying and stocking baby stuff just like she is doing (although most of the time it's a joint effort).

It depends if she is really excited and into the prgnacy that may be a great gift.

(To MrsFrizzle) Being an expecting mother is a great thing (believe me I was one not too long ago), but having someone acknowledge you as an individual can be just the thing she needs. Once the baby gets here, people will tend to pay more attention to what's in her arms than her. (To jmafofo) I think the fact that you are just as excited about the newest addition to your family as your wife is endearing. Congrats on your little girl. If you feel a baby related item would make her happy go for it.
