A massage would be great. I go to work take our son to school pick him up run errons with my son and go home help him with hus homework take him a shower cook and clean the house by myself my whole day is gone and when I'm ready to lay down and rest my husband always wants a massage every single night. How I wish he'd offer to massage me its the least he can do and it'd help me more than anything.  But oh well lol

Neck and shoulder rub, my husband surprises me every now and then with that and it's awesome!

I'm a stay at home mom so I do the majority of things around the house. What my husband and I worked out was he took over the two chores I hate doing the most. Then he assisted with the two chores that were most taxing/time consuming.

On days where my hormones made things more unbearable, my husband asked me what I needed from him - just his asking helped me relax by reminding me that I'm not alone like I sometimes felt because of the hormones.

*She may not remember to thank you or show you her appreciation. But your asking for advice shows how awesome you are as a husband and how amazing a dad you will be. Thank you for getting it and being a super husband/dad!

***Oh getting her a pedicure or prenatal massage may be in order.

Congratulations!

There is lots of stuff. Help her clean, offer to cook some nights, do the shopping, offer massages... stuff like that will earn you some brownie points. I wish there were more hubbies willing to do this stuff lol
