I was thinking maybe a 42 inch plasma tv. She seemed to want one but I told her no. We wait until next year for the better models :)
I don't want to buy her clothes too. She's way too picky.

Coupons for thoughtful actions:

Footrub
Laundry
Draw a bath

Things that let her know you're thinking of her and haven't forgotten she's a beautiful woman.

If my woman also wanted a plasma, I wouldn't think twice about it, unless it was a model/brand that I didn't like.

DO NOT buy HER baby clothes.
Buy something for HER. I firmly believe in getting her a spa day. They have special massages for pregnant ladies that help relieve stress and water-gain. Let her get her nails done and hair and a massage and manicure.
This is a time that she should be thinking about herself to relax herself for the birth of your child.
Also, get her some flowers set to the spa that day. she will love you!

Foot massager machine. Maybe a back one, too, but you'd probably want to check with the doc. There's always massage oils so you can just to it the old-fashioned way. More pillows. Chocolate.

Gift Certificate for a spa of some sort so she can be pampered since she probably doesn't feel real pampered depending on how far along she is.

I want to beat you...a lot. Really...I do. If my wife said to me, "Honey, I can't stand waiting any longer, I think we need a 42in plasma. What do you think honey?", I would drop dead there on the spot. If I didn't drop dead (highly unlikely), I'd go make 50th wedding anniversary plans that same day. We'd be in the mini-van so quick it would make your head spin.

My GF told saw the 50" or 52" RCA in Wal-Mart and told me to buy it for her... but then I said "But look at the picture compared to the one next to it..."
So I've talked her into a 60" of better quality at least with no struggle :D

I gave my wife a couple of hours worth of session with a massage therapist late in the third trimester. They do have a massage session specially made for pregnant women to help relieve stress during the latter stages. It's tough those last couple weeks where she has a hard time just moving around and not much sleep with the baby playing FIFA soccer on her ribs.

How much are these spa?

Okay there's one thing I failed to mention in my earlier post. I bought her flowers which she'll get tomorrow.
