First, even though she is pregnant which is GREAT-Make this a day about HER and not the child. .Inexpensive? Ok , here goes....First,I believe V-day is on a Wednesday, so it's mid-week with at least one of you working.So-make the night a special one.I know a surprise foot massage with soft lighting and music would rock her socks off.
She needs to relax and feel pampered. Make her leave the room to prepare.Get out your brand new foot soaking tub/massager and fill with warm water and an essential oil -you can buy Lavender which is soothing and not expensive.Put at least 10 drops into the water.Light candles, put in a soothing New CD. Plug in your massager.Let her come in.It is all about presentation After she soaks in the water, give her an awesome foot massage with the lavender and a little almond oil. Presentation and intention are the best gifts on Valentines day.This should cost you about 50 dollars at most.You don't even have to buy her the foot massaging tub.Help her to relax.It will be great for her and the baby.Congrats!

The best thing you can do is make it only about her and not the baby. Although you are both looking forward to the arrival she needs to be the focus of attention right now. I would say to either cook or purchase takeout, light some candles and eat a relaxing dinner somewhere other than the "stuffy" dining room or kitchen table. After dinner give her a "personal pedicure" and a "personal hot bath", which of course would include washing her back, her hair, etc. End the night with a good movie that both of you would enjoy and open a bottle of "sparkling grape juice" and toast to your wonderful life together. Enjoy.

Being that she is pregnant and I've been there 3 time before, this is what I would want. You would have to go by your judgment you know your girl better then anyone. Since she work so much she must be on her feet all day. When she walks in the house have rose pedals leading to the bedroom. (you can go to a hobby lobby if you have one). Have her bath water drawn with bubble bath, epson salt, oil droplets, and candles all around, with soft music playing. I suggest you help her take her clothes off and bath her be genital. After she relaxes in the tube help her out and dry her off (be as soft and genital as you can be). On the side of the bed have strawberries dip in chocolate, grapes, all kinds of different fruits cut up (pretty) a nice drink like sparkle grap juice ( better yet you know what your girl likes). While she is nibbling on the food lotion her down and deeply message her feet. Again taking your time soft, slow romantically. After that serve her a nice candle light dinner something light so then you can get you some action and she want have HEART BURN lol
Have Fun

Congratulations!
I think that since the lady is soon to give up all semblance of self and become the servant to a; Tiny, little, demanding (although cute as heck and very worth it,) baby...
That you should give her something just for her... Nothing that has anything to do with the baby. Mom's never admit it out loud, but sometimes it can be really hard giving up the totality of your life to a child... and you do have to. Most of the time it is a pleasure, but there are times when it hurts the soul in secret...
A man who understands this and shows her that she is still special and beautiful... holds the keys to her heart!
Good luck!

Anything that makes her feel loved, spoiled, and womanly.... massages are a bit tricky while pregnant, but great pedicures, foot massages, facials.... Sometimes the spas have specials for pregnant women, and even more fun, they have 'massages for two' where you can both get massages in the same room..... limo ride and tickets to a great show.... obviously luxurious dinner also, if she is comfy and likes to eat out...... something to take her mind off being a baby-maker and back to your beloved, beautiful wife.....
Combine them.... hubby gave me an afternoon at the spa with massage and facial, then they did my makeup and hair, then we went out to a special place after I was all done up.
What are her interests? Get something special to acknowledge those interests.... museum memberships or tours, new camera, art classes, cooking classes... what is she into? Get ideas by looking at the local adult ed catalogs..... Something you can do together.....something hubby and I did once was go on a tour of Little Italy in the local city.... we found some great stores and food suppliers and restaurants and bakeries only known by insiders and locals. It was a wonderful afternoon.
When I was pregnant my body was changing so fast I didn't know how I felt half the time..... sometimes I felt I was losing myself to becoming focused on the baby and the weight and the clothes that fit funny..... when the baby came it was hard to have the energy for the things I loved to do..... now all these years later, I realize I gave up a lot of time doing hobbies and things and traded that for time doing things with and for kids. While I LOVE doing that, I realize as the kids get older that I miss having things just for me.
Something else that is really cool, if she is so inclined, and you really need to know how she feels about it.... get a professional photographer to take gorgeous pictures of her now. My friend did this and they were beautiful.... tasteful, respectful, and just beautiful... we did some after the baby was born, too.... loving family photos with lots of natural shots.... you have to judge your comfort level but they are cherished. That might cost a bit more than you are thinking but it will be something to keep forever.
I don't know what you call inexpensive... but some of these things might only cost $50-300. To spend less you can use the ideas but do them on your own.... I just got a stone massage kit at Borders on sale for $20... a bottle of warming massage oil and a tub of warm water with scented salt for the feet.... focus on just her, then go for it wth candles and a romantic dinner and a chick flick!
How about put together a poem that tells all the things you love about her.... or a scrapbook of highlights of your life together.... something she will see you put time and thought into really really shows how much you love her. (if my hubby did that much work on a scrapbook I'd faint.) Do you built or make things? Use your talents and time to create something in her honor.
You can ALWAYS get things for her and the baby, but this is the last V-Day with just the 2 of you. Make it memorable!
Good luck to your family!!!

A gift certificate for a pedicure would be fab! Maybe a gift certificate for a massage (there are places that specialize in massages for moms to be. Call the local ones or her OB office, the nurses will know where to send her!) Hard working moms (and moms to be) need some pampering and will thank you for it!
You can also find foot fizzie/pampering gift sets at Bath & Body.

Aww, it's so sweet that you want to do something special for her!
Here's some ideas I could come up with. Hopefully you can find a few ideas from it or mix and match...
1. She'll already be getting a bunch of baby stuff from your families and friends, so it's probably better to stay away from that. You could offer to make her dinner, or take her out to dinner.
2. Get her a card, and write out how much she means to you, why you love her, and how you're excited to start a family with her. (And it never hurts to get her a simple peice of jewlery like a necklace with a little heart on it, if she's that kind of girl)
3. Flowers are always wonderful, and you could even write up little "coupons" for things like a foot rub (I bet her feet are killing her, being pregnant), for you to take a turn making dinner, or for a nnight on the town doing something she'd love. Magazines that she usually likes could be nice too, espeically if she's not working or is close to labor, it'll give her something to look at and read.
4. If you want to make something for her, Chocolate covered pretzels are easy and sweet. I actually made some yesterday that I'm giving as valentine gifts. (It ended up costing me about $5 for a bag of pretzels and the chocolate)
You can buy the chocolate anywhere, either bars of it or "almond bark" in the baking section.
that and a bag of pretzels.
You melt the chocolate on low heat, throw a few pretzels in at a time, take them out with a fork (letting it drip for a second to get the extra chocolate off), then put it on a cookie sheet (or pan) that you put wax paper or tin foil on top of (so it's the cookie sheet, wax paper/foil, then the dipped pretzels), then put them in the fridge for at least an hour. Finally they should be ready to take out! Then you can either put them in little bags or containers, whatever you'd like!

Oh...I can think of so many things. When I was prego, all I wanted was chocolate. HOWEVER, because my emotions were riding high, I was totally upset when my husband brought home chocolates because I was already getting huge.
So my suggestions:
1. jewelery (doesn't have to be extravagant)
2. perfumes or cologne (depending on what she likes)
3. cook dinner for her or take her to a special place for dinner (plan ahead, make reservations, give her roses, etc. - make it a real date).
4. if she likes to dance, take her out dancing or whatever she likes.
Chances are she's planning something special for you too.
Enjoy!

take her out for a special romantic dinner, or make a candlelit one at home and surprise her. or this may sound corny, but order chinese and slip an "i love you" fortune into the cookie. make sure you focus on her and not the fact that shes pregnant. anything you do will be nice, if it shows effort. i give u a thumbs up already, you still have 2 weeks and your already planning. most guys give it 2 min. good luck and have fun.

When are you getting married? Can you take some time off and elope?
Take her out for cherry chololate ice cream, ask her to marry you now. Help her pack a few things (or not) and just run away and get married.
PS I've been married twice, both times to the same man. Once for us, once for the family. No blood test required in arkansas, so we went to eureka springs. It was our time, what a memory.
