Hey, I am kind of in the same boat, my daughter is 7 months old and its our 7 year anniversary this Sunday. My little girl goes to bed at about 8:00 so Sat night I am going to cook him his favorite meal and dessert and then rent a movie and snuggle on the couch. We are kind of tight on money and can't get a babysitter either so we will just keep it low. I did get him a card, I think he will be happy with it. He really just wants to spend some alone time with me. Usually when I get our daughter to bed I have to get the clothes washed, clean the dishes etc. so we barely have time for each other. So tomorrow night I plan to let everything go and relax with him. If he is anything like your husband than this should work great for you. Trust me you don't need all the fancy stuff, your husband just wants some alone time with you. Get the kids in bed and cuddle! Good luck, and congrats on the new addition to your family. Just read gypsy's answer above mine, and she is right. Especially since you probably are not going to be able to be intimate, you know what I mean.

put the kids in bed a little early that night, if you can get the baby to sleep the same time as your 2 year old that should give you at least 2 hours.
Buy some wine ahead of time, put on some lingerie or whatever makes you feel sexy, ( iknow its hard 2 weeks after having a baby but..) light some candles and lay downa blanker or comforter on the floor and give your man a backrub or body massage, whatever he likes. Or make a really nice dinner and eat together. or take a bath together , or just lay in each others arms and talk about how good he makes you feel..ect... anything romantic like that would be great and you would have enough time to do it before the next breastfeeding :)

Do something simple. I'm sure he is just as tired as you are. If he works that day pack his lunch and leave a romantic little note... tell him that you love him and that you cannot wait to see him when he gets home. Rent one of the first movies you two ever watched together (obviously one you both enjoyed) make some popcorn, light some candles, and just lay on the couch together and hold each other. Of course put the 2 year old to bed first.... and try laying the little one down... i know how it is to have a little one they don't just go to sleep when you want them to... but it wouldn't matter if she was in the same room in a bassinet or something... just enjoy each others company.

Since you can't get rid of the kids, incorporate them into your plan! When he gets home that day, have your 2 year old go up to him with flowers or a card at the door. Have the baby holding a preswent in his lap (small of course) and cook a romantic candel dinner where the four of you can eat arounf the table. Then have him put the kids to bed while you get the bedroom ready for a noght of romance. Get a new set of sexy undies and get candles and strawberries and whiped cream.

After you get the kids to bed you two could have a romantic dinner together. Also you and your two year old could bake a cake for him. Your husband will enjoy something that is homemade and that is coming from his family.

Most men are simple creatures, sorry if this comes out too crude. But dinner and a bj would probably make him the happiest. And if he's got a sweettooth make him his favorite dessert.

Make him dinner and a cake, let your 2 year make him a card, and write him letter telling him how much you love him and what a great husband and father he is.

you could make him a card w/ your children's foot prints on it. you could make him his favorite meal. even though u are probaly so tired, you could cater to him all day and tell him it is because of his birthday.
