    You could get him "the first of many ties"

    Or a coffee mug that says "Dad" on it

    A TOOL BELT... get a tool belt from the hardware store but fill it with things like diaper cream, baby wipes, burp cloths, baby rattles , etc... very fun... you can make it as useful or not as you want!

    How bout some fancy ear plugs, although some men aparantly can sleep through crying and all the other random requests that come during the night lol. I can think of a serious gift but thats a good gag one.

    Depending on his and your style, pregnancy pictures could be a lot of fun and a great way to show off the new little one in his or her current stage of life. I know not everyone is into this sort of thing. And/or, you could give a "coupon" for something fun that the two of you like to do but maybe haven't been able to do for a while (night out, maybe) - that is, IF you have someone (his or your mom?) who might be able to watch baby sometime soon after baby is born.

    How about planning a romantic dinner, followed by a massage by you, followed by his favorite fantasy?
    ....after all, he is going to be going through a drought soon enough.

    Do you know if you're having a boy or girl yet? I got a dark blue onesie for my boy and a pink one for my girl when I was pregnant then used Iron-on letters and numbers to make them look like a sports jersey. Also did a matching one for dad to wear too. I used a zero for the baby to be and 1 for Dad's (as in #1 dad). HTH. There are some excellent ideas on here!

    You could make a list of all the reasons why you chose him to be the father of your child(ren) and frame it.

    Or pick something that you will give him every year... something he can collect. A beer stein, a dad tee shirt... something that you can do every year.
