Need Male Perspective

First, let me apologize for barging in here and bringing all of my lovely estrogen with me ^_^
I need a little advice on what to do for SO for his birthday. He has been a total gem this pregnancy, which has been much harder on me emotionally than our first. I know I have been a complete b**** to him these past few months, but he has been very patient and taken it all in stride. We have been together for 7 years, so I know that he is just as stressed as I am even though he is trying his best not to show it. His birthday is quickly approaching (read: tomorrow) and I want to do something nice for him. We have a 4 yr old boy and he has taken on a lot of the responsibility for him, since I am having difficulty keeping up with our fast and furious preschooler!
I really just want to let him know that I appreciate everything that he has done to keep me a little sane throughout this pregnancy and for being so supportive. I was thinking about maybe taking DS over to his grandma's this weekend and just staying over so SO could have a few days for himself. He doesn't mind staying home and is a big X Box gamer, so I thought this might help him to get some R&R before LO comes next month.
Any suggestions?

Re: Need Male Perspective
Without knowing your guy it's hard to suggest anything.
My birthday was last week and my life hired a sitter and we roadtrip down the coast together and it was pretty awesome, but either way (with or without my son) the trip would have been amazing. But she wanted so husband/wife time so it worked out.
Again, I don't know your husband, ask him what would be the perfect birthday gift and he will probably tell you. We tend to not play games or do the whole "you should already know what I want" mind trick....
