Speaking as a birth mother, I think flowers with a special vase is a lovely idea. I would have appreciated receiving such a gift in the hospital.
Have you considered giving her a nice journal for her to write down her thoughts? I always like journals, especially the hardcover bound ones. Another option would be a nice photo album that she could use to put the pictures you'll be sending her through the coming months and years. The ones with archival paper are best -- they don't deteriorate the photographs with time like non-archival ones do.
You must be so excited!! Good luck, and be sure to tell us all about your new baby when he or she comes home to you!
