How 'bout a certificate for a day of maid or overnight nanny service, food gift certificates (for non-pizza places that deliver), gift cert. for babysitting and a spa for mom, your own time watching the kid while mom takes a shower or nap, or food you actually make yourself (casserole, lasagne, etc) wrapped for the freezer?
You could also go with items for when the kids are older, nice photo albums (they'll get used eventually) gift certificate for diapers, or a gift certificate for any kids store that she can use to buy whatever they need. Also, books for kids are always fine gifts.
-TL
Edited to add that whatever you take, also take something small (token gift - nothing $$$) and wrapped for #1 - a big brother gift. The parents will appreciate it and #1 will not feel so left out of all the fuss.
