You get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep? You lucky dog! My guy tops out at 3 1/2 and at night is usually up 3 or 4 times between midnight and 6 when I leave for work. Thankfully my wife understands and tries to make sure that I get more rest since I'm the breadwinner. We have a team approach on the weekends, but weekdays she's taking all the childcare on herself. That's not to say that my coffee intake hasn't gone from 2 cups to 5 cups a day in the last 2 week, though.
If your wife can't go out, then I think that you might consider bringing everything to her. Maybe you could get a massuese to come to your house. Craigslist? Go buy a nice bottle of wine and share it after she's finished feeding your daughter? You could even hire a chef to cook a gourmet meal if it fits your budget. If not, you could do takeout from a nice place or something like that.
When faced with this topic myself last time (this one was much easier on her), I asked myself what she was missing the most and then brought it to her. You might even want to discuss it with her if a surprise isn't imperitive.
