Answer :

God be with her for the next 18 years too! If they are close friends or family and I’ve been keeping up with the whole ordeal, I will ask how the mother and baby are doing. If I’ve just heard of the news or only know them casually, I will ask if it’s a boy or a girl. Congrats on being…soon to be re-aunted? (Boy, that sounds awkward.)
