That sounds good! make sure you say congrats in it as well. I new a woman who had a child born with a disability and she said not one person told her congratulations, they all just wrote letters on how sorry they were and that they would pray for her and the baby. She was really upset about this because she accepted her son from the begining and wanted others to as well. Hope this helps.
That is an excellent point. I would try to treat this birth just as any other birth. It's a beautiful miracle no matter how difficult it may seem right now. I am horrible with words but I'd maybe acknowledge what is going on, but move on to congratulate them.

I think Nomilyn's thing was great... "Take every blessing, no matter how small, as a new and different beginning. your family is in our prayers"
