1 of my work colleagues had his first baby. He had 2 days off work to spend with his wife and new bub - how very sweet!
Of course as soon as I see him in the office I say a big "congratulations!" and go back to my little desk. He comes to my little work station to do some work - I'm compelled to ask about the kid. I ask the obvious question "What is his name?" Once I'm told I'm stumped! What do I ask next? Damn uncomfortable silence, sometimes I wish I was a little clucky (hate that word).
A congratulations cake in the office at 11am today!

You can always do the generic baby questions:
* How big was he/she?
* How long was the labour?
* Is mum recovering well?
* Have you got the grandparents visiting to help out?
We've had a LOT of babies born to people who work in the office I'm in (either employees or wives of employees), to the point where people joke about there being something in the water that makes you pregnant (god I hope not!). You do get used to making the baby small talk.
