SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Ellie,
Congratulations! Your little bundle of joy has arrived at last! I had heard from our friend Christie that you were two weeks’ overdue so when your husband rang me last night to tell me the baby had been born, I was thrilled to get the news. A little girl – how wonderful!
I won’t visit you in the hospital because I know you’ll be very tired, but once you are back at home, I’ll come and see you both. I think the weekend after next might be a good time – how about Sunday, late morning? Would that suit you?
I’d like to bring a little gift for the baby, perhaps a soft toy of some kind, maybe a teddy bear. The toy store in the shopping mall has a huge selection so I’m sure to find something nice and cuddly. I’ll definitely come with some food, too. I’ll bring lunch, of course, but also some food that you can put in the freezer and eat at a later date. It might save you having to cook a few meals – you’ll be able to put your feet up instead!
Best wishes,
