Once she is home with her new child:

Drop off a meal for the night after they return home. She will be unbelievably tired and will be diving into adjustments immediately.

Call after a few days just to check up.

Bring a gift over along with the meal. It's so nice to know your friends are embracing your new addition, but reserve a small amount of your gift budget (which doesn't have to be large to begin with), so that you can bring a small gift the day you get to meet the child.

Don't get hurt if she doesn't have the capacity to talk much for the first few weeks, or if she doesn't invite you over to meet the new addition for several weeks (the attachment process requires isolation for a while).

After she has been home about 10 - 14 days, call her up to see if she is interested in dinner out, just the girls.

Friends are so important, she will be very grateful to you for whatever you do.
