Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Chinese response to people who have given birth.

Anyone know a proper response in Chinese to someone who has just given birth? 恭喜?祝贺你? These all sound a little mundane/situationally unspecific. Perhaps there's an idiom used?

A Chinese friend says you can say 恭喜你们喜得贵子。
And then add some 成语 like 合家欢乐 and 白头到老!

Just hope that the followings are not too difficult for you.

Coincidentally ran into those two links when I looked up "喜得贵子". Interesting read so far. Many thanks to both of you, this is a big help.
