My Teacher just had a baby, how do I congratulate her

favorite












My Japanese teacher just gave birth and our long-term sub is having us make cards to congratulate her, we need to write something in Japanese, and I want to write something different than what she supplied us with, to spice it up or whatever. What would be appropriate to say in my card?



Edit: I'm not exactly sure what I want to say, but the phrase the sub gave us was the same thing for the entire class:




あかちゃん おめでとうございます




She said we could do something different, and I want it to be something that an actual Japanese student might say to their teacher had a baby to congratulate them. I'm only in Japanese 1, so I know hiragana and some words and phrases, but not nearly enough Japanese to write anything that would actually make sense in this context.

          I'll give a few simple common phrases...




          [赤]{あか}ちゃんのおたんじょう、おめでとうございます。



          かわいい or げんきな [赤]{あか}ちゃんのおたんじょう、おめでとうございます。



          ご[出産]{しゅっさん}、おめでとうございます。



          かわいい[女]{おんな}の[子]{こ}のおたんじょう、おめでとうございます。(← when the baby is a girl)



          げんきな[男]{おとこ}の[子]{こ}のおたんじょう、おめでとうございます。(← when the baby is a boy)




          Maybe you could add at the top...




          祝・ご出産






          For those who want more formal phrases...




          ご出産、心よりお慶び申し上げます。



          赤ちゃんの or お子様の ご誕生、心からお慶び申し上げます。



          新しい家族のご誕生、心よりお祝い申し上げます。




          etc...

            Is there a particular reason you've spelt よろこび two different ways?
