I've just found out that my best friend is having a baby. Any advice on how to handle the situation?

I'm so happy for you and your friend! Congratulations! It's an exciting time in their lives, and it can be hard to know what to do or say when someone is expecting. Here are some tips to help make the transition smoother: 
1. Offer to help with any tasks they may need assistance with such as grocery shopping, cooking meals, or cleaning the house.
2. Ask questions about the pregnancy and birth process to learn more and show your support.
3. Remind them of all the fun times you’ve had together over the years, and tell them how much you care about them.
4. Let them know if there is anything you can do to help them get ready for the baby, such as providing childcare or helping with other errands.
5. Be patient and understanding if they don't seem to want to talk about the pregnancy right away. They might not feel comfortable talking about it yet, but they will eventually.
