Try the reverse crunches ... lie on your back, bring your legs above your head and slowly lower them to just above the floor and repeat that 50 times ...

Congrats on the new little one!

Technically the abs are one muscle, there is no set upper and lower abs. However ttdriver is correct reverse crunches or thrusts will be your best bet if you want to give it a shot. I personally do full body crunches you can do what some people refer to as a "V-Crunch" where you bring your legs straight out and up, than your upper body foward to touch your hands to where your feet are forming a V shape.
