Wow! So many replies and advice on my question. Thanks a lot guys.
The consensus seems to be for 35mm now to decide between F1.2 or F2.

Don't let you fool you because there are many users voting for the 35mm. The 35 is one of the most sold lenses in Fujis lens lineup, almost everyone has a 35mm in it's bag. So it's obvious that many people use this lens, if they don't have a longer prime.

The 56mm is considered as THE Portrait lens, because it's 85mm equivalent that means the most natural look of faces. The shorter you get, the more unnaturally can a head or especially a nose look, if you get closer to the subject. So you need a bit of a distance, to get natural looking images of your newborn, and then it even might be a tad to short.

That's why I would also look at the 50/2. It's available since february, so it's obvious that not that many people here voted for this lens. If you have the chance to try these lenses out in a store, I would take that chance.
