Just found out my wife and I are having a baby girl
Congratulations! I have a year old daughter, so she's not dating yet - so I'm sorry but I can't give any advice.
I have written a guide for helping new dads deal with pregnancy, birth and babies however!
Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great.Congratulations! I have two daughters, 17, and 13, and I am so thrilled to be their mom, but my older daughter is just starting to date, and I can tell that my husband is totally freaking out! We don't have any guns, but that is probably best, or some boys out there might be in danger. LOL.
Really though, enjoy your daughter.
Congrats! you sound so excited and happy .. so lovely
Never had daughters myself would have loved one.. just enjoy the waiting period taking good care of the Mom to be.....congrats....don't know what it'll be like in the future...call block came in handy for me at one time....doesn't work that way now...and whisperin' the rules to the boys over and over....figured they'd remember my words and have me in their thoughts and see my face when the time was right (or i should say wrong?)
......just enjoy and don't worry about later for now....Congrats! Girls ROCK!
Congratulations! And I may not be a parent but maybe I can share a few things from a daughter's point of view? Try not to be too overbearing because when your daughter will reach that age and might want to get to know a few boys, if you don't allow her or too strict, this might cause a few arguments between the two of you. Why not just try to establish a really good and open relationship, so that she feels she can run to you for everything, no matter how awkward or embarrassing. And through that, you both can set certain agreements or boundaries (like curfews, etc)and am sure she will be more willing to listen and follow your requests. Well, it worked for me
And if this doesn't help, you can always go for the gun thing My dad does not show his guns but whenever a boy visits me, my Dad displays his huge trophies he won in various shooting competitions Haha!
Good luck and congratulations again!Congratulations!
Congratulations! I am happy for you.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Any day now my husband will have his fourth girl (she's a week past her estimated due date), and he seems to be going through the very same thought processes since the moment he found out I was pregnant...he decided from the start that this would be a girl, so when the ultrasound proved him right it didn't really change his thinking.
For scaring dates...well, I hear with his oldest he did a pretty darn good job of that by just happening to be sharpening axes when her date turned up, and had a nice long talk with him about how important how his daughter is treated is to him...along with a short run-down of my husband's previous temper issues, including inciting two riots. It didn't work too well for scaring the date AWAY, but he was scared enough to treat her really well for the year and a half they were together
. That said, he does have one of those sunshiney personalities that really makes people want to take him at his word rather than test just how much he'll enjoy carrying out his promises.Awww what great news! You sound like you will probaby be a great dad just by the enthusiasm you express here, try not to worry too much. Dads and daughters seem to have a special bond, guess Moms and sons have a similar special bond

As for protecting your daughter later on, just be there for her and always let her know that you are. Wonderful news - congrats! Happy for you both
