You've been w/mom for a month, and are just getting ready to meet the child? Bravo for mom! That means you mean something to her. Don't stess too much about the child. Be a friend, and observe her reaction(s). Go from there. Father's not in her life; you are not the father. Things may happen that you do not agree with - talk to the mother, and let her deal w/the child. Eventually, you may have a role for discipline, but for now leave it to the mother. She may not be yours, but treat her as if she is, as best you can. Being a father can be the best thing in life, and it takes a lot to be a father.
