Lot's of good advice from everybody so far. I have two daughters, 17 and 14 now, and can remember the day each of them was born.
I want to reiterate what Mal said earlier....Your daughters impression of men for the rest of their lives will be formed by you. This is your most important role besides providing for them. They will notice everything about how you treat their Mom. If you are mean and yell at her, they will tolerate that in the boys and men they date and (gasp) marry. If you show outward affection, they will expect that of their men, too. I think, and maybe I'm overthinking this, that your role as husband becomes even more important when you have girls.
You can see by the responses of the females, their Dad's were their heroes. Try to be one for your daughters.
I had an old girlfriend whose father was a complete a-hole and she just never could trust a man....she was afraid he would let her down like her father did. She ended up marrying a guy who was just like her Dad. Had three boys, treated her bad, cheated on her, and then left. Don't be that guy. Her sons are very jaded now. They are scared to get involved because they think it will turn out bad
Keep your same enthusiasm. Good luck and good fortune.
