I was scared to death when my nephew was born -- we hadn't had a child in the family for almost 20 years, and none of my friends has kids. Absolutely *0* child experience.
Now, I've got a great relationship with my nephew. I agree with everything everyone said. I would probably also bring one little gift (toy)to her right when you meet, something small. Kids seem to get so excited when you give them a little present. Not to bribe them, but I think they, like all people, like to think you were thinking of them....
