Hello ugongmk
First off, Congratulations! How exciting.
I'm sure you will get tons of suggestions, but you can always strum C - Am - Dm - G. That's the so-called 1625 progression, very comforting. Or, change the key to F - Dm - Gm - C. You can sing Blue Moon to it.....
Cheers

yeah brother I know a couple, one called "Hey, Little Brand New Baby" by Tom Paxton (I think) and another called "Nothin But A Child" by Steve Earle. Pete Seeger has one called "Little Fat Baby" which is gorgeous and very moving too...
Congrats!
Our daughter is nine weeks old, so I'm only a little bit ahead of you. Maeve loves any song finger-picked, especially Ken Middleton's arrangement of "I'll Fly Away." I think the tab is still on his site.
Otherwise, I don't think it matters so much what you play. Man, wait until you see him/her watching you -- it's pretty much the best thing ever.
Cheers.

Eh, the kid ain't cognizant at this point, so I suggest something that the mom-to-be likes.

Cognition aside, I would say that if I was going to be a dad I would want my kid to hear all the wonderful things Mr. Woodrow Wilson Guthrie gave us...including many children's songs, none of them hard to play. Great thread over in the video section showing just precisely how to do so on an ukulele.
And Congratulations!
And Congratulations!

Sweet Pea by Amos Lee
Yeah, that'll allow for the strings to settle properly - and perhaps dad-to-be to get the whole Dolphin set up a bit (adjust action, maybe some new Aquilas, ....)May as well order a Makala Dolphin for the kid now
Anyway, I always refused to buy any baby presents before the baby was actually born - pregnancy is a mystery and zillions of things could happen along that journey...
