How do you plan for raising little girls?

We don't yet know if we are having a boy or a girl, although I can't help but think it's a girl.  If it is a girl, I'm worried already about how I'm going to raise her not to have body image issues.  I don't know anyone that doesn't have them. 

I read this and thought it was good advice to recall for the future:
