Ashley Tisdale’s husband had momentary fears of becoming a girl dad.
Tisdale, 35, is the first to admit she could barely contain her excitement in welcoming a daughter.
“I was obviously excited because I definitely wanted a girl, for sure,” she tells PEOPLE. “But I am also someone who goes with the flow on a lot of stuff. I try to not have expectations in moments like that and just allow what is meant to be. I was very excited. I think my husband definitely was scared — he looked a little scaredin the pictures!”

Health and wellness is a priority for Tisdale, who launched a new lifestyle website this year calledFrenshe. When she became a mom-to-be, she says she didn’t switch up much about her routine, except perhaps focussing even more on what her body was telling her.
“I haven’t changed anything crazy,” says Tisdale. “I would say that Itryto be eating the healthiest when I can, but there’s gonna be moments where I obviously crave stuff that’s not always the healthiest meal, but I’m allowing myself to be okay.”
“When I say that, it’s because I usually am on a strict diet of no carbs and all these veggies and grains,” she adds. “So yeah, if I want a gluten-free bagel, I allow myself to have a gluten-free bagel! I let my body speak to what I need. I feel like if I’m craving something, there’s a reason I’m craving steak that night. I am in tune with my body. I try to keep up with my workouts because that’s so helpful, and just try to be well-rounded.”

“The advice is definitely a real thing from your friends and family, for sure,” she says with a laugh. “… It’s very funny because my mom will always be like, ‘Well, we did this,’ and I’m like, ‘I know, but I’m not gonna do that that way.’ This is just who I am. I think that the advice is really funny. But it’s expected!”
