Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Newborn Circumcision

My girlfriend and I are having a child in two months.She wants the child to be circumcised.Do I have any say or does she have every right since we're not married? She wants the child baptised right away and to pick the godparents.Do I have any legal rights to disagree with that?
