Non pregnancy question but I need advice

Jesika • 04.10.13.07.25.16.08.22.17
My daughters dad is in prison . He is getting out in January . Well me and my boyfriend (whom I'm pregnant by) have been together since September. Well mine and my exs daughter will be 3 in April and me and my boyfriend want to do something special just by herself for her birthday . Take her to sea world or something (she really loves animals and we live in Florida .) but I am stuck on the fact that her dad has missed all her birthdays since her 1st . He chose not to come to the first one . He was in jail for her 2nd . 
And I feel like apart of me should let him come along too . But then the other part of me doesn't because everytime he is around me he tries to start stuff with me . We were always fighting when we were together . And I don't need that kind of stress and I don't want to put my current boyfriend through it . Since my current boyfriend has been around my daughter he has done more for her then her own father has . He never once got her anything for her birthday or Christmas . And everytime he was around he just tried to get in my pants . 
Any thoughts ?
