While the GAL visits, the best thing you can do is be yourself. Relax (as much as posssible). Don't try to over-impress, but make it clear that you know what you are doing and that you love your child. If they are there when the child is there then interact as much as possible. Again, don't over-do it. It seems as though your whole life depends on this brief interaction so make the best of it. I wish you well.
P.S. As big an undertaking as it may seem..childproof it ALL..it may speak volumes for you.
