We have been wondering how our two "oldest children" (the dogs) will react to the baby once they figure out they need to share Mama's lap with yet another small creature. Prince is a definite Mama's boy, who has seemed to have gotten even more desperately sensitive about being separated from me. When I was in Canada for a week with my family, Dan said that Prince would sit by the front door and cry, and get fits where he would just shake and tremble all over. Poor baby! It could be that he actually senses the baby, and has become attached or nervous about the baby being away from him too.
Romeo, I think, will be the protector of the little one. He is very protective in general, and very sensitive to emotions. Last evening, I was rocking in the rockin chair, and the 2 dogs both cuddled up in my lap (which is shrinking quickly, by the way!) Romeo put his head against my belly and quickly fell asleep. It was so peaceful and adorable!
Any tips for adjusting with pets and a new baby? Just curious!
