Hey Leanne! You will have to let me know how Leila and Fieval react to the baby. I am SOOOO worried about how Del will be too. He had his first encounter with a baby about 2 months ago. My lia sophia manager had to bring her baby to our meeting (it was at my house) and he didn't do too well with it. He started to growl a bit and then started barking at her...it was like he was afraid of her. He wouldn't bite or anything but I won't be able to handle the barking. There is this one girl in my lia sophia group that is a dog trainer. She comes into your home and helps give you tips and to fix behavior problems. I think when (or IF) I get pregnant, I will have her come in to help me out. I know its my fault that Del is so spoiled and protective of me because I am holding and carrying him everywhere with me. It's going to be hard for him to adjust.
I try to work on him not jumping and pawing (just like you said) to be picked up or petted all the time but I can't help his cute face and give in everytime. LOL...as I type this, he is sitting here on my lap at work. I can't help it...he is my baby and I treat him just like one. Erik yells at me all the time that I need to stop spoiling him so much.
Anyway, good luck with your little guys. Let me know if you are interested in that dog trainer I mentioned. She seems REAL good and I like how they come to your house too.
Good luck with your appt!!! It's so amazing to see the baby on an u/s. I hope you are feeling better too.

Hi Lesli,
I just got back from my appt. and I am actually farther along than they thought. I am15 weeks so my due date got pushed up.
I will have to let you know about the trainer. Thanksgiving will be the test; my cousins are bringing their newborns so we will see how she reacts to two babies in the house. Leila is so spoiled not only by me but my mom and DH. She gets carried around and loved way too much. She even gets jealous of our laptops and tries to wiggle between our hands and laptops to get us to pet her when we?re typing, it is really ridiculous, but like you said I give in to her cute face way too easily.
Fievel will be scared for sure but he doesn?t bark or growl so I am not worried about him. He will just keep his distance until he is comfortable getting closer.
