  This made me burst into laughter!!!  We have a boxer also but he is almost 3 now.  He has started acting weird too.  He follows me everywhere!!!!!  I get up to get more drink from the kitchen and he comes to the kitchen, or the bathroom or waits IN the bathroom while I shower!  He is super sweet and is good with all the kids he has already been around including my one year old nephew.  Good luck with your puppy!

  Have you been doing anything to prepare him for the baby?  There's a number of things you can do beyond a behaviorist.  Little things like playing baby sounds, getting him use to baby scents, switching around his schedule a little, working on bad habits now etc.

  Our min pin/dachshund mix sleeps with us and has since we got her. She's only about 12 pounds and full grown.  Anyway, she used to walk across my mid section to get her spot in the bed but ever since I got pregnant, she goes out of her way to go clear down to my calves before she makes her way across me to her spot.  It's like she senses something different about my belly.  She's very careful.  She loves to lay her head on my belly too.  It's so cute.  She looks up at me whenever she feels the baby kick.

  My two yr old yorkie has been in a funk. She HAS to be touching me when she lays down and likes to follow me around (she used to be very independent). I think she's realizing she's moving down the bench!

  My two have to be in eye view of me constantly and in the morning if I am not sitting on the couch with them, they will sit and stare at me with this sad puppy face you see below

  

  I really think they know something is up...

  My dog and my cat have been acting differently, but it is mostly the dog.  He HAS to be right on me whenever I am at home, and prefers to just be in my lap....he is 110 lbs (see pic below) and my lap is disappearing on a daily basis!

  He is 1 1/2 years old and has reverted back to some puppy things he used to do, but we are nipping that in the bud before he gets too off track!

  We have started trying to get them ready for the baby.  Every time something new for the baby comes is the house I leave it out for them to sniff and get used to.  The dog has always slept with us, but that is not going to work when I am getting up for feeding all night so we have already moved him to his new spot and acted like it was a treat for him to get the whole basement (which has a sofa he's allowed on) by himself at night.

  They are around babies often with my nieces and nephews so I am not too worried about baby noises and stuff, but after I have the baby when DH comes home to let the dog out/feed/play with him he will bring a blanket that the baby has used so that they can smell it and I am going to let them have a full on sniff-a-thon when the baby comes in the house for the first time.

  Is there anything else that anyone thinks I should be doing??
