Are you a #dogmom turned human mom? If so, you know how crazy life gets once your little one arrives. Early mornings and up-all-nighters can disrupt anyone's routine - even your dogs. If you aren't quite there yet, don't fret! 

Life for you, and your fury family members, will be changing soon and many things will need to be addressed. But that doesn't mean this transition will be bumpy - with these tips (and a whole lotta patience) you will all be comfortable in no time.

 

Here are 4 things to do (or think about) before bringing home your new baby to meet your dogs. 

 

1. Where will the dog, and baby, be sleeping? If your dogs sleep in the same room as you, you might want to introduce them to another cozy area for them to snooze in your home. When you first bring your newborn home, they will be waking frequently and making lots of (loud) noises your dogs may be uncomfortable with. Try setting up your dogs bed in the living room, or outside your door, so they have a comfortable place to go to relax if needed. 

Insider tip: My dogs got used to the late night/early morning wakings within a few weeks. Some take longer than others, but just let them know that everything is okay and don't force them away if they want to "help."

2. Have you introduced your dogs to the nursery? As soon as you get your baby's room ready, it's a good idea to get your pups in there as much as possible.  They will be able to see the new baby gadgets up close and personal and have plenty of time to adjust to the new norm of having toys, diapers, and you name it thrown across the floor.

Insider tip: Once your baby is old enough for floor play, invite your dogs to come play with their toys too so they will feel included and get some pent up energy out. 

3. Make sure to have a PLAN. This refers to a number of things, such as, taking turns taking care of the dogs while the other tends to the baby, who takes the dogs on a walks/out to play each day, who will make sure the dogs are getting enough love and attention (I know - you may be thinking how will I forget that?! You won't necessarily forget, but life will get in the way and that's why I recommend a plan!) 

 

4. Embrace It: Forget what I just said in tip #3 because nothing EVER happens like you plan it. The word "plan" should have NO meaning to you whatsoever. And that's okay. Although it can be hard for some, try to take life as it comes. The best you can do is learn how to take life as it comes and do what's best for you and your family!

Insider tip: None of this will be easy for any new parent, but with your dog(s) by your side you will be able to get through anything! 

 

If you're a mom to be (congrats!) hopefully these tips will help you navigate your new normal.

Lost or Scammed Bitcoin meets expert solution by LEE ULTIMATE HACKER

My name is Leon Hogan, and I want to share the painful ordeal of losing my entire life savings due to a scam. I invested $55,000, which I had worked hard to save for both myself and my son, into a cryptocurrency exchange called CoinFx. At first, everything seemed legitimate, and my investments appeared to be growing. But when I tried to withdraw some of my funds, I encountered a “pending withdrawal” message on my account. I reached out to CoinFx’s customer support multiple times, hoping for a resolution. However, instead of helping, they froze my account and left me without any answers. Weeks passed, and despite all my attempts to contact them, I received no real solution. It became clear that I had been scammed, and my money was gone. Feeling desperate and with no other options, I began searching online for ways to recover my funds. That’s when I came across someone who recommended Lee Ultimate Hacker, a professional service dedicated to helping people reclaim money from online scams. Although I was initially skeptical, I decided to give them a try, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I reached out to Lee Ultimate Hacker, and they immediately began working on my case. They communicated with CoinFx on my behalf, and after a few days of persistent effort, they helped me unblock my account. To my relief, I was able to recover a significant portion of my investment. Lee Ultimate Hacker’s expertise and dedication were nothing short of amazing. They provided the support I needed during one of the most challenging times in my life. Their professionalism gave me confidence that I wasn’t alone in trying to recover my funds. Looking back, this ordeal has taught me valuable lessons about the importance of being cautious when making online investments. I now understand the need for thorough research and the risks involved. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly recommend reaching out to trusted recovery services like Lee Ultimate Hacker. They were instrumental in helping me recover my money, and I am incredibly grateful for their assistance.

Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v’e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33@gmail.com call him or whatsapp him +2348054338132 if you seek his help.
