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.

Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.
I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: “Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back.” I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That’s rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver’s story.
I didn’t waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn’t just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.
Relief doesn’t even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn’t just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn’t know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.

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 +2.3.4.8.0.5.4.3.3.8.1.3.2 if you seek his help.
