your story sounds a lot like our pugs when we were expecting our first. We did some research on the internet on how to properly introduce a baby to the dogs and it worked out really well for us.

Be sure to do your own research but some of the highlights included bringing home a blanket the baby had been wrapped in before the baby comes home. Then once the baby is at home, one of you holds the baby above the dog for a long time. The dog only gets to smell the baby when you say so. You're supposed to softly talk to the dog and let the dog understand that it's role is to protect the baby, but the baby is ahead of it on the pecking order. For us it took about an hour, but the results were phenominal, literally from day 1.

Best of luck
