Many people have asked us what we are going to do about ESPN when the baby comes??? If you know us at all you know he has been our pride and joy and baby for the last 3 1/2 years almost 4 years. He is so special to us and we love him a lot. We are pretty sure he will be just fine with the baby. We know he will be jealous at first but we have high hopes they will become the best of friends.
There have been some changes for him in the past few months. The big one has been that he got kicked out of his room. We had a spare room that was his, and now it is the nursery.
He still goes in the nursery looks around and lays down on the floor. He loves the new carpet I think!
We plan to take blanket to the hospital with us, then rub it on her and then send it home to ESPN. This way he will get use to her smell, so when she comes home he will already know her smell. This is our hope!
Any one else have any suggestions? We are up for any kind of help. We want bringing her home to be good for both of them!

I don't have any suggestions to offer, but can I just say that picture of Espn in the baby crib is too cute!!!
At our hospital, the 1st baby hat they put on the baby they give it you when they go to bathe her and put on a new clean one. You're supposed to take the first hat home for the pets to smell. We have a friend who tried to prep the dog by playing loud noises to simulate crying and other friends who prepped their dogs by pulling on ears and tails and teaching it not to nip or bite incase their kids got rough with it. Now we don't have pets so I don't know if it works, but it did for our friends.
