I just wanted to add, that I missed our dogs terribly once DD was born. Time was so scarce for me, my mum was away so I didn't have immediate back up once DH went back to work to give me a break. Once baby is here, try not to beat yourself up too much if your time is limited. It will pass. Because one dog was so freaked by the pram (and this is the more playful and relaxed dog), walking them in the early days was impossible for me and I felt so guilty. But we found a routine and life that worked for us all.
