blueiris, thats the key i think not to change their routine or life once bubs is home. If there are changes you'd like to make do them now, so they won't associate the changes with bubs.
Our dog was quite jealous, before DD was born I couldn't even give DH a hug without him jumping up or trying to wedge in between us! So everyday we would stand and cuddle until he stopped. I also let him in the nursery when ever he wanted, he wasn't banned from it at all, even now DD is home.
He is so excellent with DD. He leaves her and her toys alone. The worst he'll do is the odd lick as he walks past her. He is still an inside dog and is walked every day, we haven't changed his life.
