StarandBratsmom,

So we'll agree to disagree and still be friends.. That what happens here. Everyone has their own opinions on different subjects.

My only concern with Star being outside are predators. But as long as she's indoors at night, she should be safe. And I was very serious about finding Star a home if that's what you decide.

It's very easy to introduce a newborn to Star. You just have to do it in a gradual way. Before the baby comes home, take a baby blanket and rub the baby's head with it. Bring it home and let Star sniff it. When you bring the baby home, have hubby carry the infant in while to pamper over Star. If you don't want Star in the baby's room, close the door and get one of those baby monitors.

I hope things work out for you. I'd definitely have hubby tested for allergies. It may be as simple as dust in your house. But you'll never know till you test for it.

I do not have anything against pregnant women. I was one myself MANY years ago. But I read about pregnant women who read crap about sucking the air out of the baby, etc., all wive's tails. I also know the hormonal mood swings. Fun, huh??

I wish you luck and please keep me posted. If there is anything I can do on my end, if it comes down to finding Star a new home, please let me know. I have alot of contacts. I'm glad your mom offered to take her IF there's a problem. Try to relax and concentrate on that precious cargo you've got. Who knows?? Maybe the baby and Star will be the best of buds once they get used to each other.
