Hello. Welcome to Yorkie Talk. My brother just had a newborn baby boy (he's 1 week today). I can give you an example of what he did to get his 3 year old big boy ready for the baby.

First, he let the dog spend a lot of time in the baby's room beffore it was even born.

We watched the dog while they went into the hospital to have the baby. I went to visit the baby and brought back one of his "dirty" blankets and outfits that had been worn. I let the dog smell it and gave him treats and praised him while he was sniffing it. Then, I put the items in his bed so he could sleep near the baby's scent.

The Shar Pei had never really been around small children except for my niece who is 12 now. I would try doing those things once the baby comes. Now, the dog sleeps by the baby's door and runs into his room to check on him whenever he hears baby Jack make a peep.

I hope I helped a little. Congratuations on the twins. I am sure with a little patience on everyone's part, your Yorkie will come around and be OK.
