...I am so envious hearing you talk about it!!! and so very excited/happy for you. We have a new baby coming (Miss Chloe) but will be several more weeks before she is ready. I cant wait to follow your post over the next few weeks (will keep me busy) to see how it is all going and see that cute little face.
I used a ferret/soft mesh style harness so it was not so binding/hard and left it on Cooper all day when he was a baby....I just went to the craft store and bought jingle bells and attached one on his harness instead of the collar, and worked wonders for us we could always hear where he was when we moved.
Congrats to you!!! let me warn you though you will be shocked how fast that baby stills your husbands heart! My DH is a big guy and him and Cooper just love each other to pieces...he actually calls me on his break to ask what Cooper is doing...LOL.
