okay i dont have kids BUT Gatsby has been around kids from the ages of two to sixteen and soon my god daughter who is only 2 months old what i would do is decide when you want kids if its right away then maybe wait a few years before getting a dog if you want to wait a year or two for kids then get the dog now and when you are ready go to your local girl scout troup and ask to barrow a baby-think-it-over they will probably charge you a rental fee what the baby-think-it-over is is a babay doll on a real infant scedule it crys and needs feed and wakes up in the middle of the night once you have the doll go to the hospital and ask for used spit clothes and diapers (gross i know but this works) and put them around the baby doll then let your dog explore and smell the baby and get used to the time and attension a baby will need then when you get pregnant start takeing time out of everyday to do baby things fould clothes decorate and show your dog when your doing baby things they cant be thear but you will come back and then when you have the baby bring home clothes and blankets and yes more messed diapers so your dog can get used to the smell of your baby and be more comfortable and less noisey when you bring baby home
hope this helps
