Step 1: Husband gets brilliant idea to use new camcorder to take video of my belly in a vain effort to persuade the world that I am, in fact, pregnant.
Step 2: Have equally brilliant idea to include dog in video since, well, he's cute.
Step 3: Take video that consists entirely of self asking dog where the baby is over and over again until he tries to see if I have a treat in my hand. At this point, make a bizarre snorting/laughing sound that will doubtless be mocked by family and friends who receive said video.
Step 4: Hook camcorder up to computer to view video and completely mess with the dog's head when my voice comes out of somewhere that is clearly not my mouth.
Step 5: Dog totally freaks out about the entire situation and proceeds to race around the room until he is forcibly held down by self and husband to get a calming belly rub.
Step 6: Realize that this scene will be repeated many, MANY times in the future when we actually make home movies and show them on the TV. Groan.

Wait until the actual baby gets there! I hope you have friends with some small children to acclimate him before your arrival. I strongly recommend 'Child Proofing Your Dog' by Brian Kilcommons if you're looking for a good book on the subject.
Ha--and I wonder how the baby will react when he/she sees the dog on the computer or the sound coming from somewhere other than the dog!
I'm curious as to whether your computer is a flat screen and as to the age of your dog! (I know --- what?). I have 2 dogs, 1 is 11, the other is just over a year. My puppy *loves* anything flat screen (TV, computer, you name it).. while my older dog (my true baby), doesn't acknowledge their presence, regardless of what's on them!
I saw a documentary recently about this and was amazed to see it happen in my house... youngers dogs are "keeping up w/ the times" and enjoying HD and flat screens.
Just a thought!
PS: Love ur bump!
