Good advice above^
It's important to remember that dogs are pack animals so be sure to include the dog as much as you always have. If you go to change the diaper, have the dog come with you. If the dog sleeps next to your bed normally, continue that too. Try to maintain the same routines as before that your had with your dog. They are essentially your babies new brother/sister. The dog may be curious about the baby so it is fine to let it sniff it whenever. The dog will establish a new pecking order with the baby. Since I'm the alpha, I made it a point to carry in the baby and greet my dog while carrying the baby too. Basically like bringing in a new pack dog.
As long as your dog respects the packing order and alpha you shouldn't have any issues. It has been a fun road watching my dog adapt to your kids and bond with my daughter. She is 6 now and he loves her as much as I do. It's really cute to watch them snuggle.
