Must be nice! Beans is a light sleeper, so keeping her asleep once she falls asleep is in the best interest of my sanity.

Like monster said, your sanity will be better preserved by having a baby that can sleep with regular levels of noise, including dogs. It's a harder row to hoe, AT FIRST, but not even close to how hard it will be to maintain quiet sleeping conditions indefinitely. I promise you, she will learn to sleep despite noise, even if the it's rough in the beginning. Really. Trust me.
