Baby vs Dog

I am due in December with my first baby. I have a bunch of dogs in my house because I share a house with a lot of people. (I had some family in need of a place to stay so i remodeled the house so they could stay here..they brought their dogs). We currently have 6 dogs in my house. We have plenty of room for the dogs themselves but we are running out of room in my house..it’s noisy and the dogs are always making messes. I have explained to them that I’m getting fed up with the messes the dogs make, but they defend their dogs like their children saying they don’t know any better. My mamaw has a dog that has bitten my mom and dad more than twice and drew blood each time...I told my mamaw she was either going to get it under control or I will personally take care of the dog because I will not let anything happen to my child due to her dog..my brothers dog is constantly moving under peoples feet and causing people to fall and break things..my parents dogs are huge and they bring them in the house and refuse to leave them outside because it’s “too cold” (it’s really not). Then there’s my dog. Which she’s a little dachshund beagle mix so she’s a trouble maker (getting into trash, constantly searching for food even though we’ve already fed her, stuff like that) well I rescued her 12 years ago almost 13 from a friends house. My friend and I were hanging out and we saw someone drive past her house and threw out two little puppies. So she took one and I took the other and we took care of them. Now my dog is my little fur baby and I love her a ton. It breaks my heart to think of getting rid of her, but she jumps to much and she makes to many messes, my mom keeps telling me that if she jumps into my sons crib to lick anything off of him (she will sniff any kind of food out and she will get to it no joke), that she could suffocate him. She got into a fight with my brothers Great Dane the other day and she has holes from where his dog bit her...we already talked to my brother about his dog and he said he was totally fine getting rid of his dog because she attacked our neighbor when he came over because he sat on the couch next to our papaw (she’s very protective of our papaw) he said she would more than likely attack my son so he wants her to go to a good home so she can have fun instead of being in a kennel all the time (that’s how it is now since she keeps attacking people) anyway back to my dog...she is constantly getting in the trash and I am still trying to finish my schooling. I don’t have time to pick up after my family, my son, and my dog too. I won’t have time to play with her like I can now (which isn’t really a lot recently cause if I get on the floor it’s a struggle to get back up) I don’t want her to get pushed back and not be able to be her fun happy playful self because of my son, but I won’t have enough time in the day to constantly take care of her and my son at the same time. I feel horrible, but I really think I need to give her to a good home that can give her better care than I can. My family hates her so they have been nagging me about getting rid of her for about oh 12 years..I have always said no because she’s family, but now I’m seeing actual reasons as to why I can’t keep her anymore. I love her to death and I couldn’t imagine being saved by someone then given up just because a baby cane into the picture. I feel horrible and don’t know what to do.
