Dog trouble

I have an 8 year old American Akita that’s just used to living with me and my husband. She is a good dog but can be very protective! And I’m worried with the baby coming what way things will go and I was wondering how everyone else has coped with a new baby and their dog’s. she sleeps in the house so we will still have her sleep in Thor house because we can’t ignore her just because there’s a baby.
