You do not sound "too young", OP. Some posters are ridiculous (and yes, some are jealous). I married at 23 and had my first at 25, while in grad school, and some people looked at me as if I was a teen mother!

Your husband is probably not sure he's ready for a baby, and grasping at straws. You need to discuss this baby thing with him, because it will not be good for your marriage to be tied down to a man who did not want a child in the first place.

Also look at your dog's behavior - does something need to change that would reassure your husband? No jumping on people ever, no going on the couch/bed/elevated position, no barking like crazy, no pulling on the leash - because these are all signs of an Alpha dog. An alpha dog is one who thinks it owns its humans, and is therefore more prone to acting aggressively/possessively towards babies. Your dog needs to understand that all humans, including Baby, come first. As long as it knows where it stands in the pecking order (ie, last), it will be reassured and happy.

A little give and take is what's needed here.
