I can't see how keeping all the animals is going to work.  The baby will take all of your time for a while, and 4 dogs is a lot.

If you plan on keeping all the pets put a special blanket in with the baby at the hospital. Have someone take the blanket home before you and baby leave the hospital. This way the animals can get used to the baby's scent before he/she comes home.
