Cat and a toddler and a new baby on the way

Question
Ever since our Mononke ripped the screen out of our window and moved in she's been the best cat. And she is ever so patient with our two and half daughter. I was wondering if you could help me with ideas on how to make sure she still feels loved when the new baby comes. We won't have as much time and I don't want her to feel left out or rejected. Thanks a bunch.
