I don't know your personal situation Trish, but i definately don't think your doing the wrong thing by sticking up for your child! I think deep down you really wanted this baby... and I think maybe he really is just shocked, and once he gets his head around it - he'll join all the fun of the new bub! Fingers crossed Trish... you sound like your a fantastic mum (i mean look at the smile on that little girls face!) - that little bun in the oven doesn't know how lucky it is yet to have a mummy like you.
