How to get siblings to accept a new baby?

This is my fiance and my first baby together he already has four kids and three of them are so excited about having a little brother and the oldest isn't happy at all. But she loves babies and taking care of her baby nephew and niece so I don't understand why she's taking this so hard? It's making our engagement very rough and I don't want her to feel like she's being replaced. I just don't know what to do.

She may be feeling left out, include her in things for the Baby. Take her with you to buy clothes, bedding, blankets etc, let her pick them out and constantly remind her what a good sister she is and will be. :)
