Cute my step son is the same way, he started acting out tho because he's not going to be the only child at our house now so he's been rebelling to make sure we haven't forgotten him, when the baby comes I'm going to try and have him be my little assistant that way he can interact with the baby and not feel left out and he can bond with the concept of being a big brother he's 9 so he will be able to understand what's going on and realize babies need 100% attention I had to explain to Corbin that he can shower and go to the bathroom and feed himself all on his own and that the reason were giving the baby all the attention is because he can't do any of that without us and he's going to need his brother to help him learn how to do all that so now he feels needed which really has helped him a lot

This is my second pregnancy also and my son is a mommas boy. I try to make feel like he is going to be the best big brother in the world and i let be apart of the whole pregnancy like going to the u/s he wanted a brother but a sister will have to do. And i take him around other babies so he can interact with another baby around me.

Just make him comfortable. Spend as much time with him as you can. Try to include him in things that has to do with the baby to get him excited about it. He's going to be jealous,but i dont think he'll think you love him any less. This is my second child too and my daughter(4)isn't exactly excited about having a brother, but we try to reassure her everyday so that she won't feel as if we love our unborn more, so far its working.
