Ex having another baby

It's been a while since I posted a relationship type post but hopefully someone can offer me some reassurance.

Me and my DS's (6yo) dad split up a few years ago, he met another partner a year ago who has an older child. Ds is happy with everything at the moment and he seems to be doing well.
His dad has now announced him and partner are having a baby and he's moving to the woman's city to live together. I work every weekend and ex works away through the week so ex has ds every weekend and during holidays I have him. It's not ideal but working weekends pays me more and my rent is so high I don't have much choice. I'm feeling like I'm going to lose my ds to their family, will he be bored with me? Miss the other children? Ex has both of our cats which I've always hated too but my renting situation means I can't have them.

It's made me feel so alone and like I've failed ds by not having a serious relationship and building a future with someone else. I hope it's easier once things settle down

Of course he will be fine! You're his Mum and at 6 they're so adaptable anyway.
