Child’s dad being awkward

I need some advice on whether people think I am over reacting or not please!

it’s been approx 5 years since I separated from dd dad, and last week he has had another child to someone he has been on and off in quite a volatile relationship with (lots of arguing etc) dd has always had a good relationship with her dad and stayed over twice a week at his house, however since him and his gf have been expecting he’s moved into her 1 bed flat and obviously no longer has a bedroom for dd (whos 8) over the last few weeks she’s been sleeping in a double bed with his gf ( still not practical in my eyes as she was 8 months pregnant but I kept quiet) However I made it clear I didn’t want her staying in the same room as the baby as she needs a decent nights sleep etc. my ex said not to worry once the baby comes we will stay over at my mums on the nights she stays, since then my ex has bought a camp bed which lastnight dd stayed on in her dads/gfs living room, didn’t go to bed until 11pm as that’s when everyone else went to bed and has been extremely grouchy today. Her dad has also dropped it on me last week that he can’t get her from school anymore on the 2 nights a week he has been. He said he would pick her up for a couple of hours when he finished work at 5.30/6 but she is normally in bed for 8 and needs a bath/do homework etc before so again this isn’t practical.

Im not saying he can’t have contact however it feels like now his baby has come along my dd isn’t a priority. Am I unreasonable saying he can only see her on a weekend through the day?
