3 little birds

Hi-I need some quick advice about hitting/ aggressive behavior.
My ds is 3. He recently became a big brother and we moved and he started Montessori preschool. During my pregnancy he started to hit me and his older (but very tiny and completely non-aggressive twin sisters-they were 5 at the time). He was also weaning, slowly encouraged by me. I understand that he has been through some serious changes in the past year. I am worried though about his aggressive behavior. He tends to hit if his is angry or frustrated.
Recently at a school function he pushed his sister down for no apparent reason. She hit the ground really hard, but I went straight to him and told him no, that we don't push and why did he push. I realize that I should have gone to my dd and made sure she was okay. Later, I realized that my dh was holding the baby and ds tends to get aggressive when dh isn't attentive to him.
I don't know how to react anymore to his aggressiveness. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
