Aww - new babies and dogs are pretty amazing healing tools. I am very excited for you.
The house thing is tough, give him a chance to explain it to you, though. He may be trying to help you stay financially afloat after this and keep you from making emotional decisions that could hurt you later. You may have to pay out quite a bit to make that happen - what if selling it is the only way to prove you are underwater and that she isn't owed equity? It sounds like you have right outlook about it all. Make sure to factor moving, closing, new house closing/agent costs, etc when you figure out your cost to stay there vs move out.
I'm so glad extended family helped clarify how your wife's behavior towards mom was inappropriate. That's good.
Totally jealous of the archery and other fun things you are doing! (I love my kids, but they are a bit young for a lot of the things I enjoy doing)
Try to work on your temper - she will probably test it again and again in the coming months. I'm glad you stuck up for yourself. Think of it this way - she probably held her anger over petty things in for years and now just feels justified in spewing it all out, all over you.
