Dad to be final tantrum???

My hubby has been great the entire time, but has also had some outbursts... Everything is almost ready... Simple things need to get done that I'm too short or too pregnant to do myself.. Hang pictures in babies room, find place for his table saw and wood table that are currently in my dining and living room... Neighbor gave him 100 dvds last weekend, they're taking up the entire dining table... That's it, all that needs to be done and yet instead he got up early, made banana bread and went to go to his dad's to work on a shelf he's building that we don't need... He knows many will be here any day and has been rude and short tempered.... Please tell me this is nerves??? I just want the house clean and ready before baby is here and he's doing nothing.

My husband always get a little off rocker when we go long time between sex, this has always been the case...obviously right now I let it drag as long as possible, but eventually give in as I know he needs it. But, that side he's been okay. This is our third, but every baby causes friction between a couple, that's why it's best to have a strong bond before having children. People often think having a baby brings people together, but must of the times babies break people up. See, before the little ones come, ur man have you all to himself. You think about him, you take care of him and you need him for that love and affection must women crave...But when baby comes, he often is reduced to second place, mainly because a good mom falls in love with her baby so much that all she thinks about is baby, all she cares for us baby, and that love and affection is now fulfilled by baby...and men, including mines have a hard time dealing with that. It's a another thing us women have to do, but you have to remember to do things to show ur men they are still your number one baby, regardless if you now have a real baby to care for. Not saying neglect your baby, but don't neglect your first love...because it can go bad real quick.

Mine gets better then worse... Starts bring sweet but won't acknowledge me when I'm trying to talk to him?! Grrr, glad it's just not me if anything women on here have taught me it could be a lot worse but when it's not how he normally is, it's very frustrating.

My husband has been short tempered and complaining too. I hope he is just nervous. He doesn't want to talk about it much and passes it off as a cultural difference seeing as he is from Morocco and I'm American.
