overreacting?

Ok so I'm having a planned section on July 30th due to complications/previous section and my husband just informed me  that he is traveling for work from the 14-20th of July so pretty much all the baby prep that we have left is on me with our daughter in toe... Also him travelling that week means he will miss me finishing college... I'm somewhere between heart broken and furious and I'm just wondering if I'm overreacting due to hormones or if you ladies would be hurt/ mad too... Also with our first he requested a no travel status for himself for my entire last month of pregnancy and now I get 10 days? Am I wrong? I don't want to get mad if its just my hormones!

Thanks ladies... I've calmed down just reading that I'm not completely off base with it... He could get out of it if he really pushed to but he just got a promotion in Oct and this is a huge deal that he is heading up this entire project not to mention his employers have been beyond amazing to us as I've had three surgeries between Nov. 2012 and Oct 2013 and they let him stay home for 4-6 weeks each time without effecting his vaca time... I think I just needed you guys to tell me to cool down cuz now I know I'll still be overwhelmed but its not his fault.. Thanks a million ladies :-)

I say at least he will be there for the delivery

I dont think you should be mad but I understand where it would be hard not to be. Maybe you both can do the baby prep before he goes and then the last minute stuff after he comes back. Its never easy to have them gone while pregnant but sometimes we cant control work. I would plan on the week his is gone to try just relaxing. It will be even harder with your daughter there. I know sometimes its easier for me to put things off until my husbands days off just so he can help with my 4 year old son. We work opposite shifts so I have our son 24/7 and he only really gets to see him 2 days a week. Rest of the time is all momma. I would be upset. I wont lie but then I know sometimes work has to come first. Sad thing is its always seems to happen at the most inopportune time. Good luck to you.

Did he have a choice? I get your side.... but I think our hormones influence a lot. If he could get out of it and not hurt his job, then that definitely is no fun. But if it is a way to make his living then you don't have to like it but try to see his side. My hubby is gone right now. I'm 18 weeks plus haves 3 and 1 yr old. I still get sick so it's rough, but I try not to make him feel bad cuz it a great job opportunity for him to make a name for himself in his work.  Obviously I would feel way more emotional if I was days away from delivery. (Congrats on your college btw). Try talking to him without sounding upset and just feel it out and see if he could reschedule? It would be better to be gone before then right after though! :-)
