hubbies on board with pregnancy?

My husband was absolutly thrilled when he found out we were pregnant with number 3.  I think more than me!  lol  But anyway being though this before I remember the tiredness and hunger and it all came back again for number three.  I am 7 weeks now and am on extra progesterone as a precaution due to a past mc.  So that is making all my symptoms that much greater.  I am just not loving being in my body right now.  I know it will pass but I am just sooo drained all the time.  
So hubby is pissed b/c I am "not happy about anything" blah blah blah.  I really dont want to be social right now and am just trying to get through the day with 2 kids.  Its summer so I have my 6 yr. old home everyday too.  I am beat!!!!
Just wondering if anyone out there is having issue with hubby not being so understanding and how you cope.  With this hormones raging he should really sleep with one eye open.  :)

Yes, it's frustrating.  He seems better over the past couple days after our blowout the other day but I am sure it will come and go.  I hate my body going through this but of course the outcome is worth it so you deal.  Just need the support.  Usually he is good but at times does not want to deal.
thanks for everyone's support

This is the first baby for both of us.  My partner is having trouble understanding that it's not that I'm unhappy with life, it's just that I'm miserable with morning sickness, mood swings, and whatever else happens to come my way day to day.  I love that I'm having our baby, it's just feels like I'm dying!  LOL  I cry over stupid things, like something I saw on tv or a card I read, when I've never done that before.  I also can't take being teased anymore, when before it was funny.  He gets upset with me now when I take things the wrong way.  We even fought today because of his teasing.  I don't want to react that way, but I am.  I asked him to name a time ever in our lives together that I ever behaved this way and he couldn't.  I said: point made!  These hormones are making me weird and Michael can't or won't understand.

My DH wasn't exactly thrilled at first, but I was.  Now he is totally happy and excited (It took like a day for it to sink in and everything - he was more worried than upset).  Every night he tells the baby good night and kisses my tummy.  I have made a few name suggestions but he is supersticious about that and only said if he liked or didn't like a name.

My hubby is def on board - this is not our first preg but will be first baby - hopefully since the last 2 ended in MC. I am soooo EMOTIONAL this time. I am not able to find excitement in my heart yet and hubby expresses that he knows this will be the "one" and I am still skeptical. Its a horrible feeling but I dont want to be hurt like last time so I would not say Im a wreck by any means - but I am sensitive to talking about it and don;t wanna get excited just yet. I think this is making him kinda sad since the last preg I was sooo excited, happy, making long term plans, thinking of names, starting to make lists ect. and this time I am no where near that person anymore. The last baby also caused me to be quite giddy...like I would laugh histarically at the dumbest stuff and this time I cry - so who knows - but my hubby is def excited and he is very supportive of my feelings and knows that I will come around.
