I'm Disappointed and Slightly Upset
DH called tonight and said his Chicago trip got pushed out to possibly the second week of August and he'll know for sure tomorrow. I said great that works for me. Then I looked at my calendar and remembered the big u/s is that Friday. I called DH back and told him I wouldn't be able to go because of the u/s and he needed to make sure he left Chicago by Thursday night/Friday morning so he could come home in time to be at the u/s. I know it's pregnancy hormones, but I just really feel like crying. I was really looking forward to this trip and the idea of DH possibly missing the u/s is really upsetting. I guess DH's attitude of "Oh well, I guess you can't go" is also bothering me.
DH suggested I try to move the u/s appointment, but as it is, it HAS to be on a Friday in order for him to leave San Francisco and make it for the appt. A mid-week appointment won't work at all. We already spent 10 minutes with the nurse trying to book this appt to work with DH's schedule, so I don't even know if we will be able to change it. I have a dr. appt on Friday, so I'll see if it's possible to change it to another date (maybe earlier!?!)
I'm also irritated by my cousin right now too. We made plans a few weeks ago for me to come over to her house (she lives about an hour away) and go swimming tomorrow. She asked me to see if our other cousin could make it over for dinner after work. Cousin B can't come over and Cousin A asked if I wanted to reschedule our pool date since Cousin B can't come. WTF? I thought we planned this without her. I didn't realize it was a package deal. I'm thinking about just cancelling because I'm so irritated. I think I just need to go to sleep, since I'm clearly in a p!ssy mood tonight. Thanks for letting me vent! As usual!
Re: I'm Disappointed and Slightly Upset
Oh, that's crappy that his trip got moved and you can't go. Has he made his travel plans yet, and do you know if he'll make it back for the u/s?
Not that it justifies anything, but maybe he doesn't understand how important the u/s is... I think he will once he goes and sees the baby. But maybe it's harder for the guys to understand because they don't actually feel the baby growing inside of them... So maybe right now he doesn't understand what a big deal that is. (Does he go to all of your appointments? I don't know what's normal.) Can you talk to him about it and tell him that it's really important to you that he be there?
I'm sorry you won't be able to go to Chicago, unless you reschedule your appointment. It's always fun to travel, and really convenient when you can tack it onto a spouse's work travel to save some $.
I'd be irritated if my cousin did that to me...
