Emotions or do I have a reason to be upset

Catharine

So far things have been going pretty well I’m 34+5 weeks along however I have been dealing with some scary blood pressure numbers lately. I have been needing to go to drs 2 times a week now (both ob and specialist) and earlier this week I needed to go to L&D to get a steroid shot in case baby needs to come early. She’s a strong baby girl I’m in good hands. All that while trying to wrap things up with work to get in a good place to leave and get the house ready for baby.

I lost it today on my husband who for lack of better words has been not so helpful with things. He’s gone to only 1st dr appt - he has serious phobias of drs so I don’t pressure him to go. He hasn’t read up on any baby materials and had the nerve to tell me I have a “shopping addiction” because I’m scrambling trying to get things ready for the baby, had a baby shower recently, and all these packages are arriving at our door. All he has done has put together crib and changing table I was left to do the rest. He has this mentality that “we’ll figure it out as we go” and I just want to be as prepared as possible. Thank god I have an awesome mother who helped me organize the nursery and helped me with laundry I don’t know what I’d do. I’m at my whits end and broke down today. Does anyone have experience with trying to wake up your husbands that a baby is coming in 4 weeks or less?! That we do need all this shit for this 7lb pooping, crying, little human that’ll turn our worlds upside down?! I am not trying to change him but I need more my mental state is not healthy for me or the baby right now.
