Having a bad day, T&P please?

First, DH is in Dubai for the next 3 months for work. I took him to the airport on Saturday around 4pm and talked to him 7:30 at his layover in Atlanta before taking off from Dubai. I haven't heard from him since. It is currently 8pm there Monday night (8 hours ahead from here). Maybe his phone isn't working- but he could at least borrow one or a computer and send me a message that his plane landed okay! I am trying not to worry, but I am starting to be pretty worried. He doesn't come back until 1/24. Today is also our 1st wedding anniversary.
I had a follow-up u/s this morning b/c they couldn't see everything at the anatomy u/s. They said that baby has a one artery umbilical cord and a small hole in his heart. I have to go for a fetal echo next week. They also recommended an amnio to check for genetic defects (baby also is growing on the low end of the spectrum)- but it could send me into labor- so I said no.
I just want baby to be healthy and okay and grow and stay in there until Feb! It has been one thing wrong after another so far. At 7 wks u/s they told me that the baby might have died (I was just earlier), then I found out I had a fibroid, now this. I know it could be a lot worse, but I am just sad.

M/C October 25th 2010. Its been almost 6 years since I said goodbye
Sorry to hear that things are so stressful. I'll be sending warm wishes your way that your baby grows in more stress free way for you going forward. 1/24 will be here before you know it. Just rely on us bumpies if you need some support!
Can you check the status of his flight online? That might give you a little bit of peace of mind.
Having flown through Dubai this February, I can say first-hand that it take a LONG time to get off of the plane, through the airport, customs, etc. Also, I never recall seeing any public computers in the airport, so he may just not have access to a computer yet.
Sending T&Ps your way. Hopefully you'll hear from him soon, and that the 3 months goes by as quickly ask possible!
T&P are with you, i cant imagine going thru that doctor appointment, let alone with out DH.
On a brighter note- Happy Anniversary, i am sure you will hear from DH soon
Thanks ladies! I just heard from DH- whew! Only got to talk for a few minutes because he was using someone else's phone, but at least I know he is safe. His phone isn't working there yet (needs a different sim card because someone owns a monopoly on phones there) and he won't have internet on his laptop until tomorrow or the next day.
I will try not to stress. It will be a long 3 months! We don't have any family here and I mostly only have one close friend I talk to here. Plus, my boss is being a jerk. Can't wait for maternity leave- but it better not be until February!
I'm sorry that you are now dealing with these issues on your own. I know your H being here wouldn't "change" what they've found but at least he'd be here with you. If he's gone for work, maybe he had to hit the ground running and has been busy every since he got there. I'm sure he'll find time to call.
I've had moments where I feel sorry for myself for not feeling good, or having so much morning sickness, being tired constantly, lots of RLP, and now GD. Then I start thinking about all the moms on here who have found out that there's something really wrong with their baby (like Greensleaves and the positive diagnonsis of Downs). I kind of feel silly for being upset over my aches, pains, and ailments. But then I have to stop and think, yes, things could be a lot worse, and I'm very thankful that they're not...but I'm still having to go through things that aren't my "every day" things. Don't feel bad for being upset about your situation. Each one of us has every right to be upset over whatever the ailment of the moment may be, and you are right, I'm sure things could be a lot worse, but the fact is that you're dealing with what you're dealing with and it's not fun.
Sending lots of T & P your way...for LO and H, that everything turns out to be ok with both and that you can "enjoy" the rest of your pregnancy and the anticipation of H coming home!
