Long story, need opinion

So my birthday is Wed and DH has been working a ton lately days and then nights on house projects. He had been super stressed. The last two weekends he helped his parents move his gram's stuff out of her apt and put stuff in our garage for a yard sale. Then last night he said he told his brother he would help him move today.

Eh so I got pissy and he said I want to so I am going to help. I said I wasn't going to fight (we were out). This morning I explained that he hadn't mentioned my bday at all and that I assumed it was because he was so stressed about work and house projects. I said I knew I was being bratty but I could accept when it was for his mom who just lost her mom, or for baby (building me a rocking chair) or even work because we need the money... But now I just feel like last place. His brother has a tiny apt and like four people helping. DH does not need to help.

So then he felt really badly and made plans for us to go down to Newport tonight and stay over and do stuff tomorrow. But we have a dog and I have school work and housework. I can't just drop everything?! Plus I feel crappy.

Do I go? It will be fun and it is what I wanted to do for my birthday just not last minute. Don't go? I basically guilted him into it and that is no fun. Plus we both are going to be thinking about I the dog is okay and about all the stuff we have to do. But I will hurt his feelings if I said no - he was so excited to be making it up to me.
And now I am crying. Stupid pregnancy hormones! Eh!

And if you read all that - you rock. Would you go? If not, how would you tell DH no?

    I agree with vreker - despite how you got there - it sounds like a little down time and alone time is in order. I'd go.

    I am all too familiar with this feeling. I would go, try to forget that it was last minute, and the stuff you have to do. Can you take the pup? Or leave him/her with someone you trust. I know it's hard, with all the hormones, to forget it, but try and then you can look back and remember it as a nice time/birthday. Let us know what you do, and I hope you end up having a great weekend! Happy Birthday!

    I say go. I understand the stress of last minute things, but I think it'll be good for the two of you and your relationship.

    Okay okay! You have all convinced me. I was so sure I was not going too! Guess I better get to work on my to so list before we leave.
    Some alone time with DH would be nice. I just feel blah today so I needed your perspectives to push me there.

    Go!
    Find someone to stop in and take care of your pup and get away for a bit.

    Have fun! I wish I was going...

    Go and have fun. The dog will be fine - you're not going for a long time. Worst that can happen - dog poop. Better that can happen- much needed bonding time for the two of you. Enjoy.

    Glad you decided to go. Have fun and try not to stress about this other stuff.

    Also, 100% what @Raesofsunshine1‌ said. While you may not always want to have sex, you'll be glad you did.

    I would go. It is probably really important to DH to make it up to you in a special way, and it will be lots of fun. :)

    If I were you, I'd take advantage of every trip and relaxation time that you can because it won't be so easy once baby comes... or even in the 3rd trimester.
