We had our hospital tour last night and it was a disaster. H was in a really bad mood and had absolutely no patience for DD. We were only 10 minutes into the tour when he decided that she wasn't behaving well-enough and he dragged her out of there kicking and screaming, leaving me to do the rest by myself. From my perspective she was acting like a pretty average toddler, not bad, but not super obedient. I think he definitely overreacted. He was apparently texting me to tell me where they went, but they weren't coming through to my phone. He got pissed because he thought I was ignoring him. Well don't fucking walk out if you need my attention so damn bad.
The tour lasted almost an hour and a half. It was thorough, but geezzzzzzz. Keeping a bunch of very pregnant ladies on their feet that long is just ridiculous. I'm also not very impressed by the hospital. It's a good hospital. One of the top NICUs in the state and really highly rated physicians, but the place is kind of a dump. The labor and delivery rooms are very old and small. They need updated a lot. The rooms for recovery are much nicer, but still nothing to write home about. I just wasn't very impressed. I can't deliver at any other hospital for insurance reasons, so this is it. I cried the whole way home. Oh well. It's just a few days; not much in the scheme of things.
Now I'm super sore from all the walking and still irritated with H. Can this all just be over with already?

Thanks @jennylee and @daubachsgirl23. H was in a sour mood from the moment he walked in the door. I think he was over-tired and just overall cranky. He wasn't super excited about the hospital tour either. He doesn't understand why I even wanted to bother with the tour because we've had a baby before and it's not like seeing it first changes anything. He's right, I suppose, but I've never delivered at that particular hospital and wanted to get a feel for their procedures.
Also, DD was getting on his nerves from the time we got home. He just wanted to relax and she was climbing all over him and wouldn't get out of his face. I get that he just wants to relax after being at work all day, but she wants his attention too. If he'd just give her 10-15 minutes of undivided attention when he gets home, then she'd probably settle down a bit and let him relax. Of course, I have to have his back in front of DD, but sometimes I wish I could put them both in timeout. At any rate, it's not like this every night or anything, but last night was definitely one of them. I sensed that it wasn't going to go well before we even left the house, so I should've just went by myself.
H apologized for leaving when he saw how upset I was. He wasn't super impressed with what he saw at the hospital either, but assured me everything will be fine.

We took a two night labor/delivery class when I was pregnant with DD. The packet of info we received was useful enough, but really wasn't anything we couldn't have found online. Our hospital here offers a whole bunch of free classes, but I figure what's the point. I'll likely have another c-section and there's really no class for that.
