Hi. This is my first time posting. My husband is diagnosed w/ depression and as my subject line implies - I'm 22 weeks pregnant. We are both excited about the baby and our levels of excitement differ. My concern is the future and how his bouts of depression and irritability will either be exasperated or lessened when the baby comes. I want our baby's world to be filled with happiness - not irritability. I want it to surrounded by smiles and lately (due to stresses at work) my husband rarely smiles at me, I can't imagine what life would be like with a baby in the house.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Am I in the wrong to have these thoughts? I know that when the baby arrives, he will love it with all his heart. I've seen him with other our nieces and nephews, but I'm just worried.
