new son and returning to school

so I am going back to school the end of this month, my last baby just took his first steps And I missed them because I was taking a stupid placement test at the university, I have also missed his first tooth, his first scoot, and crawl, this makes me so sad, He is nine years younger than my other kids and more than likely my last (biological) baby, I almost want to put off going back to school but if i do then our future would be uncertain. DH hasn't been all that supportive saying things like your going to miss this or that, then he walks and I don't get to see it and DH rubs it in. he was injured and cant work so I will be the bread earner in our home when this is all done, which I don't mind, after all he did support us well before his accident. I am just feeling so terrible about missing all of his firsts. I was the one there for all my other kids and am having a rough time letting him be the one to take over, What should I do?

(no rude comments please)

    Going back to school will benifit you so much in the end. I am in college with a almost 8 month old. Try to take as many classes online as you can (almost every school/community college offers these). Also my husband works 60+ hours a day, he has missed all of that however I have managed to get her first laugh, crawl, and first time sitting up on video. Ask your husband to video tape her here and there since you never know when events like that will happen.

    Not really sure what your question is, but you need to do whats best to better your future if your livelyhood depends on it. And if your with a man who doesnt respect your feelings than that may be even more incentive to forge ahead and make sure that you can support you and your children in the event that his behavior continues to be hurtful. Sorry you have to miss your babies firsts, just try and give him love and enjoy the times you see them for the first time, it is afterall a first if you see it for the first time, right?
