I am very understanding of your impulse to get to a safer place. It is unfortunate that your husband isn't understanding that you are a new mother of a 3 month old, and you do not need the anxiety at this point in motherhood, but some men just don't "get it".

My advice to you would be to explain to him that your anxiety level just isn't good for the new baby, and while he is "probably right" (that you are being "silly"), that you think it best for the baby that you do all you can to feel calm. Tell him that it is just new mother hormones, or something.

Then pack up your baby and leave, with a big hug and kiss to him for being "understanding" of your emotions, never having beeen through something like this, etc...

Look at it this way... it is more important for your baby for you to feel comfortable for the next few days, then for you to be sitting there and worrying your head off. If nothing happens to your present location, your bugging out doesn't matter. If soemthing does happen, and you didn't bug out, it would be a big marital "issue" for the future...

It is always good to try to avoid those "I told you so" discussions when you are the one making them. It is much better to let hubbie be the one saying it to you... (womanly wiles at work)
