Do I have a right to be upset that my husband isn’t doing anything for Mother’s Day?

Relationship

My husband and I have an almost 3 year old daughter and a baby girl on the way. He’s on a weird schedule and he caught some crud from work and in no way am I dismissing that he doesn’t feel good but he said he had a pounding headache today. He had said he had the chills and felt achey but from what it looks like after taking DayQuil (I could be completely wrong) he seems to be feeling okay enough because he’s moving around, making food, and playing his video games on the couch and even with the AC on he’s acting like nothing is wrong. He was up bright and early at 7am and didn’t have a fever. The other part that would make sense is that we aren’t in a financial position to be getting me a gift or to be taking me somewhere but I don’t even expect a lot. He told me happy Mother’s Day this morning, but I would’ve thought he’d go get me flowers or even a card or something, maybe give me some alone time, take our toddler out, but we’re sitting on the couch doing nothing. He told me to go to his family’s Mother’s Day dinner tonight in his Grandma’s backyard (the only one I know there is his mom and I’m not even sure if she can make it). He said he wouldn’t go if he didn’t feel good. He’s not even interacting with me. I feel crappy with this pregnancy as it is, I’m having the worst symptoms, I’m the one doing the cleaning for the past two days, and all he’s been doing is playing his game. I understand being sick, but I would have pushed through it for him. I don’t know, maybe he feels worse than he’s putting off but I just feel very lonely and I would have liked to feel appreciated today. Am I being inconsiderate? Dramatic? I’m just over today.
