To be pissed off at dp?

So for a bit of context, I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a stinking head cold and have a toddler who's just recovering from croup.
Last night I asked if DP could do bedtime so I could rest which he was fine with. He then went out to meet a friend for a drink at our village pub.
I went downstairs to get a glass of water and the house was an absolute tip. Food left out everywhere, every toy was out. Fine. Was expecting him to come back and do the basics of the cleaning but he decided to stay up until 2am to get it tidy as today we had planned to put our Christmas decs up.
I got up with DS this morning at 6:30am so DP could have a lie in. Feeling rough as anything and still dealing with sickness but you get it done anyway. Now it got to 11am and DP still wasn't awake so we decided to go and wake him up. I took him a nice coffee. He completely snapped at me and said he'd been up all night cleaning and that I don't appreciate him. I said thank you and of course I appreciate it but he knew we had plans today to put up our decs and I didn't ask him to stay up that late knowing we had plans today. DS is so bored and desperate to start. DP is saying we have all afternoon. We don't as he knows we have a few different things planned. AIBU???

I mean he's goes out quite a lot but does give me a break when I need it. I find it really hard to tell if I'm being irrational with these pregnancy hormones. You're right, I guess I was just really excited this morning and expected him to wake up feeling the same!

I think you are being a bit unreasonable unless is a constant pattern of behaviour? As a one off I wouldn’t be that fussed. He had an evening out and tidied when he got home. There’s still plenty of time to get the decorations up at some point and no reason to sit around bored waiting just get on with other things.

I just feel pissed off as there was no reason for him to stay up that late and now he's blaming me as if I made him do it. I wanted to have a really nice Christmassy day and now I feel like it's had a dampener put on it.
