AIBU? Husband busy with evening hobbies

My husband and I are expecting our first in less than 2 weeks. I have a really demanding job that usually has me travelling Mon-Thurs, and so my husband to keep busy has a cycling group he goes out with 2-3 nights per week and a public speaking group on another night. I'm on mat leave now, home alone. My husband leaves for work at 7am but because of his evening activities doesn't get home until 10pm. We still have various tasks to complete around the house before baby arrives, and I would like us to spend some time together as a couple as well. Weekends are always super busy with family, friend and church commitments. I would like him to cut back on cycling to 1-2 days per week and press pause on public speaking for a while. He wants to keep up with these activities full time until the baby comes. Am I being unreasonable?

Cycling 2-3 nights a week does sound like a lot . . . I don't think YABU to ask him to cut down a little. Maybe cycling once or twice a week if he carries on with the public speaking night, then he's still keeping in touch with both groups?

No, what does he plan on doing when you go into labor??

I'd say 2 nights a week to do your own hobbies and 2 nights to do baby stuff/date night seems fair out of Mon-Thurs.
