Who's at fault? Am I just selfish?

Ok here's the deal.. This is kind of long but I need to explain all of it so that there is no information being left out.. My problem is, for the last 2 months my plan was that I was going to change careers out of logistics (warehouse) to driving a truck. My wife was ok with it and in fact it was even her idea a while back. She is currently in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy so the career change won't happen until February (at the earliest). As of the last week or so she has completely changed her mind and now doesn't want me to do it. Even though it was her idea a while back, I actually have always had a passion of being a truck driver so I've been really excited that I can actually do what I've dreamed of doing. I've been preparing and studying for the last two months for the cdl test and everything.

All of a sudden as stated, the last week or two, she has been completely opposed to the idea and keeps blaming me that I want to get away from her and the kids by doing this.. she says the only reason I'm wanting to drive truck is to get away which is completely UNTRUE. In fact, if I could find a dedicated locally I would do that but I can't as I would be completely NEW and that doesn't happen out of the gate. The plan actually would be to be OTR to get experience and then go dedicated/regional afterward.

Is she just being moody and hormonal? Am I being selfish for wanting to pursue this career? Should I give up and just stay in logistics and unhappy for her sake? If I should fight this, should I just wait until the baby is born and bring it up afterward? How can I explain my passion to her w/o her assuming I'm just trying to get away? Any help would be appreciated.. I am already doomed but if anyone else has been there and been through this or if any females out there read this what is your take? Thanks!

 

Thanks so far for the comments (keep em coming) I actually was going to wait until after the baby was born anyway because yes I agree, that is something that is important and shouldn't be missed! As for the baby being the first, No, We have other children together. Keep in mine me and her have been married for 6 years and been together for 8 so this isn't new for us however the career change is new for us. I believe at least waiting for the pregnancy to be over to discuss it further with her is best so far.

 

Oh yeah and no I don't have the CDL yet but I do like the idea of maybe doing it on weekends to "slow" the process down a little.. maybe it won't feel so rushed for her
