Am I overreacting? My(26f) husband (26m) neglected my birthday and our anniversary. I feel so under appreciated.

We’ve been together 7 years, married 2. Today was our second wedding anniversary. 2 days ago was my birthday. I get that he had a bad day at work today, and I wasn’t expecting much from either occasion, but he didn’t get me a card or a gift for either. Hell at this point I would have settled for a card for both! I’m not asking for much here. Just an acknowledgement. On my birthday I did at least get a text message. Today, I got nothing except snapped at as soon as he got home. I’d been working all day on his favorite meal, and it wasn’t ready when he got home. I put a lot of thought and effort into his anniversary gift, and he didn’t even open it. He ate dinner when it was ready, commented on how terrible of a wife I am, and went to bed. I’m sitting on our couch crying. I spent so long cooking and cleaning today, put a lot of thought into his anniversary gift which is a custom item and can’t be returned, and he didn’t even text me happy anniversary. I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t appreciate me, constantly criticizing everything I do. I’m pregnant with our first child, working full time and am getting a masters degree. I do my best to keep the house clean and cook dinner for us every night. He complains about the house but since I make more than he does, when I say I’m happy to quit my job and that way I’ll keep the house clean and watch our son, who will be here in a couple months, he complains that we won’t be able to pay the bills that way. So I say he can quit and I’ll pick up a few extra hours a week. If I work 10 hour shifts instead of 8 the bills would be covered and he can take care of the house and our son. He doesn’t like that suggestion either. Instead he just complains about everything I do, tells me I’m a terrible wife, but even when I’m doing everything he wants done, he still finds things to complain about. He’s never happy, not in our marriage, not with his job, not anywhere. I don’t complain when he has to buy every video game he can, or takes his brothers and mom out to lunch multiple times a week. I’m exhausted, and all I wanted was a simple acknowledgement and maybe a hug for my birthday and our anniversary. I can’t help but feel sad that I’m bringing a child into the world with a husband who suddenly doesn’t care about me or my feelings.

TL;DR my husband didn’t do anything for my birthday or our anniversary. He constantly Is unhappy, and makes sure I know it.
