And when the hubbs likes to stay home with our son so I can do errands, I love it - but like you, I also miss them! *sigh* <br /><br />Luckily, I've had the opportunity to hang out with friends now and again, since my dad lives in the same city, and my husband doesn't mind my going to the movies with girlfriends once our baby is asleep.
