I think you are right on in maintaining a special and seperate relationship with your husband. I've heard that a lot of times the husband feels "replaced" by the baby. My husband and I haven't had the luxury of spending much time alone just yet as we're not in the same town as family and haven't been able to find a reliable babysitter as of yet. But we do make sure to go places with our son as often as possible, out to dinner, whatever. And of course we have some nice quiet adult time once our son is in bed for the night.
