Parties with friends and sleeping through the night. We're the first of all of our friends to have a baby (crazy since we're in our 30s). Although our friends have come to see our baby and hang out, we're just making the cut anymore for dinner party invites. Once I have more energy I'll try to coordinate my own dinner party..........right now I get exhausted thinking about entertaining!
I honestly don't remember. DS is going on 4 so it's been awhile since we've been without kids at all. We still went out to the bar and did fun things, just not in the early stages. Once DS was a bit older we had nights out and things like that. We can still do much of what we did before we had kids. It DOES get easier as they get older.
Going out with friends. It is definitely harder to do now-have to coordinate a babysitter, pump and dump, then get up in the middle of the night and be exhausted and slightly hung over in the morning. I have only done it once since DS was born-definitely not fun!

Being able to go to bed without it being a huge production (having to bring my pump, enough bottles, LO, spare nursing bras/tanks for when I inevitably wake up soaked in milk, etc.). Also being able to go anywhere without worrying that I'll be gone too long and will leak through my shirts.
Just being able to head out the door quickly...run to the store, out to eat etc. It's a great production to go anywhere now. I miss our old sex life too. :-(

Sleep
Going out to dinner and drinks with my girlfriends is up there too.
LOL! I love Family Guy!
Lois: "You're drunk again!" Peter: "No, I'm just exhausted cause I've been up all night drinking"
I think I miss sleep most of all...
