Transitioning DD to her own bed makes me sad :-(

DD just turned 2. We have always coslept since she was born. As she got a little older (5 or 6 months) we would put her down in her own crib in her room and then we would bring her into our bed in the middle of the night when she woke up.
I am no longer sleeping well with her in bed. She takes up so much room and our queen sized bed is just not big enough anymore for DD, DH and I. Also, I am 10 weeks pregnant and I do want her in her own room once the baby comes. The new baby will be in our room for awhile and I don't want the baby crying and waking up disrupting her sleep.
She's actually doing well with the transition. She gives us a nice big 6 or 7 hour stretch and then I go to her and lay down with her in her room and sneak back out once she's asleep. I usually have to do this twice every night but she goes back to sleep rather quickly. I'm still so sad though. I miss the nighttime cuddles and DH has already said he doesn't want the new baby in our bed ever. (He was never a fan of cosleeping.)
