Both treated: As long as you both are treated and the bedding has been washed should not be a problem as most likely you both have it.

By all means: Don't miss a night. The treatment kills the mites rapidly, and the small chance of transmission isn't worth spending a night apart. Congratulations on your having one another. Cherish it.
