The good thing is some people think we look younger.... In our mid/late 30's......
I saw some very cute pictures of a very young looking and very happy couple.

I think from an energy perspective, it is much better to be a parent in your 20's..... HOWEVER, from a life experience and wisdom perspective, I think early 40's is better.... I see advantages and disadvantages of both....
I am not sure if you have children from a prior M. In my case, I am looking forward to being a "geriatric" parent. It is a little like having my cake and eating it too b/c I really had a great time in my 20's doing all the things I wanted - including travelling, etc. I spent my 30's getting established in my career. And now - I will have the time and energy to devote to being a mother. I don't feel like I will be missing out on anyting in life. And I feel like I am more centered and have more energy than I did - well at least in my 30's. Happinesss has a ways of creating a lust for life that generates its own energy.
I do worry at times that my children will never see how I worked to get to where I am today. They will arrive into a nice lifestyle.

I do admit to Wifey I only have one regret in my life.... That we did not meet in our 20's........ She gently reminds me God put us here at this point for a reason....... Yet, it would have been nice to have been married for 20 years... and have our children in high school...
Your W is a wise woman. NMD, you had to go though the path that you have gone through in your life to get where you are today. And some of your trials and tribulations in life have given you the ability to really appreciate what you have today. Besides if you like me, have decided to live till you are 125 - have you really lost that much time together?
Keep me posted on your baby progress! I am excited for you!
