They're fine but they're all over the place for a while. I'd go with Annabel as your 1st twin name (scrap Charlotte) and go from there. Amelia, Elisabeth, Avery are my 1st instinct choices for twin names.

Do you really think you would be less tired if you were younger? Because babies are exhausting at any age, no? Not flaming, just curious. I feel like I am in better shape and have more energy at 36 than I did at 30 (in much better shape, have healthier eating/sleeping habits)

Of course. Despite the many advances we've made socially, our bodies still have a natural window of peak fertility and fitness and 40 is well past it. harder to get pg, harder to stay pg, harder to deliver a healthy baby, harder to recover from childbirth, harder to get by on little sleep, harder to get up and down constantly, hormones already in flux ... how is this even a question?

I feel better physically at 39 than I ever have. (Obviously this does not translate to getting/staying pregnant - I am talking about after baby comes). We also have a lot more money and have to work substantially less than we did when we were younger (DH is practically retired; I am freelance). Does that make a difference/minimize all the other stuff?

That's an extremely negative response. First of all, op did not ask about getting or being or being pregnant. Second of all, while physically there are no doubt many more challenges, if you are healthy and in good shape they are not so daunting. Third of all, are you going to complete ignore all the benefits of being more patient, more financially stable, more settled in your own self? These are all very real benefits.

I think being able to afford help is key. You can be 25, but if you have zero help with twins, you would be more exhausted than a 45 yr old with help.

Super easy and impressive: Greek Avgolemono: 4 cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup uncooked orzo, salt and pepper, 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, handful fresh dill (chopped), shredded rotisserie chicken (optional). In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still al dente, about 7 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper and reduce heat to low; let simmer. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until smooth. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot broth into the egg-and-lemon mixture, whisking to combine. Add the mixture back to the simmering saucepan. Stir just until the soup becomes opaque and thickens as the eggs cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add dill, salt and pepper (to taste) and chicken if you have it, and serve.

greek lemon orzo soup. take chicken broth and crack a few eggs mixed up very well to thicken it up, some grilled chicken (we use TJ's sometimes if time is limited), lots of fresh juice from lemon, throw in some spinach, orzo and parmesan cheese. so good.

I'm not sure! I have fun with him when we're together; he's hilarious and sweet and everything else that matters. But yes, sometimes I think I'm just with him because I would feel bad breaking up with him because he says he loves me so much. Then again if he loved me as much as he says, he wouldn't tell me to "stop" when I'm hugging him in public.

Have you had similar issues in past relationships (getting bored/restless/lose the spark)? If it really is him/this particular relationship (and not just your personal issues with commitment/intimacy etc - in which case you should get therapy) then you need to end it I think. I dated a guy for 2+ years that I never felt much of a spark with, but her was loyal and kind and loving - in other words, SAFE. But ultimately not the right guy for me. It was a blessing in disguise when he finally ended things. Which was ironic that he did the breaking up, as I always thought he was way more into me than I was into him. But you know what? he realized that, and decided he did not want to be with someone who clearly was not as in love as he was.

Sounds like you both are staying together because it's easier than breaking up. Sex issues, in law issues, mental health issues? What part of that list sounds like a recipe for a strong marriage? All you left out was money issues. Do you want to get married? Want DC? If so, you may want to keep looking. He may be a great guy but is he really your great guy?

End it now because 1. You're not feeling' it and you're only at the one year mark. You'd still have strong feelings if he was a keeper, 2. You're soooo young. You have so much to do and dragging your feet when it's time to take life by it's balls is no way to go and 3. You should never stay with someone for fear of never being loved again.
