We were married 6 years before my son was born. We talked about having a child but, made no real effort at having one. I was consulting at the time and had come home after being in Atlanta that week. It was early afternoon and one of my wife's best friends was there with her. My wife was looking upset and I thought something horrible had happened. Her friend left and my wife proceeded to tell me the "news".
For some reason, I guess she thought I would be upset, thus why she had that look on her face. I hugged her and told her how happy I was (truthfully, I was scared as hell, too). So, yes, my son was unplanned but, 5 years later he is becoming quite the young man.
The next will be "planned" though -- the next child is going to be adopted.
