I took 2.5 years to get pregnant. How about you?

My husband and I chose to quit using birth control in May 2004. The funny thing is, we were not even sure if we wanted kids or not; we just said, "It will happen if it's supposed to." With each passing month, I began to assume we were just not meant to have children naturally, though whether I was more disappointed or relieved, I couldn't say. But imagine my surprise when in early December 2006 I began to think, "Okay, something different is going on down there." Some disbelief and denial certainly followed. But with each week and new development, my joy is growing. I am now 24 weeks along and due in August, and wouldn't change the outcome for anything. How about the rest of you?
