We started dating in July of 2011, and had our first in June of 2013. So less than 2 years child free, and only 10 months married child free.

3 years together no kid, almost 3 years together with a kid. pretty evenly split at this point. We had a quick date/engagement/marriage and then we waited less than a year after wedding to have a baby. SO it was all pretty quick.

Married 9.5 months before C came home. Luckily we had been together for years and had known each other for even longer. Maybe 8 years if my off the cuff math is right.

In a couple months it will be 13 years together, 6 of them married, all child-free. We've been TTC for 3 years, but in those 3 years we've actually traveled way more than we used to, and advanced a lot in our careers, and saved a lot. If (hopefully!) we do have a child someday, I think we'll be better equipped for it than we would have a few years ago.

We dated for 1.5 years before getting married and we will have been married for over a year and a half when baby boy arrives. We would have been parents several months earlier but we have had two losses. So, a little bit over 3 years from first date to first baby.
