How did you ask your husbands ?

When the topic of wanted a baby came up, how did you and your husband go about it? I know for a lot of people some pregnancies aren't planned but I'm asking for advice from those of you who planned it with your SO. I just don't know where to begin to have the conversation with him, it makes me nervous, he'd be a great father and he got baby fever the second he saw pictures of when I was a baby. That tells me he wants kids but I just don't know how to ask if we can atleast try ?we have a puppy, that'll keep me company while he is deployed, but what if it's not enough? I read so many posts about connections women feel with their babies and how life got so much better for them and their husbands. Our marriage is amazing, I'd just like to start our family now. Help 😕
