Marriage?

So my boyfriend (32)and I (29)have been dating for almost a year we have a child on the way in about 5 weeks....things are going good I think. Last night he asked are we going to get married? In which I didn’t know how to you respond and said well idk what do you think....and he said, well I think we should and I didn’t know what to say so it was quiet for a little bit and then the subject changed. How do I interpret this? Like is he gauging my opinion? Does it mean he is thinking about buying a ring? I don’t know what to think. I mean don’t get me wrong it got me a little excited. Just wanted to know y’all s opinions....
