I know the timing wasn't good for her to raise the issue but that's not my main point. What about a year prior pre EA? The issue is it wasn't a priority for you. Why were you waiting for her to bring it up? Kids are a big deal and you said nothing...for years.

Re her seriousness: unless she was part of the small and vocal minority of men/women who explicitly do not want children (and she would have told you this probably before you got married), then she is part of the large majority who see it as part of their life's story.
